Ok, been playing this for a little while now and was going to post some suggestions earlier, but having a new baby (7/2) sorta occupied my mind. Please also forgive me if I have repeated some ideas that have been posted.

1/ Album/EP Contracts: Multiple releases - speaks for itself.

2/ Tours/Band Manager: I realise something like this is way down the line, but managers are a great addition to games and give you the tool to do lots of different things. Managers could organise tours to promote an album (especially useful for those earlier ones that haven't sold so well), negotiate with studios to get better returns (instead of 40% of the revenue), re-relase albums with "bonus tracks" or whatever - the options are nearly limitless. Nothing says your manager couldn't liase with another band to have them headline a tour or offer your band as a supporting act to build fame.

3/ Band Brand - yep, you heard me - make your band a brand, merchandise the heck out of it and licience the name out to restaurant chains, gyms - whatever (depends how wacky you wanted to go) - provides another stream of revenue and yet more options to penalise players revenue (law suits, safety concerns, etc)

4/ Training Options: Did anyone ever mention that the idea of starting with a skill of 1 and trying to get it to 100 can be boring as all hell? I"m not suggesting direct training - but experience modifiers that can be paid for (local college course, online song writing courses, another band mentoring you - see 2 above also) - just some way to get up there a little quicker. It's fine when you're learning the ropes to want to take your time, but if you've restarted more than a couple of times, re-training your skill up can be tedious. You could even tie it to an achievement - say have a top 40 album, number one album, headline a tour - so that it's not just handed out of the get go - has to be earned.

5/ Home Studio - paying for studio time to practise is fine in the start, but when you're going after the albums and trying to make a serious dent in the market, only a home studio will do. Can tie it to idle time so that when your band isn't doing anything, they're automatically rehearsing songs, first in the set list, then others by whatever criteria you want to set.

6/ Promotions: Some just don't make sense. The internet-based ones, for example, wouldn't just affect local fans - they should be a national thing. Also, there's no current option to establish a fan club which may generate a once a year boost to cash and/or new national fans every year (at the cost of an annual fee for staffing).

7/ No international markets: Speaks for itself. Once popularity get's so high, why stop there? Let's tap those international markets. For the purposes of graphics and work, make it a rabbit hole on the map or tie it into a manager so only (s)he can organise international sales/tours.

8/ Repeating certain tasks: Busking and refining could have a repeat task option so they're just done every day, rather than having to click every time. It's a drag when you rinse, lather, repeat and you've trying a new band. Also, while we're on the subject, why can't be practise song writing? Surely we could? I mean, you can't practise at being a rock star (though it never stopped Freddie Mercury in the early days;) ) but you can practise an instrument, practise song writing etc..

9/ Let Lose the Dogs of War: Self publish albums, "boot legs", live albums etc.. Lots of options here too. Fans love nothing better than a CD full of alternate takes (what, just me, then?) - every stint at a recording studio could record alternate takes of songs.

10/ Let me go get my guitar: Why can't we practise our set list in moms garage? We can practise playing - so surely we could practise a set list to get those percentages up to,say 50% with time (upper cap?).

I realise some of these take longterm work, others may be fully slottable into the work load - others still might take a little time to fully implement but could be partially started in the next few months along side other updates. Just some food for thought - you've already got my money so I guess you only have to listen to me if you want to;)
