Soon you can paint happy trees without setting up a canvas and tuning into PBS. The one and only Bob Ross, host of The Joy of Painting, is taking his first step into the world of gaming. Bob Ross Inc. is seeking to license AGFRAG Entertainment Group to create a handful of games based on the painter's famous techniques.

What really gets us excited is that these as yet untitled games are scheduled to appear on the PC, Nintendo DS, and Revolution. Each of these platforms, especially the DS and Revolution, has a unique interface that can potentially make virtual painting the next best thing since...painting.

AGFRAG's Director of Development, Joseph Hatcher, goes into more detail regarding the game's interface: "The Bob Ross game will utilize the unique inputs that the Nintendo DS and Nintendo Revolution have that can truly immerse the players while they learn to paint like Bob Ross and can play the addictive and fun games that we have planned for the title."


So far no release date is set, but we'll be sure to keep you posted as more details become available.
