New save!

[Jord]

I apologize for the crosspost but I think this one deserves its own thread. It's much more fun than the other save I think.

 

NEW SAVE!

The label's reputation is 50 everywhere.

Artists:

Drew Goodman (Hip-hop): Rapper/DJ, One Hit Wonder, born in LA, 20 years old.

stats and reputations imported from Bruce Springsteen:

 

But he's a one hit wonder so we will see how that plays out.

 

I'm still curious how a country singer will work so here we have:

Jessie Parker (Country): Singer/Guitarist, born in Tulsa, 22 years old.

These are her abilities:

 

So she is professional and cute, patient and charismatic and responsible. But she isn't great at making music.

And she starts with 1 reputation everywhere.

 

I would like to add a band but I'm too lazy for to create like four people plus a band profile for it so I'm going to stick with solo artists.
 

But let's do a rocker:
 

Jason Jones (Rock/Pop Rock): Singer/Guitarist, born in Indianapolis, 34 years old.

50 reputation in USA, 35 in European countries and Canada, 20 in the rest.

Here's his profile:

 

So he's really a good musician.

 

And then a DJ:

D.J. Jurgen (Techno/Drum & Bass, EDM): DJ, born in Bremen, Germany, 19 years old.

Starts with 1 reputation everywhere.


Hozier (Indie):

Low reputation mostly everywhere.


Jennifer Hudson (R&B, Soul, Pop):

Great recording and live ability! Decent rep in the UK and Africa and Australia, but only 13 in the USA. 

 

Bruno Mars (R&B/Pop):

 

Anouk (Indie):

Dutch singer, 45 years old, kind of alternative. Very famous in Holland and Belgium (also here in the game), not much outside of it.

 

Danny Vera (Country/Rock/Blues) but blues isn't in the game...

 

Reputation of 60 in the Netherlands, 25 in Belgium, 20 in Germany, 1 elsewhere.

 

Warren Ziggy (Reggae): Singer/Keyboard, 26 years old from Jamaica.

Great artist with a great personality. But he only makes reggae. Maybe a little bit of indie. I don't know yet.

Reputation in Jamaica is 20, 5 in Africa and 1 in the rest of the world.

 

Beck (Indie/Country/Soul):

 

Rep is around 25 worldwide.

 

Jeff Francis (Punk): Singer/Guitarist, 23 years old from Seattle.

Strength of genres:

Hip-Hop: 40

Rap: 36

Country: 32

Rock: 34

Pop Rock: 35

Techno: 24

Drum & Bass: 20

Dance (EDM): 37

Indie: 33

R&B: 38

Soul: 25

Pop: 40

Reggae: 12

Punk: 15

 

Game played on level hard. Start date 01/01/2021.

I started with $50,000,000 so I can produce whatever and don't have to worry about production/promotion/distribution.

It's mainly a save to test out reputation and different genres.

 

Thanks for reading/following!

I love playing with multiple artists but it is a lot of work. 

 

Sent them all on 20 day writing sessions except the DJ. He's mixing.

 

Hired 5 excellent staff for every department and optimized the working conditions in the office.

[Jord]

Danny Vera has been asked as a spokesperson for London Pride lol.

And Beck for Pride in two cities.

It's 8 February on the game and only Bruno Mars has returned from his writing session (he wrote some bangers).

I wonder if it's a bug or because I am playing on level hard.

Writing sessions are supposed to last 20 days it's been like 38 days now since they started.

[Jord]

The writing sessions take extremely long.

Bruno Mars was done after 21 days or so.

Jennifer Hudson after 61 days.

It is now March 23rd in the game and Anouk just finished her writing session. That's 81 days.

She wrote 16 songs though!

[Jord]

I'm letting Anouk produce an album. 

The vocal producers available are all shitty:

So I'm not hiring one.

[Jord]

Screw playing on hard and 20 day writing sessions that take over 120 days. So I restarted on Normal.

 

I started with sending all on writing sessions again. Some on mixing sessions (to see what it does).

 

The same thing happened. I'm starting to think it's because I sent them all to the same studio.

 

 

 

[Jord]

Hmm. Jennifer Hudson's writer came back 12 February with 19 songs.

[Jord]

Re-start!!!

Game: Hard

But don't get too excited... sigh. Because they still can't write simultaneously, even though I sent them all to different studios.

I'm waiting for the bug be resolved before picking this one up. I'll be doing a new test save soon in my other thread.
