My Kind of Game
If you like not having any time restraints and want to relax while taking your time, this is a good game for you. This game runs at the pace you set which I love.
Storyline: You start out with two characters who are trying to restore a colony made specifically for artists and return it to its former glory when your father ran it. Eventually new people will show up with their own storyline and it's up to you on how you train them and when so you can progress the story.
Graphics: I thought they were cute. Not the absolute best there is but that's what gives this game its charm and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Sound: I actually don't play with the sound up as I play late at night, so as not to disturb others in the house. I can't comment on this aspect.
Gameplay: There is a lot of clicking on characters and dragging them to certain studios in order to upgrade their abilities or dragging them to the residence hall for sleep or to the kitchen to eat. All characters have two abilities that cap at level 10. You also have to watch their needs, such as hunger, aspiration, and sleepiness. This affects their motivation to do any training, working around the park or creating masterpieces. You can fall in love but it's not really necessary. All that does for your characters is bring their aspiration up.
This game is a bit slow, as I mentioned it goes as fast or as slow as you want. You can have your artists level up in the studios, such as the painting studio or the dance studio in any order you want as long as they have those abilities. If you want, you can level them up completely in one area before you move on to the next one. You can only level them up so far in the story before you "upgrade" to the next though.
One thing that irked me was when your characters create their masterpieces, buyers didn't seem to want to show up to buy them. So that time was wasted waiting because you can't create another masterpiece even if you have other artists with max aspiration because it stays there until it's bought. Also made it hard to get money to complete a task. I easily sat there for 20 minutes waiting. And I was done training, so I couldn't do anything else.
Overall, I like that there is no time constraints. I want to relax at my own pace and this game is great for it. I really enjoy seeing my characters develop and make masterpieces that keep getting better and better as they level up. Plus it helps that I love art so maybe that's why I took to this game so fast.

Lacking direction
I downloaded the game and really like it at first, but then I got to a point where what they wanted was just so tedious that the game was no longer fun. The concept and even the first few levels of game play were great, but it was all downhill from there.

Not what I hoped.
After the initial hour of play, I liked it. Unfortunately, after another hour, I was still waiting for something interesting to happen. There is a sort of plot and it was nice to tidy up the colony. (It always makes me feel better when a game lets me clean up something.) Still, in spite of it's very nice graphics, there isn't much reason to keep playing.

More so Adventure than TM
Really liked the game, great storyline, great video art. Can improve on gameplay as mentioned it's repetitive, also a few minor bugs with the sound but nothing really stands out as a problem.
Overall an interesting game and looking forward to what this company somes up with next

Ok game, but boring
I didn't mind the game, but it didn't really catch my interest. I didn't really get past restoring the arch. I'm not a patient person, so this game was boring for me.

Boring
I bought this thinking it would be more like the Tribe games but much to my dismay,it turned out to be a poor quality game.The area in which this all takes place is not a very large track of land.You get to do the same things over and over..dropping the artists where you want them and that was hard because you could not really see where you were taking them because of how the board was laid out.I grew tired of cleaning the debris every minute ...just a boring and repetitive game not worth playing more than once if even that.
