Making Songs...

Okay, so at first I didn’t know how to make a song at all. I looked it up and learned the band members make them and you basically only make financial decisions. This is utterly boring. I would expect Mat to find some way to make it more playable. Then comes the problem with the band members making them; I don’t know if it’s only me, but the members begin pumping out songs like they drank 10 bottles of Mountain Dew and later on it seems like they just stop permanently. That leaves you with less money, which means it is harder to pay them, which means your stats go down, which means you don’t make as much money from concerts, which means you will eventually go back to the underground, which means if you get new members and somehow produce a song you probably won’t make the charts, which means you will have less money. And... Game Over. New Game. Repeat. Ect.

Please update

The game looks terrible on my phone due to lack of updates, I love this game and used to play it all the time, it’s extremely entertaining and all of your other games have me enthralled for hours. Popscene has so much potential that needs to be unleashed, it is one of your most appealing games that I feel has been ignored for quite some time! Wrestling Revolution is very fun but I really want something different and I’ve beat Super City as well as Extra Lives, I’ve beat just about all of your games and have bought the in-game items, I want to purchase the pass for this, and will once this receives an update, and like many other comments, your games would be so much better if you could buy things with the money you earn like you can in school days and hard time!

This game is Fun!

The only problem I see is the Margin. Like if I make $200 million dollars. My expenses go up high when I might only make $5-7 million dollars off album sales. I say instead if each song costing 1 dollar. Make it 2 dollars for a total of 20 dollars when we have all 10 songs (album) and also allow us to buy cars and houses maybe? But really I just wanna see change in the margin. It’s a nice fun game that teaches you business. No complaints here. Keep up the good work Mdickie@

Awesome Game but please update it!

This is a very fun game if your bored and stuff but like it’s too repetitive and needs some updates, hopefully you put all the suggestions I have one by one (take ur time): 1. Make a different chart for albums and singles 2. Allow for promo to affect a singles chart position 3. Instead of using sales for the chart positions for the singles, make a point system instead like from the billboard hot 100 charts, like points from streams, sales, radio spins, etc.. 4. Add a streaming service into this game 5. Add a radio service pls 6. Even if a artists is popular, (like 99 max) don’t have ALL their songs peak and debut at no. 1 like it’s frustrating add a challenge to affect a singles chart position or something. 7. Add certifications for a song and album.8. Let us send a single even if the album is already released. 9. Also make it possible to have a 1 to 3 million opening weekend if an artist have a strong connection with their fans. 10. Add social media websites into the game so we could promote to the fans and stuff 11. Also if my song didn’t chart in the top 10, I l would like to see all the songs on the chart like scroll down and stuff. 12. Last but not the least make it harder for an artist to make another era of their album be a success I surely want some challenges on the way or make my album deliberately flop..

Fixes

I’m a huge fan of all of your games! This one especially, but I feel like it has so much untapped potential, first off I feel like you should work on making a massive update to the game so that money is actually able to be spent on things like cars and such and you should transfer it from what it is now to a game set in a neighborhood or some kind of setting where like you can buy different houses and when you want to make a new song you can physically GO to your studio in the car that you BUY for yourself with your career earnings. Aside from that I wish you would fix the MP3 crashing issue because despite the game music being straight heat, I’d love to be able to use my own music. Thanks for taking the time out of your day to read this and I hope that you consider my proposals :)

Awesome Game, Chart System Needs Fixing

So this game is amazing and everything I’ve asked for, but the one thing that bothers me about the game is how screwy the charting system is. Like, how you can only have one single out at a time, the album chart being the same as the single chart, or how after an album is released you can’t release any more singles. I mean, it’s not the worst thing in the world, it’s just annoying when you want to have multiple songs in the top 10 or have a number one album AND number one single. Also, there should be like Gold and Platinum rewards and such. That’s all.

If your Questioning this game, GET IT!!!

