The sets you are given are also great to look at. Fancy dressed women love detailed art while someone with a spiked mohawk love art with spirit and action. Every different type of customer is dressed differently depending on what they like to buy. You and the customers look like puppets as joints are ball joints and have a wood like texture for skin. Than when you gain the ability to go to the next level, you hear disembodied clapping and muttering. The music starts up, curtains opens, pleasant music greet you as customers enter and exit stage left or right. It is very much like you are on a stage controlling a puppet.

I know that it may not exactly work out as you lose display spots as you rank up in popularity, but nothing is worse than working hard on a painting just for you to lose it as you continue to the next level.

Though I do wish the paintings you already had out for sale followed you to your new place. You can specifically save a painting you worked on and loved as a screenshot, which opens up the screenshot area of the community forums to a nice area to share your in-game artwork. Knowing your customers will help you in the long run. Though, I did get the same customers that said would not buy my paintings buy them. Once you gain enough publicity, special notifications will show up, such as Passpartout gaining popularity in the first level, someone “special” coming to visit, or a group of customers deciding not to come anymore. The newspaper headings are missable, but they do hold humor in them. It can be a notification of your bills, a bidding on a painting you have for sale, a critique/harsh comment on a painting, or newspaper headings. When a customer actually likes a painting and buys it, nothing is more satisfying than seeing their little dance they do.Īs you work through the level, notifications will show up on the top left of the screen. This can help you go through the end of each level, where an art critic will show up to comment on one of your current paintings (as I never had an empty showcase, I’m sure they wait till you have at least one up for sale). And even when it’s as simple as wanting more detail, the question remains on how much detail and at what point do they deem it as not having any meaning. When they are not insulting your work, you can get something like “I hate these colors” or “I want something fresh”. Even more frustrating, they will be cryptic to what they want. Everyone has different tastes to what they like, and you are not marketing to yourself. You will have three different brushes, the regular paint brush, the spray can, and a guided pen (the last 2 being earned after a certain amount of sold paintings) to make what you desire or what the customers desire. You can, technically, draw whatever you want and still progress but it has no guarantee of selling. Or just go bankrupt.Īnd man, will it not be easy at all. Unknown by the public, work your way up so you can make an impact in the art world. You start around the bottom, not so much where you are sitting on the sidewalk but at your storage space. Set in France, you have a few levels to sell your paintings. Ever dreamed of being an inspiring artist selling your work in a public place? Sell physical paintings to customers as they walk through your wares? Look no further than Passpartout: The Starving Artist! Don’t worry about the starving part.
