And get this - there are more than 20 rad venues for you to perform at! The game even has reviews and news reports that determine how awesome your legacy is gonna be. And guess what? It's free to download! But if you wanna be extra fancy, you can buy a 'backstage pass' for even more cool stuff.

The game splits the whole music-making thing into two parts: entertainment and artistry. The stuff that's popular is more likely to climb the charts and get fans hyped, but if it lacks substance, the success won't last long. In this game, every artist has different qualities that affect how they do in the biz, like how popular they are, their rep, their talent, their stage presence, their songwriting skills, how happy they are, and their attitude. As a band manager, your job is to find and recruit stars from the music industry and make new songs every week. Once you've got some songs ready to go, it's up to the performers on stage to bring them to life.

When you're booking venues, you gotta think about the money you'll make versus the money you'll spend. We sell tickets for $5 per song, and as a player, you get a cut of that cash. But remember, you'll need to use that money to pay your crew and cover any other costs. If you're selling singles, they go for $1 each. And if you've got an album, it's $1 per song, but no more than $10 in total. Now, on the indie scene, players take a bigger slice of the smaller earnings. So eventually, if you wanna make it big, you'll have to sign with a major label.

Popscene is like the ultimate band manager game where you get to live out your rockstar dreams! You can do it all - create your own band, make killer songs, rock out on stage, and even book gigs. It's all about finding the right balance between making awesome music and putting on a show. So get ready to build your own legacy in the music industry!
