About

You run a stage production company. You start with one wedding speaker in a village hall. You end up on a stadium tour, with drones, pyro and twelve trucks looking for a parking space. In between, there is the gear, the crew, and the cable. THE GEAR IS THE HERO 36 pieces of gear, from the village hall speaker to the 40-metre giant screen. Each one shows up on stage when you buy it, and each one has an opinion. The 12-channel console has one channel that crackles, nobody knows which. The LED wall has a dead pixel. It became the mascot. A CREW THAT WORKS WHILE YOU SLEEP Hire a sound engineer, a lighting operator, a video tech and a road manager at every venue. They relaunch everything, even when you put the phone down. While you are away, your crew takes down stages, eats sandwiches and earns money. You collect it all when you come back. SIX VENUES, SIX STAGES Village hall, music bar, concert hall, festival, arena, stadium. Every move changes the stage: a bigger crowd, a bigger band, banners in the audience. Everything is drawn in the control-room style: dark console, seven-segment displays, backlit keys. GO BACK ON TOUR When you have seen it all, start again with Gold Records that boost everything for good. Recruit legendary crew: the motivated intern, the one who knows the cable, the sound engineer who hears a buzz from the car park. AN IDLE GAME THAT RESPECTS YOUR TIME • One hand, portrait, sessions of 3 to 10 minutes • No forced ads, ever: ads are always your choice, for a bonus • Your own music keeps playing, the game never cuts your podcast • Daily goals, login calendar, tokens earned by playing • 30 / 60 / 120 fps modes, volume settings, Dynamic Type friendly • 14 languages Idle Roadie is made by a live-event technician and a lot of gaffer tape. It is a fond, self-mocking tribute to the people in black that nobody sees. Tired, invisible, indispensable. And if it fails, it's the cable.
