On the one hand, it's not really a game (since I don't really consider the act of randomly making art a "game"), but on the other hand it's a really interesting idea and an awesome interpretation of the theme.\r\rThe color\/tool choices were odd, but you definitely can get a lot out of limiting creative options, so that's OK.\r\rWhat would have been really cool is if you could see what other people drew for various things."},{"author_name":"Naked_Samurai","author_uid":"25705","time":"Aug 26, 2013 @ 7:18am","epoch":1377501180,"text":"Thank you for trying the game. Even I wanted a gallery where you can see what others had drawn, but then there's a 48h time limit, so I might add it later.\rI agree with you when you say it can't really be called a "game", it all comes down to what you define a game is.\rI created this so that you are the judge of your work, you win when you are content with your creations."},{"author_name":"KristinnEs","author_uid":"25925","time":"Aug 26, 2013 @ 12:40pm","epoch":1377520500,"text":"It is a interesting little artsy toy.\rThe logo and quote at the end were the best bits."},{"author_name":"nikkesen","author_uid":"27549","time":"Aug 26, 2013 @ 12:41pm","epoch":1377520560,"text":"Well done.

It feels like the tools weren't designed with the theme in mind, they don't work well with 10 seconds. Perhaps different tools should be unlocked on each canvas, but I love when it shows you all 4 images at the end. \r\rI think there's a lot of things that can be done with this very high concept idea.

I don't think it's fair to say this isn't a game, the timer definitely added some challenge and there was a clearly defined goal... even if there wasn't enough time to reach it.\r\rYou included a bit of an explanation for that in the game, though:\r"Art is never finished, only abandoned." - Leonardo Da Vinci\r\rOf course I could be reading too much into it.

The player is playing with his own self.. while the first "level" has a clear objective the real challenge comes later. You have no time to think.. And just run with the flow... Showing what was done in less than a minute was rewarding indeed :) I really like that. According to different brushes and stuff - it's not necessary. When you have just a couple of minutes to capture a beautiful naked body on a sketch(for example) you don't think much of the expression(as colors or touches) - you just grab a charcoal and lay down a few clear(grand) lines.. that's how the best sketches are done. Thank you alot for this refreshing experience :)"}],"images":["ld27\/25705-adc51ef808678226dd1ed734937ee85b.jpg","ld27\/25705-82ff9280c760bb68b495452428b95e1f.jpg","ld27\/25705-8c0466408e7faf8d34608ec28e05267f.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/s\/ww3v8j6hbbssvl4\/Canvas10_LD27_NS.zip","text":"Windows"},{"url":"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/s\/rm9dm0v0hxf9h9b\/Canvas10_NS%28Source%29.zip","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"24845","g_author":"25705","g_event":"LD27","g_eventkey":"18","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"24875","g_title":"Canvas10","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"596","g_commentcount":"29","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/273708\/25705-shot0.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/273708\/25705-shot1.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/273708\/25705-shot2.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"An Experimental game about art created within the time span of 10 seconds.\r\nThis is my first time participating in the Ludum Dare and it was a good experience.\r\nTools used\r\nVisual C# 2010 Express\r\nXNA 4.0\r\nPhotoshop\r\nAudacity\r\n(The music was recorded from a session at the Chrome Web labs \u00e2\ufffd\ufffd Universal Orchestra)\r\n","title":"Canvas10"}
