- Lots of fixes showing up in Phénix today! - 15 November 2024
Bonjour, my fellow artists! 🍷🥖 We’re releasing an update today that will mostly focus on a whole lot of minor fixes that we’ve been working on for a long time. It also includes the addition of a new brush that has been requested multiple times in our Discord community. See the full list below. Additions New brush! The Norlic brush, inspired by the request of one of our most active community members! This new brush allows for easier and more detailed blending of colours, available in Benjamin’s art supplies store! Automatic language selection on start-up. Fixes Rotating the sword pieces during the quest to get Shakespeare's skull should no longer result in a non-functional, square sword. Wiped away stuck bids. The colour of palettes should now be the same both while looking at them in the toolbox and while painting. You were not going crazy. Save file thumbnails will always appear. Fix…

- 💌It's the Month of Love - 14 February 2024
Bonjour my fellow artists 🍷🥖 It has been a while! I hope everyone is doing well in the freezing winter. Or, if it’s warm wherever you are, we are super jelly please send heat. Oh! Today is Valentine's Day. So we have a sweet announcement to make. We’re changing our relationship status from “it’s complicated” to “partner” as we can ecstatically announce we’re officially in a relationship with Wacom💛 Passpartout 2 is now chilling inside the circuits of the Wacom One as a free demo to try! In addition, US, EU, and UK customers can also purchase the Passpartout 2 at Wacom Estore! Supporting tablets hasn’t been easy and we’re grateful for the help we’ve received from Wacom to make their devices work well with Passpartout 2. Of course, the game supports other tablets as well and we made a Handy Guide if you need help with your setup.🎨 Also, I must tease that we got some more exciting Pass…
- Minor Patch for save files - 10 January 2024
Hello! We were made aware of an issue with the game when loading certain older save files. This patch fixes so they load properly. A special thanks to all in the discussions forum who helped us pinpoint the issue!
- Patch 1.1.1 - 21 December 2023
Hey! We wanted to publish a patch to follow up on our latest content update. This patch addresses: - The studio looked a bit too well baked on the outside, so we turned down the heat somewhat. - Adrienne should no longer improvise with lettering when making posters in polish - Fixed an issue where a saboteur drew some extra lines on your fine art if you played on a low frame rate. This will retroactively fix paintings made since patch 1.0.2 and on (since october-ish). - Someone (me) forgot to add the localization for the new things in Japanese. This has now been un-forgotten. This is the final update for the year as we in the studio head into our blankets for the holidays. With that, thank you all for playing! See you all next year!
- Hotfix patch - Studio Update - 15 December 2023
Hey! We were made aware that an issue slipped past us that prevented players from using the Popup Table once bought. This hotfix addresses that. Apologies for the inconvenience this caused! We'll continue listening and improving upon this content update. Hopefully it's smoother painting for you all from this point on!
- The Studio Update Now Live! - 14 December 2023
Bonjour my fellow artists! From the snowy landscapes I’m super stoked to announce our biggest update since the launch of the game. Say bonjour to: Sit down, grab a hot cup of tea as we explore what the update has to offer. The studio is entirely remade. We wanted the studio to feel more special and like a historical part of Phénix. It also always felt a bit cramped to us (or what cheeky real estate agents would call “cozy”) so we made it larger to give you some breathing space. We want the studio to feel like a home, like it belongs to you. So from this patch you can customize your studio by choosing your interior decoration style as well as flooring and wallpaper. Now to the cool part. This is an art game after all. In the studio you’ll be able to draw your own wallpaper pattern - making the studio completely unique to you! Honestly can’t wait to see what wallpaper designs you’ll cook…
- Nominations for Passpartout 2 in the Steam Awards! - 21 November 2023
Bonjour our fellow artists 🍷🥖 It's been a pretty exciting year! We released Passpartout 2 on Steam in April and on Nintendo Switch in November🎂 It was almost three years ago that we started developing the prototype of Passpartout 2, and it is with great thanks to the community that we have made it to this day. Thank you very much! Nominations for the Steam Awards are open today! If you could, please nominate us as your cool ”SIT BACK AND RELAX” game!☕ Oh, and don't miss the Autumn sale going on at the same time as the Steam Awards event! It's getting colder, so please stay warm. Happy painting🎨🌟 Flamebait Team
- Language & Settings hotfix - 13 November 2023
We found the languages that got lost after the previous update. They have now been returned to their home in the settings menu. This patch also contains some improvements to how settings are loaded and applied, which should help users who experienced issues entering that menu.
