Artist Colony is a simulation game developed by Big Fish Studios and released in 2010 for PC and iOS. Set in a once-flourishing creative community that has fallen into decline, the game centers on rebuilding an artist colony by renovating its environment and attracting new residents. Players recruit and develop a roster of creative figures — including painters, dancers, and musicians — guiding them toward mastery of their respective crafts. The core gameplay loop involves producing works of art and performances, then selling them to generate resources for further development of the colony. Progress depends on managing the community's growth while maintaining an environment appealing enough to draw in fresh talent. The game combines light resource management with sim-style progression across its creative setting.
