Playing Rising Star.
You start out as a busker without a license and gradually grow. Seems pretty straight forward. The attractive part of the game to me was the chance to grow some Crypto, or more to the point. I could gain some extra Hive to power up. So far. The powering up of HIVE has a value of 0.
I did make some HIVE. probably about 15 - 16 HIVE, reinvested it to the game though. I bought two Pizza boxes (A great asset in game). A whiskey bottle (can be beneficial), and two card deck. Card deck contain 3 random cards.
I was beginning to think the game was just a bit too easy. As you can see, I reached to level 27, almost at 28. You need to rise in levels to open up new quests you can do. But in these beginning stages, gaining levels is not a problem and keeping up with the levels needed is easy enough.
Right now I have completed the first series of quests. Completing the last one Saturday Headline. opens up the next page of quests to be completed.
Still yet to do the first of the second set of quests. (need to get a mid range acoustic guitar).
I also found the game gets a little harder. It's not possible to just keep doing quests and collecting tips from passers by. As your fan base grows. There is a chance your popularity is more your ego than actual skill. Once your fan base reaches 1000. The Ego Barometer kicks in.
In the image above you can see my fan base is 906 and my skill level is 370. Those two number work together or against each other depending on your view. Once 1000 fans is each you need to also have a skill level of about 1000 to maintain maximum rewards. My ego level is at 63% when I go over 1000 fans. I lose 63% of the maximum value from rewards. This makes the game a bit better I think. You need to watch various levels of the game.
I will need to do a few music lessons it seems before I carry on too far. Still learning about the intricate workings of the game as I play. Which is good for me, keeps the mind thinking instead of going to zombie click mode.
The levels in the second set of quests I do not have a high enough level to complete yet. Targets to reach :) I will make use of the radio interview though. Simply because it offers better reward than the busking, the first quest available. I also need to build my skill level up to about 1500 nearly 5 times what I have now.
Each time I go over 1000 fans. I will do a piano lesson.
This will gradually bring my skill up to equal the fans and still let me earn some starbits as I go.
This is basically my game so far. In another couple of months or maybe sooner, I will do another update about my game.
Feel free to leave questions in the comments I will answer any as best I can.
