Rennaissance Slavery

Ever wondered what is the secret of all the extraordinary rennaissance people with great skills in many areas?

The dark truth they don't teach you at school is that they were trading slaves with each other who created art and invented inventions for them, which then they published as theirs.

Concept prototype, progress after 2 hours.

Each slave has some skillset that says how fast he produces food, paintings, sculptures, music and inventions. You will be able to sell and buy your slaves based on which art forms you lack (as the final score will be geometric mean of amount in your art types), sometimes having exclusive limited-time offers from colleagues.

You will have to feed your slaves with food they produce. If you don't have enough, their HP starts to drop.

What do you think of the icons? Is it clear what each depicts?

I am also thinking of how to implement the dark theme. I don't think I can create dark atmosphere, so I guess it will end up with silly and fun look and feel. We'll see.
