Winning a Battle of the Bands competition is a good way to raise it as well (by +2 or +3 usually.) And those can happen in the 200-700 type venues as well. Yeah, after reading this topic, I paid attention to it the last few hours, and the drinking or talent scout thing triggering +1 popularity does only seem to happen in smaller venues.

(Cool game by the way, been hooked on it for a few days now.) Perhaps this has made my popularity a bit artificially high for a 1 year old band without any CD released, compared to if I had started in the USA with only 8-10ish cities within a 1 day drive, rather than 25+?Īnyway, I assume it's an issue which will probably sort itself out once my band members level up a bit more, so perhaps it's not exactly a problem that needs a lot of sorting out, but since this is a test version, I figured I'd type it out, perhaps there's some helpful info in there. A factor there is that I started this game in Western Europe, with lots of cities within driving distance around me, and I've been doing plenty of local gigs in France, Belgium, Luxembourg, The Netherlands and Germany. I don't remember my popularity in my previous game, but I'm assuming it wasn't quite this high at this stage, almost a year in. But I don't know if that's plain old bad luck or if that was a programming tweak. What's not an impression is that I'm definitely getting lower quality puzzle pieces than I was getting at this stage in my non-pre game. I only have one 18 month game on non-pre-live to compare to, but leveling up seems to have been slowed down a little in this new version? That may be just an impression though. If that's the case, perhaps this balance needs some tweaking. I didn't record an independent CD (yet) and waited until my guys could handle quality 30+ songs before asking for a record deal, which was maybe May or June, but then the only contracts offered were qual.70.Ī bit of guesswork at what's behind the issue here:Īm I right in assuming that the level of record deal offered is tied to popularity, rather than to the musician's skills? That would seem to be the logical conclusion when looking at my numbers here. 06, but the issue has been the same for a while. There's no way we can fulfill that at the moment.

The record contracts offered are a mix between qual. The highest riff/melody etc puzzle piece I've gotten was a 17, the highest lyrics piece a 7. I have music writers at skill 65 and 84, and a lyrics writer at skill 55. The record contracts offered to me are too high for the skill levels of my songwriters.
