First Impression
So, first of all many thanks for making this game. It's something I really wanted for a long time and I'm soo happy there finally is a rockband tycoon game. For an Early Access it's already very playable. Here are some suggestions:

1. When you go shopping you don't see how much money you have. That'd be useful.
2. When you pause the game, click on f.e. the map and eventually go back to your band, it's not paused anymore. Not sure if it's a bug or just something that annoys me.
3. When you're holding auditions for band members maybe something like a notification would be nice, otherwise you might forget that you're able to hire new band members.
4. The tutorial might be expanded, f.e. with how to release an album etc. (I know you're working on that, I've seen some other people suggesting it as well).
5. Maybe giving the possibility to have more than 4 band members, f.e. a lead and rhythm gitarist, keyboard, violin, second drummer, second vocalist, clear/unclear vocals. Maybe giving the ability to let f.e. your vocalist give the possibility to learn another instrument, f.e. guitar. Just some ideas.
6. I've read somewhere else about letting people choose their start budget, that'd be a nice idea. (I haven't had struggles with money though (yet)). Difficulty easy might be a lot of money, difficulty hard will be with few money.
7. Adding a merch shop as another income resource, or is there already one? At least I haven't found it.
8. Maybe for in the far future, the possibility to Tour in Europe and other continents? I have to say it's great to see that it's already possible to visit 76 cities, that's quite a lot.

Well, I guess that's it for now. Some ideas are more for long term, but you can think about it. Once again, thanks for doing this, I already love it. Keep up the great work guys! :)

2. It goes back to the last time you had selected (hotfixed that today actually)
3. I totally agree, that seems to be an obvious one we didn't think of
6. Difficulty is such a hard topic right now due to misbalances in the game and the whole experienced not being fleshed out yet, glad you like the starting money idea though
7. There is no merch shop but that isn't a bad idea, a way to have a sustainable income
8. We actually wanted this originally but it really comes down to our budget and what we are able to accomplish

Thanks for the amazing suggestions and feedback. ^_^

I've played it for a few hours today so I've got some more ideas/feedback you might think about.

@6: I haven't had money issues. I hired almost the cheapest band members available (because with my budget they were the only possible), but I haven't got bankrupt and I didn't even came close. You could add some differences in start money without changing anything else in the game.
@8: It's understandable, would be nice if it'd happen but it's not necessary to the game. And maybe a DLC one day? (DLC's aren't always popular unless there aren't too many and they really add a new fun aspect to the game, and of course as long as they're not too expensive).

(I've had 8 points so far so I'll continue with 9)
9. Touring. Where you can easily schedule a touring scheme with dates, promotion etc. and where travelling kinda happens automatically instead of just some random gigs. This might be very difficult to accomplish though.
10. Support program. Could be nice to gain fans and popularity when you can open the act of a bigger band.
11. Live albums, deluxe albums and dvd's could be interesting stuff as well to release at a Record Company.
12. Fan feedback. Would be nice to see what the fans think/want, f.e. where to perform etc.
13. Video views. It's great to see that you can already create a video, but it doesn't do too much now. Maybe a video chart where you can see the views of your video?
14. I've got several pop-ups that a Record Company wants to buy a song of me, but tbh I don't know the quality and characteristics of that song. So it'd be nice to see the song information when you get an offer.
15. I don't know what the function of the fights between band members is, what the reasons are for that and how you can stop it. At this moment it doesn't really add something to the game. It should be expanded and otherwise maybe taken out of the game.
16. Gold/Silver/Platinum labels once your album get a x amount of sold copies.
17. What's the function of the "Albums sold" bar in the "Band World Ranking" list? I've released two EP's, but it didn't change.
18. When signing a contract at a Record Company you get several assignments and discounts, but it's not easy to know in which cities the gigs etc. are. Maybe, after you signed a contract, the cities where you can perform and record can get a sign so you can easily find them instead of looking in every city for the right venue to perform.

Just some ideas for now, I know some of them are very demanding and will be difficult to add into the game, but you can think about it.
