You requested it so we delivered it Character customizations are now unlocked for both bandmates and players. This means you can change your drummers hairstyle or beard. No limitations besides the exception of gender and skin tone. New shirts Panos got around to creating some cool new shirts. Take a peep! These definitely are more unique than the other shirts currently available ingame so you s…
Improving basd on your feedback After a much needed break from development we're coming back to improve the quality of life for RGT. In the coming days Panos plans to bring in some more customization options for characters! Time freeze bug We've heard a lot of people bring up the time freezing bug and yet a ton of players were able to play upwards of 50 hours without any issues. Since it didn't…
Your requests have been heard The past few months have been fantastic and we really appreciate all the support, feedback, and kindness we've seen from the community. One major request we've heard has been the need for copy/pasting in the song editor. It was not originally implemented due to the complexity of it. As a way of giving back we've spent the time and implemented copy/pasting! We are a…
The most recent update (1.2.0.6) was missing "homes.pack" which led to no home backgrounds appearing. This has been fixed. Yearly awards should add to the billboard stats properly now. *Edit* Our DRM was acting up due to my own stupidity. This has been hotfixed. Live Development Roadmap Seabass Twitter (programmer) Panos's Twitter (artist) Keep rockin' on! :RockSign:
Long awaited yearly awards We've always wanted to add yearly awards but never got around to it. Now we have added them and well, they make the yearly progress a bit more exciting. Alongside these awards we've touched up and polished a few things so we hope you enjoy the new update! Changelog 1.2.0.6 · Added yearly awards · Clicking on a bandmate that is behind a character action menu has been f…
Just a quick update on the development schedule. We are planning another update that should bring a number of quality of life upgrades to Rock God Tycoon. We currently estimate it to be released around July 31st. That's all for now! Live Development Roadmap Seabass Twitter (programmer) Panos's Twitter (artist) Keep rockin' on! :RockSign:
Difficulty A number of people have complained about the difficulty of the game and while many people feel that it is still far from difficult... I think that the different experiences is the result of casual gamers and those seeking a realistic brutal tycoon experience. Now it is up to you if you want an easy or realistic experience. Changelog 1.2.0.4 Added an easy mode to the new game menu. It…
Tension events Tension reducing events reduce tension by a certain percentage with each band member. This has unfortunately led to a lot of confusion. There were some bugs with tension changes not being saved properly but this has all been fixed. Extended resolution support I recently acquired a 4k monitor and realized that Rock God Tycoon doesn't support resolutions beyond 1920x1080. Upon seei…
Reducing the grind/difficulty Update 1.2.0.0 resulted in an endless grind where money was barely obtainable. The game progression was slowed to nearly a stop and so we listened to what the community had to say about it. As a result of your experiences and voices we have made a number of balance changes. You should be able to progress a lot easier now and a few of the more harsh changes we made…
At long last! Generally I would write out a few paragraphs regarding the update but you can find loads of information about this update in the previous two news posts we posted. Post #1: Click Here Post #2: Click Here You'll notice with these changes that the game seems completely different. Tension is handled in a new way and you'll have to manage your money a lot differently. Changelog 1.2.0.…
Where is the update at? We are still working on the update and at the moment we really can't say exactly when it will be made available. A lot of the update is implemented and looks to be very promising. We want to give you a sneak peak at a few of the things this update brings. We estimate this update will be available by the end of this week. Tension Relief After a hard day of jamming in the…
Hey everyone! It has been nearly two weeks since our last update which is a long time if you have ever taken notice of our regular update schedule. Panos and I have been working hard on the next update and really wanted it to be special. Quality of life improvements are nice but updates can be so much more. The next update will bring the game to version 1.2! What will be in version 1.2? We have…
Interview with SciMax Radio I did a fun interview with SciMax Radio and that'll be live right now (4pm PST)! There will be a Q & A at 5pm PST so if you are a fan, try to be there! Call in at 5pm PST (8pm EST) and ask questions to Seabass! 775-285-7029 is the number! -Tim Draco News regarding Rock God Tycoon We decided there are a number of key components we still need to implement before we can…
We bring to you another significant update! We haven't had any complaints as of recently and so we figured we should just add more good stuff anyways. This is not to say we aren't still working on user suggestions and taking feedback. New Game improvements Panos figured that it would really improve the early game and overall replayability if we gave players the choice of a starting perk. Prior…
Hey everyone! We have decided to get some user input on our next major feature, Festivals! We already have a few ideas and while we already have a great start we would like to hear what you think should be included. Let us know in the comments below!
Hello everyone Panos here, I have finally settled down and I am able to work on the game again. We have big plans for the next few updates *ahem festivals *ahem, but this is what we got since I got back yesterday. MAP UI Redesigned - The map UI will now also show you the events in whichever city you are hovering your mouse over. - You can now see the name of the city you are viewing on the map.…
Quality of life You can now toggle between the normal cursor and the Windows default cursor. F3 to toggle between the two options. Cancelling events via the dateboxes shown at the top of the main hub has been around for a while but it wasn't really explained anywhere so there is now a tooltip for it. City hype In an attempt to make the mid to late game more exciting we have added city hype. Wha…
Any updates about planned features? We have a huge list of new features and changes we plan to make. Festivals, awards, and sponsors. The list goes on and on. Right now while Panos is still away I am focusing on improving the game's quality of life . You'll see that in this update with the changes made to gig performances. We want to reach out to more people as we go so are also focused on talk…
Hey everyone! We would like to apologize for our short absence over the past two weeks. So here is an update on the development situation. Panos (the artist) is still working on settling in somewhere and is still unable to work on artwork at the moment. It is looking like he will be settled in by the end of next week but we can make no promises and in the meantime, we'll keep you posted. The re…
There were so many more issues with the music player that I was unaware of until now. I've implemented some new code that should stop audio from causing game crashes. It turns out the crashes were a result of a bug with the engine we use (Game Maker: Studio 2). I'm hoping they fix this eventually but for now I created a work around that users shouldn't notice. Let me know in the comments if it…
Calendar issues There were some logic related issues with the calendar that I had not considered such as, "What if it is before the previous day of the month but next year?" or "what if it is a previous month but an earlier day?" Obviously there is a lot that goes into creating a calendar and we appreciate you all being patient with us. We are a tiny team and so testing features to the point of…
Listening to your music! At long last you can listen to your music instead of the default soundtrack. You've always been able to do it but it has been behind a wall of annoying file related instructions. This music player allows for workshop tracks as well so keep that in mind! First change your soundtrack type to "User Only" (audio settings) Then click the "+" sign. You'll be presented with th…
Yesterday I accidentally broke performances. They have been fixed. Changes made: -Fixed performances being disabled -Increased note check allowance from 32 to 64 pixels (rhythm gameplay) We are adding more awesome stuff as we speak so be ready for another update soon!
Calendar booking system We have always wanted a touring system and the community has been asking for a way to book events further into the future so we decided it was time to re-design our booking system. The new calendar UI allows for you to book/cancel events as far into the future as you would like. This brings with it an obvious warning... DO NOT BOOK 50 YEARS WORTH OF EVENTS at once. It wi…
