    Oh, hi @Mark, how's it going?!
    I wanna ask somethings people may have asked before, but I just want to clear them up, if it's ok with you.
    English is not my first language so I struggle with some options in the Editor, could you please tell me what they mean and how they affect the gameplay?

    Country Info:

    1 - What growth is it reffering to, population or sales? How can it affect the gameplay?
    2 - Does 5 mean more piracy or less?
    3 - What does it mean, Max single sales/Album sales? How does it affect the game?
    4 - What does it mean Single Streams for sale/Album track and how does it affect the game?

    Artist creation:

    Legend
    Artist current rating
    Superstar
    How do these work and how do they affect the gameplay?

    General question:

    Is there a way we could tweak the sales/streams up or down in the editor or is it hard codded in the game?

    Thank you so much for the game, you're the man!

     

     

    To answer each point.

    Country Info:

    1. This is referring to population growth.
    2. Good point its not clear at all. 5 being the best. I will add some text to state that in the editor.
    3. Its used in the sales code to a degree.
    4. Used to some degree for streaming code. I dont recommend tweaking it.

    Artist creation:

    1. This is when it can be unlocked as a legend with points.
    2. These are used as potential ratings to limit stat increases over time.
    3. Not used as much as id like but indicates to the game they are a natural talent.

    General question:

    You can tweak the max numbers but I am not supporting that so much, I only added to the editor for me. You can tweak them and it shouldnt break stuff it will just affect the numbers.

  2. 2.0 is already in the works, like 0.01% done. I am redesigning the interface to hopefully allow multiple languages and just a better look etc. However most of my time is figuring out these issues that are coming up mainly due to how people play its really quite a learning exercise.

    I am looking to release a future version on steam and I am looking at paid version however it must be certain criteria. Even if it ends up being a free version it will end up on steam as well as it better supports updating etc.

  3. What are you searching as it is working for me on a couple of tests on peoples saves. It might be something you're searching for is creating an error so if you can tell me ill test.

    Let me add something Mark, this is also connected to the disappearing artist thing..When you sent me the new .exe I probably applied it to an already existing save from the previous version and yesterday, when I auditioned a new artist, the issue occured again. Now I started a new game completely from the test .exe you sent me. Could this mean something?

    Maybe its so hard to know. Have you had the disappearing artist problem since a new save in the new exe?

  5. I think ive sorted it, not totally sure as I wasnt hitting. What I have done is added a new routine to remove duplicates. You might need to load, let back catalogue, save then reload to have the duplicate routine to take effect.

    This is for next patch I hope to have out tomorrow.

    Would like to see something like:

    1x Bassist 1x Piano 1x Guitar (like clean bandit) so i can simulate having a feature artist on every song 👍🤣🤣

    Not sure if this would break stuff to be honest hmm

    Is there any way to downgrade my version? I was very happy with my game on version .921 but ever since updating I've stopped playing it because it's very agitating to spend hundreds of hours working on your label and artists' and have to start over. I was ok with starting over when moving to version 1.3 but now I just don't want to keep restarting every time. 

    There have been some issues where I cannot fix historical data, all I can do is fix it sorry.

    You can however download back to that version if you really wish to. I am not sure if the data structure will allow it but you can try. You can get it here.
