Just found out RS2 2 is in the works, and I couldn't be happier for anyone who hasn't seen it @Markconfirmed it on Facebook while we have no release date he shared a ss and said the game will be on steam and I'm so happy I really hope the charts are fair in this game as it is probably the biggest part of gameplay for me and it sort of ruins the fun when my artist drop from #1 for no reason to never return there... i wish for consistency with #1 lengths and realistic jumps on charts and ways to promote a song to benefit a chart position i hope all of you are well and hopefully this forum is back up and running for the release of R2S 2!

Dear Road 2 Success, I hope this email finds you well. My name is Toon M., and I am an aspiring game developer. I have been greatly inspired by the remarkable games created by Road 2 Success, and I am interested in collaborating with you on a project to develop a clean UI game for the Steam platform using Unity. My vision is to create a game that combines Road 2 Success's expertise with my skills in game development and UI design, resulting in an immersive and captivating experience for players. I propose implementing your technology into the game's UI while ensuring a clean and user-friendly interface. In terms of collaboration, I am open to discussing either a royalty split or an upfront payment. Personally, I prefer a royalty split as it aligns our interests for long-term success. I would appreciate your input on the royalty percentage or the upfront payment amount you believe would be fair and reasonable. I am excited about the potential of working together and believe that our combined efforts could lead to a remarkable game. I would be happy to provide a comprehensive proposal outlining the game's concept, development timeline, and further details to facilitate our collaboration. Thank you for considering this opportunity. I look forward to discussing the project and collaborating with Road 2 Success. Please let me know your thoughts and if there is a convenient time for us to connect and explore this further. Best regards, Toon M. tmonnens@outlook.com

Here's what i want/suggest for the new R2S - Singles/Albums than can reach 10m copies in US (certified diamond) - Ability to cancel tour dates - Tour legs (ex. Asian leg, North American leg, European leg) - Vegas Residency - More tour dates (maximum 150) - Higher Tour ticket price - Promotion's impact on charts for singles/albums(bigger promotions = higher charting) - Being able to submit artists/songs/albums for awards - Best Selling Artist list (yearly and of all Time) The current game is great but i am excited for the release of R2S 2. Will definitely support it on steam.

Seconding deluxe albums, special editions, remixing sonsg, leaked songs, and non-single videos. Explicit vs. clean would be cool if it automatically applied the "Explicit" sticker in the corner of CD covers with the toggle of a button. Might also be fun to do visual albums, concert films and documentaries, a la Eras Tour film or Beyonce's Renaissance film. Stage names would be super sick. Cancelling or delaying the release of an album if you decide the rollout isn't going to your liking. Joint albums and tours for artists on your label could also be cool.

35. Be Able To Hold Worldwide Auditions

where is he needs to keep updated unless we get a shock drop as heard servers where nearly hacked so hopeful he could be back soon 🙂

I hope this game has not been abandoned as feel could someone not take over and keep this game active? As the potential is massive, if Mark does not come back could someone not take the reigns and continue it as I play it, and find this has mega potential in so many ways.

Anyone still got the file for this mod? Links dont work

I would love to see the songwriting feature be expanded a little. I think one way to do this is letting us pitch songs to specific artists. For example, my artist tries to sell demos to Ariana Grande. But she rejects them because she says they’re not her style she wants to record. But then I pitch a song to Little Mix and they release it. And then other songs I pitched to Ariana, I can sell to a catalog (where just any artist can buy off off the “Buy Songs” tab, like the way it is now) I’ve also noticed that artists that buy my artist’s songs usually don’t release them at all? I would love to see a tab where you can see the stats of sold demos, along with seeing them in the artist’s singles / album tracks. Also, in the email that announces an artist buys a song I put up for sale, I would like to see which artist of mine had written the song to begin with. I can’t remember if I suggested this before, but I would love a “multi-select” tool for the song database. This way, I can select more than one song to sell at a time (and possibly pitch multiple songs to one artist, where they may buy some of the songs I pitch to them). Another feature I would like to see is leaked music. For example, if I have poor staff, my artists’ music may leak online before release. And I get an email with my staff letting me know about it. Even if I have a really good staff, I would still like to see, every now and then, a single or even an album that gets leaked before release. And possibly having some features to respond to the leak, such as canceling the release, pushing up the release, or trying to get the leaked music removed from the internet.

I think probably along with most on here Deluxe albums would take this game to a whole bigger step. Could it be done like the same function as greatest hits? because you can add new songs on greatest hits what's not already on any albums? Most albums these days are released then down the line you get songs from them what has a new feature on it. Example Little Mix - Confetti was the original song on the first album then on the deluxe album (expanded as they've called it) its now Little Mix - Confetti ft Saweetie. As addictive the game is already I think adding this new feature would make it even more addictive. Obviously I think this feature would only unlock to an album if it was to firstly reach lets say gold or platinum in sales at first? Thank You

Chart Wars introduced me to these games. It had bugs too. I'd always get far into a playthrough and my game would stop simulating. It drove me nuts. Eventually, Rob left and never looked back. It was my favorite until I discovered Music Wars. The original version of the game is amazing. It's easy to understand and the layout is interesting. The sequel added some improvements but changed what I loved about the original. It had bugs, but the game was playable. Most of those bugs carried over to the last game in the series. It's the best one by far. There are some interesting features in it I wish Mark would implement into R2S. Unfortunately, after playing it for an hour or two, the game will freeze on a loading screen or crash. Trust me, R2S is the best of both worlds. 1.1 and 1.2 are legendary! I enjoy 1.3 even with the bugs. Why? The amount of features Mark packed into this game is amazing. I don't think it'll be topped any time soon. If there's one thing I know, Mark will be back. He always comes back. Lurking for the past five years has taught me that.

I do want to implement something like this so mods are more fun. When I have a moment to think about it ill see if I can add somehing into 1.3 but if not the next release. Some good data there thanks.

Just one thing to point out I will not add suicide to the game ever.

The slayage!!!! I cant

In the future I will look into a real time editor its just not top of my list but I do feel it wont require too much work. Lets get 1.3 out first.

when I want a underperforming single, I don't release physics, I invest in radio stations and only make it available on iTunes that way I managed to make real life hits giants, and not be eclipsed by singles that didn't perform as well
