hi! i have a list of ideas and suggestions i have for stagestar. hope theyre good 🙂 ill put more ideas if i think of them but rn these are all the ideas i have

Feature Ideas

A new app called "StageBook", the equivalent of Facebook in the game.
StageGram Stories. Equivalent of Instagram Stories.
Random Encounters: On a random day/week, you might get into something random. Like a fight with another artist, or an executive trying to sign you to a deal. This can be toned down or turned off in the settings. SMZ is also tied to the feature.
StageGram's equivalent of the app "Genius" (i havent thought of a name idea yet lmao), where you can read your own lyrics (will also tie to another suggestion I have). Could be useful if an artist you're dissing drops a response track, and you wanna read what they said there.
If the quality of the song you made is not up to par, you should be able to rework it. You can add new production elements, rework lyrics, etc.
You should be able to make an album and not put it up for release. You'll have to work and make the tracks first, rework if necessary, make up concepts and ideas for the album's story & direction, and once you think it's finished, you can put it up for release.
Mental Stability/Wellbeing Meter: Should tackle the psychological side of fame. Things that could lower it include hate on social media, low inspiration, constant touring, scandals, flops, controversies, etc. Things that could raise it include breaks, therapy, positive fan support, and success. Instead of a number dropping, it should affect gameplay. If your stability is low, it could result in creative burnout, aggression, and worst case, a psychotic break. Random encounters are also tied to this.

Gameplay Ideas

When making a song, you should also be able to put the full lyrics in if you feel like putting lyric previews is a bit too short for you. Also ties to the Genius app idea.
Leaking of a song should be more than just SMZ news. On social media, the leaked track could spread and be on your feed for days until your team strikes them down. It could also affect hype, fan reactions, and release timing (release timing should only be affected if you're signed to a label)
More merch options should be available. Like hats, jackets, pants, etc.
More news blogs should report on your whatdoings other than SMZ. (Like Daily Mail, Deadline, and whatnot)
You should be able to make an original song for a movie. Example: Lil Nas X with Beverly Hill Cop: Axel F, Eminem with 8 Mile, Wiz Khalifa with Fast & Furious 7.

Beef System Improvements

Fans of the artist you're dissing could randomly insult, jeer, or mock you on social media.
For the random encounters feature, you could randomly get into a fight with the person you're dissing, or get heckled by a fan of theirs whilst you're out on the street whilst the beef is still hot.
The beef can cool off, but fans of the dissed artist still won't forget about the past. They could still hate you and post hate comments on your socials.

QoL (Quality of Life)/Miscellaneous Improvements & Extras

More accurate UI elements for apps.
More in-depth posts/comments on S or StageGram.
We should be able to pick our own birthday on the create artist screen. Once your birthday comes around, fans could wish you a happy birthday on your socials.
Pre-release campaigns for singles shouldn't be locked behind a record label deal.
We should be able to set a game at a specific time other than January, Week 1, [insert year here].
Adding NPC artists shouldn't really be locked behind StageStar+. (but that's MY opinion)
Separate sub-genre variaties for genres. Example: A Hip-Hop track could be boom bap, trap, cloud rap, drill, a Rock track could be alternative, punk, you get the idea.
A Non-Music genre for skits, monologues, and spoken interludes.
More home country options.
An auto-restock feature for merchandise so we don't have to do it manually, or maybe a notification if one of your items sells out and needs restocking?
