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 that increase replayability. The begging action is a skill that appears by itself during destitute poverty, and provides an additional chance for the player to postpone or escape being defeated by poverty. It can be used when talking with a friend or for begging in the city streets. It usually only resets the poverty timer, but sometimes a generous passerby can donate more than just pennies.
