Pretty good game, somewhat addictive, but there are random game overs which I dislike. For example, I had been accused of homosexual relationships with XXXXXX XXXXXX and I just was at skill/speed 60, couldnt even reach to Andrea's skill/speed. Yet its pretty good, no glitches or stuff like that, one of the cons about the timer, is that sometimes you complete a painting but the times ran out just a milisecond before finishing it. 4.5/5
Reviews for "Painters Guild (Alpha)"
I think the patrons coming need to be staggered, so that you have time to prepare. Either that, or you need more artists. I think that the paintings need to cost more based on your prestige and the difficulty level/time it took to make it. Maybe a bonus for doing it early (having time left on it). There's no way to tell if someone is tired until they're ZZZing, so I think there needs to be a bar for that attached to the other info you get when you mouse over one of the artists. If it's not in place already (I didn't spend too much time focusing on whether there was a difference) I suggest compounding the done part of the painting when more than one artist is working on it. Like other people have suggested, I think having another artist in the mix and/or making the payments for the portraits more would make it easier. The studying part seems really harsh for no reason--you lose mastery of the craft when you practice the craft? I don't really get it.
I didn't do a lot with the shop because I never had enough money, so I can't really speak on that point.
I love the little news tidbits you have in there. I also love the fact that the portraits are of the people buying them. I hope you continue developing this wonderful little game into something more! It's definitely fun to play.
Love this game. Game ended though when I(Leonardo) was accused of having homosexual relations with Jacopo Saltarelli. lol awesome game :D
maybe a way to expand the size of the studio or sell off superfluous furnishings would be nice, good stuff though
