## Popscene (Music Industry Sim) Description
Bring your music collection to life with animated performances as you embark on a career in the industry! Form your own band by recruiting talent from over 100 artists across 6 unique labels. Then record hits that will top the charts and take them on the road to over 20 different venues - complete with real reviews that scrutinize your strengths and weaknesses. With an endless schedule of possibilities before you, and an ever-evolving industry to immerse yourself in, Popscene captures the highs and lows of music in the palm of your hand!

* Please note that this game's use of MP3s may not be compatible with some devices. If this affects you, consider turning off MP3 music in the options.

PLAYING GUIDE:
Popscene divides the music making process into entertainment (represented by stars) and artistry (represented by hearts). As in real life, popular music is more likely to shoot up the charts and draw fans - but without substance, the success may be short-lived. Each of the game's many artists has the following attributes that influence this process:

- POPULARITY is the artist's ability to draw fans to entertaining content.
- REPUTATION is their ability to draw fans to artistic content.
- PERFORMANCE is their ability to perform entertaining songs live.
- TALENT is their ability to perform artistic songs live.
- PRODUCTION is their ability to compose entertaining music.
- WRITING is their ability to compose artistic music.
- HAPPINESS is the pleasure they currently get from their work.
- ATTITUDE indicates how likely they are to either contribute or cause trouble.

Each week, depending on the size of your team and their collective attitude, new songs may be recorded. Each member of the team contributes their score to a new song, and whoever scores the highest will be credited with making it. Members who are dedicated backstage staff will contribute twice instead of once - increasing the chances of a good song being written.

Once songs exist, it is the on-stage performers who must bring it to life. As with writing, each band member on stage contributes their score and the highest determines how well the song was received in each category. This time, it is the "frontman" who gets to contribute twice instead of once - so consider who is at the forefront.

The overall rating for a show is the average of all the songs performed - albeit slightly more generous so that perfection is not required. This is also true of album reviews. A 5-star performance may consist of consistent 4-star contributions. Reviews are where your performances feed back into the stats that produced them, because each attribute will rise or fall to reflect what just happened.

When booking venues, you must consider how much it will cost versus how much you are likely to recoup. Tickets are sold at $5 per song so it depends how long your set is. You will receive a percentage of this revenue, and must then use that to pay your employees and any other expenses. Singles are sold at $1 each whereas albums are sold at $1 per song for a maximum of $10. If you have a week of inactivity, you may find that you make a loss because of the expenses of your lifestyle (which reflects your wealth).

I regret there is more to this game than I could ever explain here, so enjoy figuring some things out for yourself!

## Popscene (Music Industry Sim) Reviews in United States

### ***-- "Two Problems"
This game is better than guitar games but one problem is that that y’all need new guitars and clothes and also work the MP3 on IPhone. The Second problem is that it acts like we they do updates it’s like nothing changed so ima change it to a 3 star and also can we put picture when we make albums and singles.
-- Shonta Broadway, 2025-08-24

### ***** "I love Mat Dickie"
I have been playing his games ever since I knew what a phone was
Mat if you are reading this. Please just introduce the latest clothes and hair choices that you have in other games like super city and wrestling revolution 
That’s all I ask
Pleasesee 
I want my artist to have dreads pleaseeee
-- Xerxes_37, 2025-08-22

### **--- "Game play"
I get frustrated when playing this in a year I get sued to court in the game like 30 times and the judge has never favour me for once you have to work on that also you are to work on the game play make I more modern
-- Maya478, 2025-08-17

### ***-- "Fun but crashes on a certain part"
I have so much fun in this game but there’s a specific part in the magazine where the screen just freezes and I can’t continue :( I’ve tried everything but it keeps freezing on the same page of the magazine
-- shhdiwiwisuhcn;), 2025-07-29

### ***-- "New updates please"
This game is good but I think there could be some additional scenes like old school and wrestling empire which have maps cars etc. and the graphics and names should be there like fake central-cee or Justin Bieber. And I think more clothes,shoes,caps,etc and more 2025 names of artists will be great I hope this is no too much to ask but I have played this game for like a year but no updates unlike old school and hard time3 which have been updated so please give it a new update thanks
-- Kenny spark, 2025-07-15

### ***-- "Honest review from a person that has been playing this for eight years"
This game could really be the best if they updated they haven’t updated this game in eight years and if they update this like how they did with wrestling Empire, this game would be crazy fun, and the open world and being able to send it tracks I really hope they update this game. It has so much fun and it’s probably better than wrestling empire and all their newer games.
-- James4 ¥, 2025-07-05

### ***-- "Link to MP3 should be voice recordings"
I think that the link to MP3 should link to voice recordings or YouTube not Apple Music or iTunes like that would be better. Also is this game ever going to be updated?
-- jamell24, 2025-06-19

### **--- "It won’t work"
I’ve played this game a while back, and I decided to go back into it, but it won’t let me even play the game, let alone load, all I wanna do is put my mp3 music I made into the game because I think it’ll be fun actually playing my music in your game and stuff, I never got to try the mp3 feature out a while ago, so can you please fix the game MDickie!!!
-- opglachlor, 2025-06-07

### ****- "Come back"
Come back
-- myownscene100and40, 2025-05-18

### ***-- "UPDATE THE GAME"
Man me and all my homies been tryna hop back on pop scene and it’s like everytime we press get songs from mp3 it lags out please stop updating all your other games and come back and update this one …! And also I’ve been thinking of more business ideas for this game specifically can you contact me asap on instagram @22Slxppin please and thank you
