History
The original Mondrian - Abstraction in Beauty was released on September 21, 2015 for PC. We spent a year adding to and improving the game, giving players a brand new scoring system, new levels, new game modes, overall improved gameplay, and hand-painted background art. We eventually brought the game to Washington DC to display it during the Smithsonian American Art Museum's Indie Arcade exhibit, and won the 2016 Indie Revolution Expo's Audience Choice Award. Toward the end of Abstraction in Beauty's development, we began kicking ideas around for a follow-up, and what it should include. The biggest demand we kept hearing from our community was "Level Editor!" so we developed Mondrian Maker, an easy to use but powerful editor for the game that opened up massive possibilities that had not existed previously. Using Mondrian Maker, levels can now include multiple shapes, scales and angles, modifiers, and even painted colors. Levels are now saved as shareable external files, which can be shared at our mod.io page. Of course, an editor is only as good as the game behind it, and while we had established a strong core with the original Mondrian, we wanted to take things to the next level. With this one, we introduced 5 playable characters, each of which are getting dedicated stories in a new Campaign game mode.
