Pat Naoum spent years painting every part of “The Master’s Pupil,” a puzzle platforming game set inside the eye of the impressionist master.
In the game, players lead a small sprite through landscapes of brushstrokes to solve physics- and color-based puzzles. The player navigates the inside of a pupil while discovering the masterworks of impressionist painter Claude Monet.It’s not unusual to see video games created by one person. But Naoum’s creative process stands out in a crowd of idealistic, independent programmers.
in tone and gameplay, a 2D platformer a la “Super Mario Bros.” with a focus on solving physics puzzles. “I thought I could start at the edge of the iris, which represents the start of a person’s life and we’d move towards the pupil over the course of their life, and the pupil would be looking down into the abyss of death,” Naoum said. “I spent years wondering who this person would be.” He toyed with the idea of following the life of a World War II survivor growing old throughout the 20th century, but because of his relative youth, Naoum said it “seems insincere.
Naoum wanted to incorporate Monet’s real-life paintings. In the final game, a player’s success is often rewarded by a dozen or so pieces scrolling together to create one of the impressionist master’s full works. It’s a storytelling moment, marking milestones in Monet’s life, and also a visual reward for clever players.
“When I first heard about it, I thought ‘That sounds great, but I’m just one guy chipping away at a project,’ but my girlfriend convinced me, ‘If you don’t get it, at least you tried. But if you do get it, it will be life-changing,’” he said. At that moment, he was already half a decade into the project and felt the passage of time wear on him.“I was still taking a pay cut,” he said.
