Rap Quest 2 - Frequently Asked Questions

---

Make Money?

• Adding to your Money Budget allows you to purchase Beats from the Beats Shop on the Studio screen, and Marketing campaigns from the Marketing tab of the Work screen.
• The primary way to make money is to go to work at the Nightclub, Theater, Music Festival, or Stadium (all found on the map on the Work screen).
• The secondary way to make money is to get signed to a Record Label. Most labels give their artists thousands of dollars in advance money to purchase beats and marketing for your projects.

Earn Diamonds?

• Like your money budget, your Diamonds Budget can be used to purchase beats. Diamonds are also used to purchase Swag performance boosts in the Work mini-game. 
• Diamonds are only earned by attaining high grades in the Studio mini-game. Make sure your tracks are dope!

Get Fans?

• The best way to get fans is to perform at Work Venues. Fans want to see you put your work in, so don't cheat them or else they won't be there for you when your album drops!
• You can also gain fans by successfully finishing a Media Interview mini-game. This is only earned once your Buzz, Fans, Paid Gigs, and Signed status are at the minimum threshold for each venue. Check the Media screen for requirements!
• When you put out Mixtapes, you get an immediate bonus of fans. How many fans you get is generally based on your current Buzz, Overall Rating, and rating of the Mixtape. Putting your best Tracks into a mixtape is your best bet to get the highest influx of fans!
• When you've been away from the game for a while, and have published at least one Album or Song, you should see some fans that came aboard since you've been gone. NOTE: This feature needs tweaking as of v1.7.7, and might be a little buggy. I'm fixing it!!!

Get Label/Media Interview Requests?

• As mentioned above, make sure you have the minimum Buzz percentage, Fan count, Paid Gigs count, and Signed/Unsigned status in order to get a Direct Message from an interviewer. Make sure to refresh your Spitter Feed on the Media page!

Make an album?

• You have to have only Songs (not Mixtape Tracks) added to your project by tapping on the green plus buttons next to each track on your Catalog.
• It's best to put the best Songs on your albums, so make sure you hit the Studio to beef up your Catalog!

Win the Game?

• As of v1.0, the game is technically won when you reach level 100 (at which point you should get a cutscene declaring this).
• I want to add 'prestiging' (starting the game over with some experience, items, or skills still retained) and other extended gameplay beyond just hitting a certain level, but the game needs support.

Support Rap Quest 2 getting better?!

•  This is where I plug my Patreon! If you read this far, you're a true fan, and I LOVE YOU! Any help you can donate will go towards the further development of Rap Quest 2, which will eventually lead to success for the game, and a definite development roadmap for Rap Quest 3!
• If you cannot afford to donate, don't sweat it; I still love you, and your kind and honest review is another way to support me! Follow me on social media and let me know how you feel, which reminds me why this game is so important to me. This game is the continuation of a dream of mine: to discover people like you that want games like this!
