As the status is now, the currently untitled game is planned to be developed for PC, Nintendo DS and the next-gen console Nintendo Revolution that is expected later this year.

Joseph Hatcher, Director of Development, AGFRAG's said;

I grew up watching Bob Ross on PBS and was always in awe of how quickly and smoothly he made these beautiful paintings, which helped inspire my creativity. There are generations that know Bob Ross and his painting techniques, and I want to share his talent with future generations in a new medium. 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. I believe that Bob Ross Inc's and AGFRAG Entertainment Group's similar beliefs in independence, creativity, and teaching others will benefit how the game is developed and how the players of all ages will be able to enjoy this game. I want the community to share with us their favorite Bob Ross shows, painting techniques, and what they'd like to see in the NDS and Revolution games. We want to keep the brush going.

Anyway, reports are that AGFRAG is currently seeking a publisher. And, as far as the title is concerned, I guess it would be Joy of Painting.

Quite obvious, isn't it? Let's see if this will be true.