- Now Steam Deck Verified, Tablet Support, and more! - 6 November 2023
Hello all! This is the resident code-wrangler speaking. With Passpartout 2 coming to switch soon (yay!), we've been working hard these past months to bring all improvements made to make it run well on the Switch console back to PC! This includes: Significantly improved loading times for new games Performance improvements, especially when running the game on Low/Medium settings Some 120 fixes, big and small! I noticed a mistake I made that affects the size of the application & patches that I needed to correct. This means this patch will be larger than you'd expect from a update without new content. Future patches (I hope) will only be large if they contain new content for y'all. ^^ We've also taken a deeper dive into tablet support. It's a bit tricky with all different brands and models around, and we've found there's almost always some steps required of the user to ensure it works corre…
- 🎁A post-summer Passpartout gift🎨 - 22 August 2023
Bonjour my fellow artists 🍷🥖 The Flamebait team is back to work, fully recharged from a lovely summer vacation. This summer has been very hot in many countries, so please remember to stay well hydrated! 🌊 Today I wanted to share two very cool things with you, my brush-wielding troupe d'artistes! Namely… Passpartout 2 Nintendo Switch is coming soon!!!🎉 We will be able to announce a more detailed date shortly but rest assured it’ll reach your fingertips this year! For the Nintendo Switch version you’ll be able to draw in many different ways. Either using the touch screen - just like a tablet, or using a Joy-Con like a magic brush, or just by using the joystick if you prefer that. We’re anxious to get it out there and into your hands! Why don’t you check out our announcement trailer? While you wait we have a special surprise for you art-thirsty color-conquerors! Thanks to our lovely ar…
- Summer Language Update - 27 June 2023
Bonjour my fellow artists 🍷🥖 In our home of Sweden, we’ve just celebrated midsummer which marks the longest days where the sun barely sets! Soon the whole team will be heading off on some well deserved summer holiday. Have you made your summer plans yet?🏖️ For me, we’ll be taking the baby on the road a cozy trip around the country. Good food ✅, chilling ✅ and carefree existence ✅. To celebrate the summer and the season of travel we’ve added a bunch of new languages in this pre-summer update. The additional languages are Turkish, Italian, Spanish, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Finnish and Dutch. With this we hope that even more people can enjoy the game, especially all the monolingual little humans out there looking to embark on their artistic journey. We are working on a content update as well. It just needs a bit more love before it’s ready to face the world and we’re planning on rele…
- Save files are moving somewhere safer! - 29 May 2023
Hello all! As some users have made us aware, currently the game can struggle to handle save files correctly. This has unfortunately lead to loss of save progress for users affected. To fix this, the save files are moving to another home! So what do I need to do? Glad you asked! Most of the times, nothing! When you launch the game after this update it will attempt to copy your existing save files over to the new location. The old save files will also be kept safe & sound where you last left them, though the game won't use them anymore. Should the game fail to move the files for you, you can always move the files manually. To do so there are these following steps: Navigate to Documents\Flamebait Games\Passpartout 2\ Copy your steam-XXXXXXXXXXXXX folder Navigate to C:\Users\\AppData\LocalLow\Flamebait Games\Passpartout 2 Paste the folder in here The save files should now appear in the game…
- Thanks and What’s Happening Next? - 4 May 2023
Merci my fellow artists!🍷🥖 I huge super-thank-you to everyone who’s already played the game⭐️ It has been exactly one month since the PC release. In that time we have done two minor updates, fixing some urgent issues, and are working now to fix some more things. We’re also planning to bring the game to more platforms and would love to make the game available in more languages, so stay tuned for news about that! This year we will be focusing our efforts on making updates for Passpartout 2. The idea is to add more content and features for free so you can get even more enjoyment out of the game! But first, we focus on making sure the game is stable for everyone so you all can enjoy painting your hearts away 🙂 Again, HUGE thank you for all your positive feedback, lovely reviews and comments. It melts our hearts to see so many people enjoying the game, and seeing all the amazing art you a…
- Minor Patch - 18 April 2023
Bonjour! Mattias here with another small update including some fixes you've been reporting! Fixed various minor localization issues. Trying a fix so the band member stops going wild playing their own music. Fixed so the brush selection UI never gets a weird grey flickering background. Fixed so you can't ruin your save by accidentally burning key items over at Hope. Fixed so the canvas buttons don't think they are bigger than they are. Fixed an issue where Passpartout's extravagant painting poses would cause some PCs to crash. Save files should now be more stable. Thank you to everyone who helped out with reporting issues. We'll continue keeping a track of the bugs you report and still have many to squash ahead! Happy painting! //Mattias
- In Passpartout 2: The Lost Artist you can become an art master with hard work - 6 April 2023
Calling all failed artists! Passpartout 2: The Lost Artist is out on Steam . I am still the frustrated artist struggling to survive that I was in the first Passpartout . This time, though, I’ve lost more than just my shabby shack. There are no bills to pay; instead, I’ve invested all my money into art supplies and rented a studio in the town of Phénix. Finally, I can become an art master, having my naive artwork displayed just alongside Van Gogh's. Read more

Bonjour our fellow artist 🍷🥖 It is getting warmer and spring-like in Sweden🌸Hope everyone is doing well!
