Artist Idle puts you in the role of a painter selling increasingly valuable artwork to build your reputation. You gradually unblur your pictures by collecting pixels and earning fame, with optional prestige resets tied to visa unlocks that gate new schools and features. It's a straightforward clicker loop best suited for players who enjoy slow progression and don't mind returning to earlier mechanics after each reset.

The saddest thing about this is that I played this on Kongregate and literally nothing has been changed since then. Almost 2 years and not even a new picture or a fix so you can see the skill screen whenever you like. You'd imagine that given the fact steam removes the need for browser sizing the developer would have improved the pictures. But no. Clearly too much effort
to even bother to update the game. Play it if you must. But the idea that anyone would spend money on this is laughable.

Actually there is one change. The pay to play has become even more ridiculously expensive.

Neat twist to the idle clicker game.

Pictures start off hugely pixelated and slowly unblur.

HiRez to get more unblur to progress.

Collect pixels to unblur faster.

No need to spam click.

I've pushed to get the moscow visa to unlock school, expecting an huge boost and new amazing features. Then i realised i need to pay 500 000$ to unlock school after that. The moscow visa made me start almost from scratch and i see the next visa cost 5 time less than the school cost, so i also realised that i'll need to reset my fame one or more additional time again until i get the new school features.
That's at this moment i decided to give up on the game.
The game is great, but if i need to spend 3 weeks on the game to unlock the first thing that could potentialy be a great boost (not even sure about that, it also can be really disapointing) it was to slow for me.

I would have done it if we get some starting money after each reset, so we can do it faster than the previous time. Still recommanding it tho, if you like to try idle games. But this one will not be the best idle game you ever played.
