This game is wildly ambitious. Although I love the idea, it does seem too much and these things are always balancing nightmares anyway. I really hope you try and do something with this in the future.

Definitely ambitious, and I think you have a good mindset about looking over how the weekend went. For me, pushing something out feels good, but I always get so much out of just trying something new within a time constraint. Glad you decided to post it as well, best of luck next time!
I really like the idea of managing a band! As you say yourself, the game feels fairly early on in development (if it were to be finished) so providing meaningful feedback is tough. I hope you were able to get something out of it either way and don't feel too disheartened that you weren't able to finish!
This is quite good! The map is a bit buggy if you zoom in or out to much, and moving it is a little jittery. I feel like a light drum beat, or some light background music would help keep the game interesting. I feel like a bit more user input would also help - such as clicking whilst on tour, or recording to improve interest? Overall it's prety good. Kudos on the uniqueness of the game!
Hats off for sharing
Like the others said the game is very ambitious. But i really enjoyed playing it for a bit and see the stats go up! I think as a full game i would be willing to return and play it for a longer time!
The idea is promising. However the balancing was a bit off, I ended up in 2012 with more money than Jeff Bezos and should propably named my band Metallica or something like that :-) The name generator is nice, too bad the map did not work in the end.
As you said yourself, the game lakes balancing and isn't finished yet. But the idea is great and a very unique way of interpreting the theme. It would have been nice, if their was more user intergration. At the meoment I am just clicking two buttons and watching my numbers go up.
ok i played the game until 2021 to see what happens. now im rich and famouse and able to buy a horse xD. And bad days often happens dude. Last year it was also my first time i did not finished my game :) Keep it up! Fo what you did so far i like it.
Really liked the Idea and the Randomly generated Names for the Songs. Thanks for sharing not only the Game but your experience, as well. Keep the good work up;)
Wildly inaccurate interpretation of the music industry ...in this game you can actually make money!! :wink: I enjoyed the game. The UI rendered a little strangely sometimes (maybe it's just my computer) but I seemed to still be able to play / understand what's going on.
