Blendi builds Oil Paint with Fable 5.2 in under an hour, shares open-source browser demo

By GameSlash

Blendi's Oil Paint uses a brush-stroke look for Aurora and Autumn Wood scenes. The creator claims up to 200 FPS and shares the playable project on Patch.

Blendi shared Oil Paint, a playable browser-based experiment with a hand-painted, oil-paint look, saying it was built with Fable 5.2 in less than one hour. The creator says its visuals are drawn from large numbers of brush strokes rather than presented as a static illustration.

According to Blendi's announcement, each frame uses roughly 1.5 million brush strokes and the experience can run at 200 FPS in a browser tab. These are developer-reported figures, not independent benchmarks across devices.

The shared experiment includes visually distinct scenes. The Aurora version uses luminous greens and blues over a snowy forest, while Autumn Wood is packed with warm-colored foliage and visible painterly strokes. Blendi also says the aurora alone consists of around 40,000 brush strokes.

For game creators, the useful idea is a brush-stroke rendering aesthetic that could inspire stylized environments and experimental web games. This is a demonstration of one creator's result, not a verified plug-and-play rendering package for other engines.

Blendi describes the project as open source and makes it playable on Patch, with remixing as a way to explore the experiment. The project's exact code license and permission for commercial reuse outside Patch have not been independently verified, so do not assume that 'open source' automatically means unrestricted commercial use.