This game is soooo fun, it makes the time go by really fast! It doesn't drain your phone battery life, which is good. Although this game is good it can be GREAT if there was more in depth than it already is. TIPS TO THE DEVELOPER(S) Add more places to preform. Add more drama. Add instructions in the beginning. Add more ways to get money (like Commercials, TV roles, Award Shows, merch, Etc.) Improve the Award show system. Improve the Talent show system. Improve the relationship system. Add a star ranking status. Add more in game music. Improve the group/ collaboration system. I have many more ideas, but I would like to keep it short. I love this game and I would be more than happy to recommend this game to friends and share the fun!

Popscene

I was asking if someone makes a diss song on us can we please write a song back? And also can we have guns and outside life instead of just making music too? I’d think that would be a great idea. And also can you allow us to make our own beats instead of the game picking us for them? And can you also put it as if when we go to court if we lose sometimes we go to jail or something like that and it goes in the magazines.

I LOVE IT !!

This IS AN AWESOME APP But it needs a serious Update I Have a lot of money in Game and there should be things you could Buy with that money Also Just like in the real music industry rappers not all the time make diss tracks they actually fight since Most of the games are fighting Games There should be a way you could settle your beef if instead of seeing who the best Is Between the two artist by preforming Songs they should just be able to fight. Also you should be able to have a girlfriend and ETC Buy clothing it’s a lot more that this great app can do and I know it is possible Thanks For the Great App Still playing All of your games in 2018 💯🔥❤️❤️

Add these features

I love this game and everything but I do like other people have something to say about this there should be collaboration in the music industry and there should also have music videos and shoot them with google images like take one out of a singers background also add touring and interviews also they should be doing shopping or celebrities just being outside and there’s crazy fans and paparazzi and other stuff like 15 or less songs you could have for a album and not have the people your working with decide what you have to do cause well it’s annoying so love you please do this and I’m your biggest fan :)

Description

Bring your music collection to life with animated performances as you embark on a career in the industry! Form your own band by recruiting talent from over 100 artists across 6 unique labels. Then record hits that will top the charts and take them on the road to over 20 different venues - complete with real reviews that scrutinize your strengths and weaknesses.

With an endless schedule of possibilities before you, and an ever-evolving industry to immerse yourself in, Popscene captures the highs and lows of music in the palm of your hand! * Please note that this game's use of MP3s may not be compatible with some devices. If this affects you, consider turning off MP3 music in the options. PLAYING GUIDE: Popscene divides the music making process into entertainment (represented by stars) and artistry (represented by hearts). As in real life, popular music is more likely to shoot up the charts and draw fans - but without substance, the success may be short-lived. Each of the game's many artists has the following attributes that influence this process: - POPULARITY is the artist's ability to draw fans to entertaining content. - REPUTATION is their ability to draw fans to artistic content. - PERFORMANCE is their ability to perform entertaining songs live. - TALENT is their ability to perform artistic songs live. - PRODUCTION is their ability to compose entertaining music. - WRITING is their ability to compose artistic music. - HAPPINESS is the pleasure they currently get from their work. - ATTITUDE indicates how likely they are to either contribute or cause trouble. Each week, depending on the size of your team and their collective attitude, new songs may be recorded. Each member of the team contributes their score to a new song, and whoever scores the highest will be credited with making it. Members who are dedicated backstage staff will contribute twice instead of once - increasing the chances of a good song being written. Once songs exist, it is the on-stage performers who must bring it to life. As with writing, each band member on stage contributes their score and the highest determines how well the song was received in each category. This time, it is the "frontman" who gets to contribute twice instead of once - so consider who is at the forefront. The overall rating for a show is the average of all the songs performed - albeit slightly more generous so that perfection is not required. This is also true of album reviews. A 5-star performance may consist of consistent 4-star contributions. Reviews are where your performances feed back into the stats that produced them, because each attribute will rise or fall to reflect what just happened. When booking venues, you must consider how much it will cost versus how much you are likely to recoup. Tickets are sold at $5 per song so it depends how long your set is. You will receive a percentage of this revenue, and must then use that to pay your employees and any other expenses. Singles are sold at $1 each whereas albums are sold at $1 per song for a maximum of $10. If you have a week of inactivity, you may find that you make a loss because of the expenses of your lifestyle (which reflects your wealth). I regret there is more to this game than I could ever explain here, so enjoy figuring some things out for yourself!
