Nice one there,Deathink.
But why is it rated E when the guy draws a penis on the painting canvas?!
Reviews for "MAKE IT as an Artist"
deathink responds:
well, its not very real looking.
The style: Very fitting for a dark-toned game the song really hit the spot for me
the message: If you are an artist and this didn't react to you in any way then... then nothing actually. This might just be the perfect example of hobbie vs career. If you relate in anyway to this video game please consider professional help, this is not an accurate representation of an artist but it could very well be the autor's, so for that, It plays very good with the Frustration of keeping every aspect of the characters life in check.
THE GAMEPLAY: Overall sim-like which I enjoy personally, But the money vs fame system is definetly not the best. fame doesn't affect (for what I could tell) nothing at all, doesn't increase the amount of money you get from working or anything in particular, so it just feels like it's there for the sake of it.
It would have been much better if the fame meter increased slowly and as you increased it, more money could be made, so that it would remain unfair at the beginning but easier as you play along.
Another aspect I didn't like was the fact that you become an alcoholic based on total drinks and not drinks per day. Drinking once per day shouldn't create addiction, but even if it does, in game I would stop drinking for a week but status ailments wouldn't disapear, so I've pretty much just wasted another run.
TL:DR : 2,5 stars. The message is nice and gives you an odd sense of belonging if you at all relate to this game (seriously seek a psychologist, they are professionals at this sort), but the gameplay is flawed and unfair which discourages completion.
This is kind of sad.
Pshh this guy... you fake it til you make it. Shill that art on the corner, bud! Bust into restaurants and drop a small sketch on someones table and scrape for that dough! Little skullhead has a pc, but where's the PC porn? Put those dick pics to good use! And where's the hacks? swiping art to take shortcuts? Where's the hand to hit this really annoying flickering TV?
As a concept, this might be deep. But I'm an idiot, and I don't like thinking too hard. As a game, i dislike it appears a really slow version of the Sims. I can't give any decent score for slow, boring Sims, but I respect you all the same.
And then the painting containing red bits of blood and brain matter, entitled, "Mind of an artist" sells for redonkulous money, and he's finally rich and famous. Albeit, unaware of such, because he's dead.
