I will be honest after playing the few mins I almost feel like being honest of what you really want dont mean shit to the world ( that is tough struggle to go through which makes me wonder how artist like monty oum do it I mean he quit high school for goodness sake) but then it depends on perspective you hit the nail man a good concept but sadly I wont buy the full game since I will question if my honesty is hidden lie for misery to come.
Reviews for "MAKE IT as an Artist"
This game really makes you feel some of the struggles that come with trying to be an artist. I really enjoyed the aspect of making the player feel something. I don't know the struggles of being an artist, but I felt like this game gave me an idea of what it's like.
I really enjoyed the music, but it does get repetitive. The palm trees and sunset were nice visuals. I also liked the pixel art style.
I found this game to be needlessly difficult, however. Everything drains too quickly and I found it ridiculous that everything drains even when you're not doing anything. It makes no sense to lose money when you're not doing anything. I can understand the other three things draining when you're not doing anything, but money? No, definitely a flawed mechanic.

Hey man, thanks for the review.
There has been a bunch of comments saying things like "it's makes no sense to lose money when you're doing nothing", this is false.
Everyday you live (at least as an adult) you are incurring debt because of things like rent, electric, food, taxes and the list goes on and on.
If life was truly a video game, it would be optimum to procure as much money in the least amount of time, because the more time you live the less money you will retain.
This is a super stressful concept that rattles subconsciously in the back of a lot of peoples minds, because instead of focusing on making the most money you can, you being focusing on losing the least money you can which is much more pessimistic in contrast.
Tedious and unrewarding.

I know right? Screw this art stuff!
I enjoyed the poem in the night. I sadly could not follow the words well, due to game music, but in the end to finish the poem or to see where it leads kept me going.
Yes, the dreams were the only thing that kept me trying to be an artists until I died. Actually I stoped a bit before I dies, when the dream was trough.
not exactly an original concept, but props for getting me right where it hurts. love the style too.
