This or more of a patch than an update as it doesn't add a ton of stuff to the game but we felt there is no reason to hold back on these changes.
Instrument Bonuses
When you go to edit your character or a bandmate, you'll notice that instruments now give you skill bonuses. This has been requested for a long time so we are happy to deliver on this promise at last.
Loan Offer
A lot of new players have told us about the difficulty they faced in the beginning of the game. We can't change too much without completely ruining the progression so we are going to give this new loan offer a try. Within a few days of starting a new game, you'll be offered a loan of $10,000. Let's us know how you think this has affected the gameplay.
Changelog 1.0.0.1
- Story events will now continue forward with the purchase of any vehicle
- Loan offer added to the beginning of the career
- Instrument skill bonuses
- Hotfixes since 1.0.0.0
- Resolution related crashing fixed
- Added missing pattern files that were causing crashes
- Attribute pop ups were displaying the wrong skill icons (still needs to be fixed for bandmates?)
What's next?
We are currently working on a big tutorial update. It's going to let you decide what you want to learn and when through a sort of, Table Of Contents style layout. It will cover how to book shows, band solidity/tension, and anything else you might not yet know or want clarification on.
