Reviews for "Starving Artist"
me : draws swears on paper.
the game: that's some fine art there
btw the grade was a B if my lab top was not laggy it would have been an A
THEY GIVE ME 10k FOR A JOJO REFERECE
I thought this was cool - I like how the paint comes out on the canvas and the music is pretty chill. Had some Paspartou vibes!
I'd love to know how you rank the paintings or if its random?
jontopielski responds:
The paintings are ranked based on the current events of that day, which can be found by clicking the "News" button. For example, if the headlines suggest high cloud coverage or chaos, filling the canvas makes your painting sell for more. Or if there are many mentions of a specific color or theme, using those colors will help the paintings sell for more.
I made the source code public so you could see where the game is actually going through the canvas array and averaging things like the amount of canvas coverage and the average RGB / HSV values: https://github.com/pyrecraft/starving-artist/blob/master/SaleLogic.gd#L156
And then based on the "criteria" which is determined from the news stories, the final payout / score is calculated: https://github.com/pyrecraft/starving-artist/blob/master/SaleLogic.gd#L46
I had fun painting this the game :)
