Some of you people need to realize that this is an alpha version of the game... alphas are expected to be rough, unfinished, and buggy. I can, however see the potential of this game and I voted for it on steam greenlight, before I know that it was here on newgrounds.
Reviews for "Painters Guild (Alpha)"
Bug alert!!! The game accused me of sodomy but didn't let me watch!!!!
interesting game and cool concept. it is a little hard to keep up with your guild payments especially if you are trying to upgrage your items and gain skill all at the same time but maybe i just wasnt very diligent. are what the messages say actual historically accurate? if so i would give this game another star
A really good game for being in alpha. The music isn't too distracting, the style is pretty cool, and the mechanics are pretty good too. However it needs a sell feature as well as a buy one, perhaps a way to hire more guild members also.
A small bug that I came across was if you fail the game and restart by clicking play game when it takes you back to the menu you seem unable to move the characters anymore.
It is actually very solid, the gameplay is consistent and the difficulty is on point, the graphics are neat, the music suits well and the theme is really nice, some add-ons could be made here and there (like making the workshop more efficient, disposing of obsolete furniture), the character progression seem a bit vague since the only difference is how fast they paint and get tired, some perk system and/or special traits from different artists, a hiring system, a sandbox mode and a more accomodative finance system.
