[Current confirmed features for 1.2]

Is it possible also that we could restock singles & albums when they are back cataloged because I don't want a inventory of zero when it could be selling some more.

 

This will be taken care of as part of the re-release feature.

[Current confirmed features for 1.2]

I mean when we give the artist a deal. The tour rate we give them is only from 80-100 percent. While other labels could give less. I saw one artist with 30 percent tour rate then the rest of the profits go to the label.

 

Then thats a bug. Ill look when i get a chance.

[Taylor swift album sold 1.2 million thats crazy]

Its like old school release, she is one very rich women i believe all her albums have sold over 10m copes, which is crazy. Rolling stone magazine love her its quite disgusting in a way.

 

Thats not saying i dont like her btw.

 

I'll try the album later on google music.

What rates? Costs are default depending on region your touring

[Current confirmed features for 1.2]

Can the Marketing staff be in charge of booking promotions so we don't have to book each show one by one? Like have the team determine the amount of promotion needed to gain reputation.

 

This is being explored

 

Ability to ask staff to take control of some of your artists, arranging releases etc etc - Added to list 20th October

[Countrylist/Continent for 1.2]

Some features wont be announced beforehand they will be suprises btw.

[Countrylist/Continent for 1.2]

Africa added to list

[Countrylist/Continent for 1.2]

I am seriously considering the voice and whether to include it. Of course I learnt a lot which can apply but the structure of the show is different so still big task but its staying on the to do list but ill move past 1.2 first. I wont be making the 1.2 list however.

[Countrylist/Continent for 1.2]

It very much is. I am currently adding the countries as I have to manually enter a lot of data but ive done 3 continents. Ive done 50% of the interface revamp as well so its making progress.

 

Once the countries have been fully integrated into the current game ill know better but its certainly very ambitious but its not tedious like Xfactor was. Also ive got 3 weeks off week in december so expect good progress.

 

I'll be more frequent with updates on this one as I plan on a drive on social media and also other methods including finally submitting the game to reviewers so its a big release.

 

I will need some dedicated testers once the alpha starts as there is likely to be many problems to fix.

 

Also note im still patching 1.1.1.0 so that doesnt help but hopefully that will calm down.

[Countrylist/Continent for 1.2]

Oops forgot to post that bit. Africa is included but is smaller than it should do to poor governments.

[Countrylist/Continent for 1.2]

Below is a big list of countries that are being brought into the game. Its subject to change but its a pretty big list. I have removed a number due to previous reasons given and may well remove more but this is what im current programming in.

 

Some countries are split between Asia and Europe, I have put Russia into Asia and the same with Turkey, some might not like this but this is the final decision. I do not identify with Russia or Turkey being part of Europe, even if geographically they are partly, I personally identify them more on the Asian continent/Middle Eastern area.

 

Also there is no space for any country that is governed by another, which is fine as typically they're very small anyway.

I am looking at staffing options but i dont want too much crammed in.

 

We're getting near to the final list now

[Current confirmed features for 1.2]

1.2 cannot be everything or it will takes months. so once 1.2 is done you will see patches like

 

1.2.1

1.2.2 etc

 

these will contain nothing but all your suggested features, nothing from me.

[Current confirmed features for 1.2]

The reason its not updated is i have to check what id need to do and if i could get this update out far quicker than the last 1. I dont want a six month waiting period.

[Current confirmed features for 1.2]

I adjusted the costs of writers and producers very last minute for this release. I can add more but id like people to make mods for this.

[Current confirmed features for 1.2]

I will be updating the list again later fyi

[Current confirmed features for 1.2]

I am reading all your ideas btw im just working so cannot do a lot at the moment. I will be updating the confirmed feature list later.

 

Just a fyi.

 

When 1.2 is done there will be a series of smaller community patches which only contain user suggested features so if they dont make 1.2 there is a good chance past this.

[Current confirmed features for 1.2]

I would like to see how much money we spent on the artist to see how much needs to be recouped back to us.

 

This sounds interesting

[Current confirmed features for 1.2]

What about firing and retired band members? Then the ability to sign another for the position?

 

Is that really going to be a labels job?

[Suggestions]

I am going to reply to each point a bit later, im just getting ready to have a sleep before I do a night shift.

 

Email side has been improved so filters are in 1.1.1.0 fyi though

[Suggestions for 1.2]

Artists can become judges in 1.1.1.0 and get salaries fyi

[Current confirmed features for 1.2]

I think that is great the Level of Awards (according to genre, for example to get a gold award for latin genre is easier than a other genre).

The option to re-release a album, EP, deluxe, Remixes, Double Disc.

Magazines (and the magazine choose the artist)

Facebook and Twitter page of artists (likes and followers based on popularity)

 

Re-releases should be in too.

Magazines its interesting will look into this.

Facebook and twitter...I did have a full integrated twitter feature but dropped it as it was pointless but I would like more social media stuff in the game, its just a matter of how at the moment.

[Current confirmed features for 1.2]

Let me do a bit of research on EP's and see if I can make those work

[Current confirmed features for 1.2]

Below is a list of features, which are already confirmed for Version 1.2.

 

I will add any further features until the cut off date, which will be 7th November 2014.

 

Current confirmed features

 

[*]All continents will be included. Confirmed as - North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia and Oceania

[*]Under each continent will be each country, and each one will have its own charts. This does not include countries governed by others. Countries that are extremely undemocratic such as North Korea, will not be included.

[*]The sales modules will be completely rewritten

[*]New revenue streams introduced, such as spotify type streaming services and revenue from video advertisements, IE youtube etc.

[*]Tours will be rewritten to allow the increase in tour dates and various other options.

[*]Music videos will be split from the current method, will have its own data set and as such will have video charts etc

[*]The ability to re-release albums - Added to list 20th October

[*]Ability to ask staff to take control of some of your artists, arranging releases etc etc - Added to list 20th October

[*]I will look into integrating 360

[Preparations for 1.2 begin!]

So I have talked a lot in the past about it and also said recently I would like to discuss the feature list for the next big version of the game, version 1.2 so here we are.

 

Use this forum to make your suggestions before the cut off date and use the forum there after to make any future suggestions.
