Artist Master:Studio Simulator

Would pay $5 for a balanced game... instead of only having premium artists for pay, plus the pay ratio for work versus time spent getting artist mastered is unbalanced. Hell you could even try paid dlc content instead of pay as you go... this would help your company stay afloat longer. #justsaying

It is a solidly ok game. Love the concept, but the controls are super clunky and the idea of having to pay real money for decent artists is annoying. It's meh.

It's good that other developers start to step in pixel art games, because for now there's only one leading company which makes pixel art only games. Now about this one, no, I don't have any money to spend on gems to hire great artist, nay. I think the trick is you hire lowest levels and you level them up,I started playing and I'm still figuring everything. I like the gameplay, one of my artists went to jail because of rape allegations

Was great until Da Vinci died and I almost shed a tear ;(

It's set in Istanbul. I'm now triggered, thanks game.

Developers are addressing issues and there are only a few ads that are skippable after 5 seconds. Its a little redundant, but very cute and relaxing.

The game it's a direct copy from Painters Guild, but I still liked it.

Cute and fun game. I love playing this practically all day.

It's okay. I mean, I enjoy it, I stayed up til 9am last night playing it! (6am tonight) but the difficulty it gets to after around year 125 is quite insane. I'm on my second game and I lucked out and got given 10000 randomly early on (maybe quest? Unsure) so I've been able to hire 4.5* artists for years, but nearing year 180 with only 3 artists (I usually have 5) one on death bed and not being able to complete most artworks, lowering my fame from rejections, all because I'm not spending premium currency on 5* artists, without them the strategy is hard to work out (over time customers want 5* works which isn't always possible even with level 50 4.5* artists). I jump at all the ad chances and only have 120 diamonds. The difficulty climbs rather quickly and is unforgiving, I mean I'm on one leaderboard (top 20 as a rude name, sorry about the rude name) but damn, I'd enjoy it more if there were levels of difficulty you could set or something. I love just organising my artists and seeing how quick I can train them rather than watch over the years as they inevitably go into bankruptcy/run out of artists as I can't afford ones that can do the quality of work customers want, it seems very pay to win. Otherwise, it's cute and I like it. Also, maybe add Tips or a tutorial something, eg how much fame rejecting a job costs, difference between yellow and orange ! jobs, etc. Would be super helpful! And finally, I already struggle raising money, so paying for masterpieces is really expensive. Maybe knock level 30 trip down to 1000 and masterpiece to like 2500? If added difficulty settings that could be on Easy or something. Dunno, just some ideas. Otherwise, I've been up til dawn two nights in a row cos of the game, so I guess this is a mixed review! Edit: knocked off a star because I came back to find all my diamonds gone.

Thanks for filling in a lacking genre.

I love this game for the short time that I played but when my save is never there when I come back it's broken. Sorry but this game is awesome but broken.

I didn't know the artists can die

Love this game. So awesome. Love the pixel look. That being said it never saved my game and when I started a new game it started fine but no customers show up... At all. So I'm trying uninstalling and reinstalling. It is pretty upsetting to play for so long and lose it all tho. But once that is fixed. Bam. Fantastic game.

Maybe too challenging, however. The pay is too low to purchase upgrades, the artists work too slowly to finish timed quests or do not receive enough work during that time, artists go to jail too often, new artists cost a lot of money for subpar work.

Suddenly I have no save to load.. meaning the few $ I spent for artist went to waste. It should be illegal these days to have a payment system for games and no cloud save to back up those investments. I've no idea how my save was lost to begin with because I didn't delete any data or the game. This alone makes me go from a great rating to a horrible one. Good job failing at the easy things. This company is a disgrace to me now.

The difficulty is that the art i sell isnt really enough to live up and get higher things especially when i hired a 3.5 star artist ( with slow disability ) just to make him entirely useless, because of the very low limit in skills. Ideas: There should be items that would be helpful financially and would have weird abilities like reviving the dead artists from their graves ( those items would be earned from special art participations, you could also get jail-out bill!), also it would be nice to have an option to upgrade furniture with love points ( cuz you know: love and work make things good ), this would mean that artist would have more time for painting and learning as time goes on! also it would be cool if there was something like designing the schedule for artists, this would allow the player to either lower the annual cost thus lower the work hours of artists or the opposite! ALSO FIX THE DECCENIAL TOURNAMENT...SINCE ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO BEAT ANYBODY THERE BECAUSE OF GEMS BEING THE ONLY WAY TO WINNING - THEY SHOULDNT, THEY ARE FOR HELPING NOT UNLOCKING THE HIGHER HEIGHTS!

beautiful game i invested a lot of time on it but my very advanced saves just got deleted 3 times now for no reason. I clicked save and closed the game properly and later when i click load it finds no saves . Fix it please this breaks the game entirely

then gets tedious once ur artists start dying off and u have to re-train someone from scratch

Time sink when it works but it's lost my save once and now it won't even start

Lost my save, not worth the effort

Its a piggiebag version of painters guild ....

Crashes by the time i load it

it's very fun and creative

The gameplays good and very fast paced. But half an hour into it I'm constantly bombarded with new artists that cost diamonds and prompted to buy said diamonds. The artists for gold are crap and it soon dawns on me to make this work I gotta spend. Add some free diamonds now and then else I'm simply not playing.

I liked the game, played it for an hour or so. It was great, besides having to pay money for the five star artists, but you can work around that. What isn't acceptable AT ALL is once I decided to do something other than play this game, it started popping up the pay screen every minute or so, trying to make me pay for gems while I wasn't even in the game. What dirty tactics, no wonder you ask for every permission possible. Disgusting practices.

Difficult to figure out the strategy, eventually gave up after studio went bankrupt for the 3rd time

The death and age thing for the artists suck and it was pay to win

A good idea hampered by poorly explaining mechanics and IAPS to get ahead

Felt too bland after a while

Crashes at launch. Unplayable

Its a cute fun game and I really enjoy it it's so fun

This game has its own awesomeness!

Fix the save in this game

Best game and nothing

Good game

when I open the game it's said no save game though I've already saved it. The first time I load the save it works but the 2nd time doesnt. do i have to restart it again and again then?

I get the main menu screen, tap new game and nothing happens.

I just installed the game and when I clicked new game nothing happens

The gameplays good and very fast paced. But half an hour into it I'm constantly bombarded with new artists that cost diamonds and prompted to buy said diamonds.

Too many random bad events, i can't even save enough money to do anything..
