A huge thank you to all our fellow artists for your continued support and patience!

After a long period of polishing, tweaking, and fine-tuning, we are absolutely thrilled to finally share this news with you—

The multiplayer "collage-and-guess" game, We, Junk Artists, will officially launch on August 7 (Beijing Time) / August 6 (Pacific Time). The game will be priced at $9.99, with a 15% launch discount bringing it down to $8.49 for the first two weeks.

On launch day, we will also drop the Supporter Pack alongside a free original soundtrack featuring 5 original tracks.

New Modes

In Multiplayer, on top of the Classic Mode, we are introducing two brand-new modes: "Shadow Only" and "1 Item Only."

  • In"Shadow Only", any material you drag in automatically turns into a silhouette. With no colors or details—just pure shapes—both collaging and guessing will rely entirely on your imagination. When an artwork is stripped down to its bare outline, will the answer become crystal clear, or wildly absurd?

  • In"1 Item Only", when picking your word, you must also choose one material. You can place it freely and duplicate it as much as you want, but that is the ONLY material available for the entire artwork. It’s a real challenge, but you’ll be surprised by the unexpected creativity that sparkles from limited options.

It includes 7 "Insomnia" stickers, 12 "Fall Plants" materials, and 2 special collaboration titles from Insomnia and A Perfect Day. If you love We, Junk Artists, picking up the Supporter Pack is a wonderful way to support us. Thank you so much for your support and love. We will keep creating more things with heart!

  • Original Soundtrack: If you enjoy the music in the game, you can claim this free Original Soundtrack DLC, beautifully crafted by artist He Zhangwenqin and featuring 5 original tracks. We hope this music accompanies you through many relaxing and heartwarming moments.

Lastly, thanks again for every artist who has been with us throughout this journey. Since our very first playtest, We, Junk Artists has grown every step of the way thanks to your valuable feedback and constructive suggestions. We couldn't have made it here without you.
