The upcoming game Drawquarium has released a trailer that goes beyond explaining its features, instead becoming a poignant and timely short film. The trailer follows a young life from wonder and creativity to obligation and frustration, touching on the rise of AI art and its dispiriting effects on aspiring artists. It ends on a hopeful note about the joy of creating art for its own sake.
The game's developer, Kaleb, describes the origin of Drawquarium as coming from their own children's art. The game allows players to create and care for fish in their aquarium, with the option to set it as a desktop wallpaper. Drawquarium is set to release on November 13, with a demo available now.
