K-POP Idol Producer

I played this game years ago and… there’s still multiple things from then that haven’t been fixed. For one. The English translation isn’t very good, and it still has the same translation errors as from when I first played it. Second, the game itself is just very hard. There were multiple times I had to take a loan (Aka the game did it automatically because you can’t take one unless your under x amount?) because balancing profit while waiting for my idols to train was hard. The game heavily punishes you for not pumping out songs quick enough, while also punishing you for using the same concepts multiple times. (Cute + HipHop Trend coming back? And you made a 2nd album exactly like that? Ew!) This feels like the opposite of what would happen IRL, where if you stick to one genre, you’ll get fans who will stick with you because of it. Theres also not a lot of Outfits. For each category (cute, sexy (which is weird when you can have idols younger than 15), pure, and chic) there’s only 3 outfits that you can buy without the premium currency. And these never swap out or change if your stylists quality improves. I find this insane considering you get an album that shows you there’s at least 100 outfits in the game. But I assume they only come from the gacha machine, which at best will give you gold for the fact you have to wait and get 10 tokens back just to spin each time. I feel like this would be much better if it only cost 1 token and the rates were still the same, since others have complained about a money struggle in the game multiple times.

i love this game!! i’ve been playing on + off + i must say its extremely addictive. i’ve restarted like 4-5 times now because once my groups improve + keeping money becomes easy i tend to get bored. a couple of features i would love to see: 1) different genres. we have the 4 main concepts but i think it would be cool to also choose between genres. as an example, if i was using real groups i would probably say dreamcatcher + blackpink could be best categorized as chic if i had to sort them into a concept but they’re wildly different in reality. i think having genres like rock, pop, edm, etc would be cool. there’s tons of different genres so i understand if this is heavily simplified for the sake of the devs. 2) soloists + subunits!! this is my biggest thing about the game that i wish was a feature. i would LOVE to have soloists as well as make subunits out of my groups. i feel like this wouldn’t be too difficult to add + i think it could be a fun touch. i’m not sure if the developers even still update this game (i don’t think they do) but i hope that they see this + take it into consideration! <3

It's been one of my favorite games, at times a bit frustrating when I have so much trouble keeping money since time goes by so quickly and events or schedules use so much money that by the time I've made profit from an album or song, I'm scraping by to save myself from debt. But I suppose it adds a realistic touch, whether intentional or not. But I digress, my main issue for the past 2 weeks (yes 2!!) has been that I can't even open the game! It does the whole opening scene process with the "made by Unity" and whatnot but as soon as it gets to the main loading screen where it shows the idols on stage performing while it loads to open the game, it says "game loading, please wait..." and so I wait. I wait. Wait a little more. Now it's been twenty minutes and I'm still waiting! It has been like that for weeks and I can't possibly play when it wont even open. Before you ask, my internet connection is not the problem I've experimented with it many times to see what the issue was, I also deleted and redownloaded the game about 6 times. I had finally built up a steady company, the money was starting to flow in with no worries of debt, the group was going great, the albums were getting insanely good numbers. I left the game alone for a week because I'd gotten busy, and when i come back it won't even open. Please help I miss playing. 😞
