Anyone figured out what AI NPC buys what paintings?

[Setari]

I figured out that the AI sees a few things about your art:

A: The colors

B: The time you spent on the piece

and C: If it depicts something other than a bunch of scribbles.

In the beginning the punk rock people with spiky hair will buy scribbles made with the middle colors of red, green, blue, purple etc as long as they're bright.

The old dudes will buy pieces that you put a lot of time into and if they depict something.

The hipsters (mimes w/ baguettes) will buy the same pieces as the punk rockers but will stop buying your stuff after a certain point after you become "mainstream" and will just walk around and criticize your stuff.

Other than that in the second part of the game I really can't figure it out for the other NPCs.

The game is really fun though, bug free and an interesting look at artists, if satirical.

===Act 1===

Punk-Rock Idiots: Just scribble vibrant colors like mad.

Old Farts: Draw anything that looks visually coherent.

Hipsters: Ignore them; they're pointless.


===Act 2a (Old Fart Continuation)===

Stuck-Up Umbrella Twirlers (Realists): Stuff with elaborate shading and detail.

Trump Look-a-likes (Designers): Simple shapes and lines.


===Act2b (Punk-Rock Continuation)===

Nerds (Expressionists): Same as Punk-Rock Idiots.

Creepy Dudes (Minimalists): Extremely simple things with lots of negative space.



Every group is pretty easy to master, with the exception of the minimalists. Due to the simplicity of the paintings that they like, they tend to assume that everything you draw is unoriginal. This is a design flaw that the developer didn't foresee, and it is extremely difficult to work around it at this point in time.

Creepy Minimalist: "Haven't I seen this painting before?"

Me: "NO! You haven't ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ seen this painting before! It's completely different than anything I've ever drawn, and you thinking otherwise is an embarrassment to the art community. You are hereby banned from stepping foot in my gallery, and failure to abide by this ban will result in me shooting you in the face repeatedly until you resemble one of my less popular 'expressionist' paintings. ♥♥♥♥ you, get out, and kill yourself ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥."

May I ask you post some screens under each, so I can see what you mean by that.

these are examples of painting that got me to the rich ending:

Putting more and longer effort in them near the end.

Played quickly on a friend copy, I made a french flag with an overlaid green crescent and called it "La France de demain" and it sold for over 2000...

Unless I am mistaken the names of the painting also seem to have some kind of weight; I made a thematic serie of 3 paintings and while the first and second one were just sitting there, all the critics said that they sucked... but as soon as I put down the third in the set down all 3 sold for a big bunch (I think it was Martin who bought them) it was named something like "Premierement...", "Deuxiemement...", "Finalement.", A painting of a hot-dog interested no one, until I put down one called "Not Hot-Dog" next to it (with a pie on it) and again both sold instantly for a bunch.

A painting named Camembert with a quick drawing of a slice of said cheese sold for a small fortune.

A painting of a pig with a beard called "Muhammed" sat there for a long long time, with everybody going "Too provocative" "How shocking!" etc, the critic reviewed it and gave me a splendid review tho ^^. Kindda lame that all unsold painting disapeer when changing act, this one was going to stay up on the wall forever.

Martin will buy anything that look like a ♥♥♥♥ or an anus in an heartbeat.
