Hey folks. When the server launches my character's gonna be running the Gov's Cultural Affairs department - which basically means we handle things like in-game events, working with religious/cultural groups, supporting artists and musicians, that sort of thing. We have a full 2022 events calendar already, so that's already well under control (and will keep us pretty busy). However I'd really appreciate your thoughts on some of the other things we could be doing. Mainly it's a case of seeing how much appetite there is for this sort of thing, and of course to get some ideas and fresh opinions. So here's what I've been thinking, off the top of my head: - An in-game art museum. A place which has actual paintings on the wall, with perhaps a command that opens a popup showing what the painting looks like. Paintings can be created by player characters, so long as they're original pieces (good for those who enjoy drawing or digital painting). This idea came from Maxim and I'm mad keen on it, but obviously it depends on how many people would want to RP an artist either professionally or as a hobby. Plus script limitations but I don't know much about that. - Support for in-game radio stations. I'm not sure how the setup will be in terms of player XM stations like it was on SAMP, but I like the idea of us providing some support (perhaps financially in the most basic instance) for players who put in the time to DJ, host shows etc. - Support for in-game news and media coverage. I know there aren't any in-game news reporting commands at launch, but that's promised for later down the line. The simplest form of support is again financial, perhaps subsidising it to some extent. Perhaps we could provide offices for them and other similar businesses, help them get advertisers and become profitable. - Support for music artists. I remember there used to be a lot of interest in this back in the day, but we'd need to consider what we'd allow player characters to claim as their own (ideally, I guess it would just be things that they create themselves, thus requiring the player to be willing to produce their own stuff). In terms of how to support, on top of financial aid, things like music festivals and maybe something we can do with in-game charts, music awards, etc. Open to thoughts! - Supporting 'tourism'. I'm getting into video editing a bit more so would love to create 'trailers' for the city, which can also then serve as trailers for the server itself to attract new players. So whether this is presented as generic tourism, or like encouraging immigration, or encouraging businesses to set up here... basically all of the above. I'd actually definitely like to do this one, just will require me getting better at video editing or relying on some helpful soul to provide assistance. All very open to suggestions so thanks in advance 😉 Edit: Oh also, if you're planning to do any of the above roleplay please hit me up or mention it here, as it'd be great to know how many people are likely to get involved in this sort of RP in the beginning.

I'm too lazy to read everything but I'm willing to help with anything that I'm capable of, I own two labels in real life and I collaborated with booking agencies and have some knowledge about events in the music area(usually eletronic) - we can make a proper business if it's done right here. Would be nice to have a way to stream mixes through radios inside clubs, I'd love to see more diversity, rather than boring commercial music in clubs. I'm thinking a podcast series weekly where people can actually show their real life work in terms of music (from ambient to rock, whatever is their passion), along with interviews, photographies, etc. I remember owning a pseudo-fashion design house with some friends but we didn't had the time to take care of it - I'd love to see something like that too. Everything else sounds great, from museums to journalism. We could make some Andy Warhol type of business here and combine them all into one unique hub of arts, one huge group of friends that combine music with photography, film, painting, journalism, and so on - this is just my main idea, but I'd adore to see this made properly with a touch of the 70/80s, people being all artsy-partsy and developing characters in that way.
