Just saw the dual traits. Love it. Definitely a small feature that adds a lot to the dynamics.
Regarding the tooltips, the size does throw you off at first glance. It feels like a tooltip from a different program. Doesn't look bad at all, but definitely throws you off at first.

Nice to see all the progress recently. YAY!
I think the tooltip background is worse than the font size. The transparency, rounded corners and too bright blue color is no good.

Yeah, I agree with playaction. The style of the background looks too different.
Amazing game, btw.

A possible trait you could do is "Distracted". The artist would randomly stop working for a few seconds every once in a while.
Also, make the background of the tooltips look like the rest of the game and no bright blue.
Good work on the game though, still waiting for it to come out.

Ideias of traits:
Popular: Attracts more clients.
Unpopular: The opposite.

Thanks! I'll do another tooltip variation and check again with you guys to see if it's any better. Nice to see all the progress recently. YAY!

Thanks for the feedback, will work on it  Great, thanks! Yeah, Caravaggio is a big inspiration for the "Rebellious" trait. I'll see what else I can get from him. Yeah, I agree with playaction. The style of the background looks too different.

Oooh, Popular/Unpopular is a good one! I'll implement it today!  A possible trait you could do is "Distracted". The artist would randomly stop working for a few seconds every once in a while.
Also, make the background of the tooltips look like the rest of the game and no bright blue.
Good work on the game though, still waiting for it to come out.
"Distracted" sounds great too! Should be a funny one. I'll try that with the tooltip. Glad this is still going, always good to post progress.
Thanks! I'll try to post more regularly for the next few weeks. Here are the new paintings that your artists can paint:  They're all based on actual Renaissance paintings. With these, we've doubled the painting variety. More soon! |

Maybe: Depressive, Pedantic, Ingenius, Drunkard, ... [...] Here are the new paintings that your artists can paint: They're all based on actual Renaissance paintings. With these, we've doubled the painting variety. More soon! The paintings are very nice! I'd be cool if, at very rare intervals, some artist (according to his nature) would produce a Mondrian, Miró, Warhol, ... painting and the customer would (with a high chance) reject it and not pay anything for the painting but pay a lot more in case he/she accepts the painting.  |

I made a video: What is Painters Guild?  I explain how the game works and stuff. Maybe: Depressive, Pedantic, Ingenius, Drunkard, ... The paintings are very nice! I'd be cool if, at very rare intervals, some artist (according to his nature) would produce a Mondrian, Miró, Warhol, ... painting and the customer would (with a high chance) reject it and not pay anything for the painting but pay a lot more in case he/she accepts the painting. Cool ideas! I'm going for historical accuracy though, so no anachronisms. There were some pretty unique paintings in the Renaissance, there is no reason to insert modernism into it. |

New video looks great and I love the portraits. Honestly, the more paintings you can have the better. In a game about painting, you expect to see a wide variety of paintings from your guild. You may want to consider including paintings focused on hell, which was a common theme during the renaissance. This would let you get creative with the art and would suit some of the "darker" character traits that you have for some of the painters. You need DLC for having your painters dedicate years of their lives to painting church ceilings...
I'm absolutely enamored with this game's concept. I spent some time last year in Venice and Rome and spent a day in the Vatican, with a good portion of that day just sitting in the Sistine Chapel. I adore art from the renaissance and think this is such a wonderful concept for a video game.

This is a great idea, including pixel art versions of real paintings from the period is inspired. I do like Zorg's idea that occasionally a painter will turn out a more contemporary style picture and everyone gets a bit upset
Looking forward to seeing some more

Great video! Everything looks really neat and cute. I especially love this Mona Lisa painting at the main screen, really like this style. Do you plan to add some bigger paintings like that in the game?

Trying a different tooltip style!  I think the UI colors need an update, so I'm keeping this neutral gray for now. I hope it's readable. New video looks great and I love the portraits.

Thanks! Yeah, I'll try to add more paintings as we go along. Decorating churches for years is actually in the game through the Great Works mechanic, in which your painters leave the guild for months to paint the interior of palaces and such. Thanks a lot for your continued support of the game and your posts here in the devlog, oldblood This is a great idea, including pixel art versions of real paintings from the period is inspired.

Thank you very much, Shantalya. I was working on another one of those paintings the other day, but there isn't much place for it considering the entire game is pixel art. I think I will only use them as promotional images, like Steam headers and banners, and perhaps as background to the main menu (which might be pixel art, don't know yet). |
