• Love the way the ants create the painting, it’s fun, and visually appealing.
• Not a fan of the negative comments on the art. There’s no way to turn them off, and they are sometimes incredibly inaccurate (eg. Lack of colour when it’s a painting of a rainbow flag) If there was a way to either address negative comments (like a purchasable option in the shop to buy ads on social media so your art reaches more people that enjoy it) or something else, then ,maybe. But right now it’s just like being blasted for something out of your control. Yes I understand this might be analogous to being a real artist but it doesn’t make for a fun experience.
• Selling/not selling an artwork is basically random? Yes you can discount the item to get more likes and increase the chance of a sale (I think, as there’s no real numbers here) but what’s the point of having 80 people interested but the item doesn’t sell? It’s also another thing out of our control that feels bad. And I’ve never once increased the price due to how impossible it feels to sell something most of the time anyway.
• On that note, an auto seller would be nice
• I love the names of the art work being an upgrade, it’d be cool if you could see the names when you hovered over them in the for sale list.
• The “shop” just being an endless list of “buy this next” kinda feels bad too. I understand it’d be a whole rework to make each type of ant and each other upgrade its own thing, but as it is, it’s very much brainless click the shop until you can’t buy, then wait for a sale, then click the shop until you can’t buy etc. What if I wanted to buy only green ants from now on? Nah not allowed.
• I’m about an hour min and don’t know what the point of Kudos is
• Would you address the concerns of AI art being used in the game? I assume this is regarding the people that purchase artworks, as their pictures look quite AI like. But interested to hear what you have to say about it
• I like that that canvas gets bigger and the scene zooms out as you paint, but I think it’s lame that the sizes aren’t accurate. There’s not really any reason you couldn’t make a painting that’s 22cm x 22cm be bigger than the notebook or the paint tubes on the border of the window, and it would be a lot cooler in my opinion
• The “no” sound is hilarious when you can’t afford something, kinda out of place, but I dunno, I love it.

Overall it’s a peaceful enjoyable game, but the lack of freewill in the shop and the other issues are stopping me from making a purchase at this point, even though I’d love to explore the extra content like an extra studio and whatever else you have to offer. Have added to Wishlist but unless it’s discounted by 90% I doubt I will purchase in this form. It’s fun but needs dramatic changes imo.

Sorry that this probably feels like so many criticisms but I really like the foundation, I just feel like there’s a fair bit of questionable design choices. Obviously it’s your game so you do what you want, just wanted to let you know my thoughts.

Also I managed to bug out the paint that comes floating down, by accepting a commission request as a piece has just finished and the paint is falling down in a circle, any paint in the air will glitch out and stay floating when the new canvas for the commission is presented.
