[CASINO] Art items: like statues, paintings, ... with special benefits
Have art items like statues, paintings (for on casino wall),...
These have a slow rise or decline in popularity. And value changes accordingly. So this will make it a "surprise" item.
Example:
-Generic statue of an unknown artist selling at 500 chips. After you bought it it can go up or down in popularity and thus changing value to for example 1000 chips or 50 chips. The lesser "known" the artist the more fluctuating it can be, where a "known" artist piece will be less volatile and more expensive to begin with.
This opens up the possibility to have art shops where you can buy and sell items.
Code wise, this could work something along the lines of stocks?

We are actually planning an art marketplace, which I think is close to what you are describing. However, the point where I think it might differ is that wall art would be created and sold by players, so that the more popular art would generate revenue for the artist (player). Thanks!

Originally I was thinking people could make "art" themselves and sell it like you mention. Then I figured it must be too hard to code in and still keep it balanced.
If I understand you correctly you mean to say selling of item would be static, but popular player artist can earn more as he sells more of the same item?
It would be nice from a buyers perspective for having added benefits for buying such items. Which would open up a new way of game play. But you could use an algorithm taking into account total pieces sold by artist and total of that specific item being sold in order to calculate current value.
