This is a web based computer game. It’s purpose is to present live music with video streaming in a computere game type of environment.
There are no winners or losers in this game. There are live streamed performers and guests who are in attendance at an event.
I recommend using the BRAVE browser. In tests, it provided to be the smoothest game rendering experience.
The first time you enter the rehearsal club will be the longest page load.This is unavoidable. It will be much faster on repeat visits.
This is a web page with a canvas HTML element. It is not a console-like gaming experience. This means that some may experience browser crashes when the internet is slow or unstable. I have built mechanisms that will restore your game play if this happens. You need to have browser cookies enabled for all this to work properly.
Building this Internet project was mostly a solo effort. I relied upon open-source software frameworks to do it.
I am the Software Developer, Game Designer, 3D Modeller, Animator and VC Investor.
This is akin to the old time radio world where one person would be the DJ, Producer, Salesperson, Newscaster and Owner.
I have decades of experience in radio broadcasting, live music and software development.
I think, like many do, that recording your own music is not really working out for the independent artist. There is too much of it and it costs money to produce. One can spend your whole life listening to the back catalog of recorded music and never be able to hear it all. We have all witnessed the steady degradation of the recorded song as something people actually want to own. Technology formats have changed so much so that they now pay the independent music artists virtually nothing at all: vinyl, cassette tapes, CD’s, mp3’s and music streaming services. It has been a long downhill slope. Each technology advance has basically meant less net revenue for the artist who in most cases is the one who paid to have the recording produced.
I speak from my early personal experiences. My first band shows were in a live music world where you actually played out 3 full sets each night (4 sets in Quebec). The gig booking you had was a signed contract and was typically for 3 nights in a row, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. You were expected to be playing your own material (mostly) and, you got paid with some real cash money, not just beer tickets.
Now just imagine that scenario and compare it to where we are now. I have made it my mission want to find a better way for original music to be performed.
