My personal experience

OK, so I just noticed recently how they put everything behind a paywall that you used to be able to do for free. That’s never a good look.. also I’m sorry is the app coded with AI? I’m not trying to be rude, but every single thing you do is so glitchy and sometimes the numbers on how much you make from your brain doesn’t make sense. I’m a multi trillionaire at 25 and I just felt like it was way too easy to get so rich off your brand. I feel like a lot of the features don’t even work and I’m pretty sure the app is just cut from AI so that’s why everything is just not working properly. It’s a great idea for a game. I just wish there could be some improvements before putting everything behind a paywall.

What happened?

No words because this game truly isn’t worth any, it used to be amazing. Whatever updates have been added to make the game hyper realistic and make it insanely difficult to succeed are awful. Don’t bother buying premium either because it just makes the game worse while taking 12$!

Rating

I really like to play this game so much so many months. But i paused playing it because if always broke down at like 10-30 minutes into the game. Would be great of u to fix that quitting errors. To fix the bug. Because i also payed a lot of real money to have everything in this game. Thx. But great gameplay

good but some suggestions

I really love this game, I love how you can feature with actual artists, hold your own festival, own a brand, be an actor, etc. but a few things you should change are-

1. fix the festival payout
yes, I do love when I get paid more than what I was promised but once you're over 1 million or 100 million, (I forgot) the (number) thousand the festival is supposed to pay you is extremely increased. say you had 100M, and the festival payout was 25k, you would actually get 25M. and I know I seem like the fun police but I would like more realism in this game.

2. soul train awards
when I generate an event and get a nomination for soul train, every week until the week of the ceremony I keep getting the same notification in the mail from soul train, and I know I could ignore it but I have ocd, and clearing the mail is a bit much for me.

3. actor payout
when I work as an actor, I've realized that I don't get paid the money I was promised, so I have to rely on another career I have or just get a job.

4. brand payout
whenever you go to open a brand like fashion, makeup, household, etc., you can choose to market your brand but the thing is, even with ONE promotion, you product sells like crazy, like unrealistic crazy, and like I've said before I want realism.

5. merch options
I love being able to make merch and stuff but please add things like vinyls, CD's, cassettes and digital downloads to the game. it'd make it more fun and aesthetic.

6. tour for another artist
I always see on the game's version of Twitter (𝕏) that artists ar opening for other artists, and I want that to be a thing for the ticket king app, like where we can scroll down and see if we match the requirements to open or tour with the selected artist.

7. billboard artist 100
I like that I only have to release 2 albums to get to number 1 on the artist 100 as a person who has the premium and constantly plays as established artist, but please make it harder to break into the artist 100! I would like a challenge-- and yes, I know I'm already an established artist but you still have less fans than some of the bigger artists like Rihanna (100M) or Taylor swift (also 100M) an you're beginning at 40M

8. kids (last one)
in this game, you have th choice to start dating someone, but I want it to be more that that! yes, this game is about being a pop star but I also want to continue a dynasty by having kids, if this ever happens also make it to where if you have more kids, the money gets split among them more. so like if you have 10M with 5 kids, you would inherit one of their lives with 2M as a start. also if this ever happens, make it eligible to play as them once they turn 7, since that's the youngest you can start a new save with

thank you!
