They're not paintings, these are pictures with brightness and saturation fucked to the max with an outline filter. These kind of projects make me wish Patreon had some kind of quality control.
That's not quite right. If you don't like it just don't support it, like anyone else does.

Have you tried turning the brightness down? Or do you think I should just do that with all the pics?
If you are asking my opinion i'd just drop the saturation and brightness by 25%, but still i like the retro feel. Reminds me a lot of the old DOS games. I tried dropping the stats on my machine, but it's kinda hard with a 4k screen. Again this is a personal opinion and shouldn't be misconstrued as me bashing in any form.

But to be honest this is probably in the alpha stages so up is the only way to go, right?

It's my impression after seeing preview. I have not seen the content yet, so I do not know if the whole is the same

I would love to have two experts to improve the early stages:
- Someone good with visual arts
- An expert in Trump-style speaking

These are not classes in art history and is not about the exact definition of what is and what is not an image. I just do not want to constantly use the word graphics.

Watch fox news a bunch, you'll pick it up as they have tons of his supporters on there. You could also just look up his twitter account, no better way to pick up someone's speaking than going straight to the source.. Only problem is that the audience for this probably think trump is allready entertaining so it'll be like trying to upstage SNL or some other comedy act.

My suggestions would to do research on similar art that you wish to create. This is a great place to meet up with various artists and creators. For the second half, that should be researched on non-biased sites, unless you are looking for a parody of Trump's speaking style. Politics are heavily opinionated, so a straight answer will be are on the harder side.

If you use real porn pics, NEVER fuck with them. It just messes with people's expectations of how things are supposed to look and has no benefits from a copyright standpoint.

I looked at the Download size, and saw how small it was, and said, what the hell why not....

Okay... it's very badly done so far. Here is my constructive criticism.

The concept is not a bad one by any means. In fact it is a good idea for a parody adult game. Here is what I found wrong with it.

1) Serious need of proofreading. Bad spelling, and punctuation especially the over use of the exclamation point. For instance it says "Good morning secretary!" Not something to be exclaimed...

2) The words Trump speaks are not ones he would be likely to say. "Just write Mr President with bad handwriting on all of them!" Even if Trump does have bad hand writing, and he passes this off to his secretary for some reason... he would say something like "Write Mr. President with great hand writing, just like mine, on all of them." Trump is not really one to use self deprecation, and is known to be a braggart.

3) The art is virtually non existent. These strange colors created by bad photo shop filters is just awful. There are a total of 9 images, 3 of which are backgrounds. It would be less awful on the eyes if they just made it gray scale...

4) Trump sounds like a numbskull ghetto rat at times... saying stuff like; "If all goes well, this shit gon be real fun..." That's NOT how Trump has ever talked... If he were to express the same sentiment it would go something like "All will go well as expected. This will be great." Trump never uses "if" in ANY of his plans... It's a certainty. No "if"s! He does not ever speak with any doubts, right or wrong. If is a doubtful word, and trump is not a doubtful person when speaking of himself, or his plans.

5) Trump is way too much of an asshole to be believable when talking to his wife, especially in front of his daughter.

6) The concept of Trump having some sort of boss whose ass he kisses is laughable. As is the concept of him being some sort of secret agent, or spy. Has anyone ever seen Trump kiss anyone's ass?

7) The time frame of it being the start of his 2nd term is not necessary, and rather anti-climactic from a storytellers perspective. It would have made FAR more sense to set the time frame at the start of the next election cycle. That could be a story. Does he do something sleazy with a whore on the campaign trail, or is he good boy? Does he dig for dirt on his opponents, what does he find? Does he make some outrageous statements at a rally? There are way more possibilities along this storyline where as he could get re-elected or ridiculed.

8) It lacks options. The simple choice of blowing off meeting the wife, and daughter ends the game... Perhaps a better option here would have been: Greet the wife, and daughter gracefully, or with rudeness.

9) Lack of content, very short, and what's there is shit.

10) It's lacking in all areas.

"Ass kissing" Like many other things are done in private, not where people can "see" it.

Just a friendly advice, I admit that this game is like a big trap.. very tempting. So please remember to not talk about politics or the real president of USA here.
