Artist Colony is a "village" simulation game that revolutionized the genre. Based on similar concepts, such as games Virtual Villagers series, the aim of the artist colony is to create and manage a thriving colony of people from all walks of life including artists, from painters and sculptors to singers and guitarists.
The history of the colony of artist began a generation ago, when a pair of best friends – the artists – have agreed to a remote village self-sufficient, where peoplecan live out all the artistic talents and develop their skills in peace and people like you. Unfortunately, this prosperity began to unravel when a beautiful sculptress the colony turned and pushed the two best friends against one another fighting for his love. A friend had his love and had a son with her, but if they thought the end of sleeping with another friend and his son, all collapsed and broke up the colony.
The game uses the Artist Colonythe story of a generation later, when a child is returned to the colony deserted with his best friend (cue dramatic music) with the intention to revive the idea of the artist colony and the restoration of the village to its former glory.
The game begins with the arrival of your best friends in the former colony, which is crumbling. The game takes a long time to explain the mechanics and the history background and objectives in the short term and long-term game concepts.
The overall objective ofthe game is to restore the artists 'colony' to its former glory (and experience the history of the development of two half brothers) is. This is live, attracting a large number of artists in the colony, and without restoring all its attractions.
Any type of artist has a "work" that can train (for example, a recording studio for a singer). To qualify for most of the artists colony, they need these training centers to be updated. These upgrades and the landmark case restoration is needed,that are acquired through the sale of masterpieces: works of art produced by their artists. These works in turn can only arise if your artists have adequate training and be inspired.
Artists need inspiration for great art to produce. It can inspire through beautiful surroundings, such as fountains and flower beds can be, and the romance with other artists. When their objects of affection advances their return, will be inspired to create works of love (thinkCeline Dion). You can still make progress when his romantic masterworks rejected. They paint just write / / sing of anguish instead (if the artist is a singer, the product will probably be a country and western songs). In addition to everything that artists also need food and shelter to live comfortably, another detail that you must manage.
The game mechanics are simple and elegant. There are a lot of detail and complexity that keep you interested and engaged inthe game, but not too much to slow the game or turn it into a chore. What makes the game really stands, is the driving experience. The characters and the environment have a cartoon feel very charismatic, just fell in love with them. The soundtrack and also the change of seasons and time makes the game very interesting and enjoyable.
Artist Colony is a typical simulation game village. His account of a colony of artistic people who are trying to build community and reachHighlights of artistic excellence is a refreshing change from the traditional simulation game. Above all, this game is all about the history of seeing, romance, heartbreak, betrayal and tragedy. Definitely a game that does not want to lose.
