Small Update (v1.071)

[Painters Guild]

This is the first post-release Painters Guild update, bringing bug fixes, balance changes and minor new features.

List of changes:

-You can now drag painters from their portraits in the bottom left of the screen. If you ever lose a painter of sight, just click the portrait, hold and drag the painter out of it.

-Fixed a bug where painters would sometimes not return from Great Works or travels. Should this persist, use the new "drag from portrait" feature to retrieve your painters.

-The starting painter is now a journeyman (rank 2) instead of master (rank 3). This allows the artist to paint a masterpiece.

-Changed "Perfection" Great Work result description text from "double" to "extra". The value was 20%, not double, and the text was incorrect.

-Illness happens less often, is less contagious, less deadly and there is now an event that explains it when your first painter gets sick.

-Doctor cost reduced from 200 to 150 (in the event where you can try to save your painter from death).

-The final message in 1620 now shows a highscore and your previous highest score. We are working on improving this further in next updates with a more complex score system and more detailed score screen.

-More clients spawn in the late game to make it gradually harder. Start a new game for full effect.

Thanks!

Great update, but noticed that some bugs appeared after this update, for example, if I go back to a old game, I have to save it and load it again, so I can put a painter in place of another painter that was either painting or resting or even mixing paints.
Another bug I found was a client would be waiting for a paint, but I already completed it, he just stay there until I save the game and load it again.
And sometimes the icon of message doesn't disappear, and again, I have to save it and load it again.

yes I've found that too, Aleh. It doesnt happen constantly but it does sometimes. The envelope will stay over a painters head after it's been read for instance. And yes, i've also experienced the swapping bug and no text info on candidates when that pops up. A quick reboot usually fixes it but it's good to note.

With me it's happening everytime I open the game. It's starting to get a little frustrating.

If i have no money to pay travel expences at the moment it pops up, can I somehow pay them later?

[Painters Guild]

Sorry about the issues you found, we'll do our best to fix them in the upcoming update.

You can pay for travel later by buying a travel kit from the furniture menu and using it.

Yes you can buy the travel bag in the little store at the top and go whenever you'd like by dragging the painter to it when you're ready.

The Grammar Nazi inside of me ponders the absence of an apostrophe in the game's title. Shouldn't it be "Painters' Guild", since the guild is a possession of the painters? Hmm.

There are some bugs that i found after playing the game with save/load fuction.
1. After loading the game, some functions become unavailable.
(Eg. making master pieces, selecting painters to hire other painters)
1.1 After loading, the people who request for the paint is still there

This tiny update has come like a miracle and has ''Gone with the Wind''...
