I was looking for a calm and relaxing game to stream and as someone who has played and enjoyed music their entire lives you can imagine how wide my eyes got when I came across this title. I cannot describe the excitement. After playing through I was really pleased but I feel like there are some things that can be improved on and I cannot wait to sit down and play the full version.

1. The tutorial. There is no clear direction on what to do. The main "go here and do this" is there but it leaves a lot of open ended fumbling around to figure out what needs to be done. For example... Although it tells you to accept the order and what you need to do it leaves you putting the guitar on the bench and wondering how to actually select the part to add things. Once you figure out how to put the body on the assembly rig the rest of it is pretty intuitive. The tutorial could be a little more linear as well. It allows you to go ahead and do things before completing other tasks which led to random prompt pop ups in places like the warehouse which I had entered 10 times before already.

2. The painting. I can see how starting out as a slow painter and spending points or in game currency to improve your painting experience would be a good idea but the painting itself is cumbersome. The texture makes it look like there are brush strokes of some sort making it hard to tell what needs to be painted and what has already been painted. (the lack of light on some parts of the guitar no matter how you move or flip it do not help). In the end I could not get the paint past 99% and just had to give up and do the auto complete making everything I did before mute. The blending between two tones also needs work.

3. The warehouse inventory. Having inventory already in the warehouse and not telling me what I need is a little confusing. I cant say how much time I spent wondering why I couldn't order any parts because my warehouse space was full. I had to go back to the warehouse and delete a lot of items in order to purchase what I needed to complete the job. This added to the fact that you cant time travel during parts orders made the whole time of deleting parts and waiting for new ones a lot longer then it should have been. In my honest opinion even in the tutorial having no pre-purchased inventory would make this process a lot more enjoyable even in the tutorial.

4. Deleting parts from inventory. This.... So you just loose that money? I didn't see anywhere saying that you would get in game currency back. An option to sell would be amazing.

5. A tablet like other sims games would be really enjoyable. Maybe unlock-able in a perk? Something I didn't really care for is running upstairs just to order parts and because of the warehouse space I had to do it a lot. lol

Over all with just those small issues I really enjoyed this prologue and I cannot wait to play and stream the full version. Two of the best attention to details for me as a musician was the adjustment of the trust rod and the tuning. I can see where this could also lead into a lot of potential mini games that would ad a lot to the final version.

With all of that being said I am just an idiot behind a keyboard who spent 1.8 hours on a demo and I loved it. Thank you guys so much for your time and hard work to put this together for us. Please feel free to direct message me if there is anything I can help test with.
