We are currently doing our first -50% off sale, so the best time to recommend Artist Life Simulator to a good friend is today. Thank you! This update rebalances (and fixes) numerous chances and stats across the game. There is no greater pattern of increased/reduced difficulty.

Next up, there's some important reworks still to be made for the upgrade tree. Hopefully we can tell you more next…
We are enjoying polishing the game and adding interesting detail. Artist Life Sim is designed to be a fairly challenging roguelite that will result in defeat (or death) if the player is not masterful in balancing their key stats such as health, sanity, wealth and passion. That’s why the game has 10 different defeats and 7 different victories, and that’s why we will keep expanding the features t…
