Close but major bug broke game

Really loved this game, real time killer! But when I got to the stage of hiring legendary directors, they keep asking for a minimum three star script to be hired. However, I rewrote one script and got a perfect star rating (10). And he still says he needs a 3 star script. I also can’t hire a new director because he’s waiting for this 3 star script that isn’t coming. I have two films like this right now and it has stopped my progress.

Thanks for flagging this. We’ll fix it in the next update.

Fantastic game!

I love the game and I really hope the dev has some updates soon. I’d love to have higher ceilings for profit, maybe have a timestamp for streaming so you can make more money in the future for the same movie, allowing players spin-offs and prequels, the ability to buy other studios(not all because of monopoly laws), a way to cast the same people for the sequel, vary prices of directors and actors based on box office performance, and physical media(dvd,merch,video game deals, and toys)

Thank you for the review and your ideas. Yes - there's a lot more in the works. Stay tuned!

Kills Battery

This is a great game & love the concept. You can tell a lot of work has been put into it & can’t wait to see what improvements are coming…My only complaint is this is only game or app I use that totally sucks the life outta my battery from the minute I start playing & heats my phone up!! It makes it difficult to actually play or work on projects.

Lots of Potential

This a game I would play forever if you made some changes to it. The things that work are the budget you have to handle. I love how you’ve set up just the logistics of making movies and handling the board. I also love the reviews that come out, as well as the awards. I also like how you can track the box office every year. Here’s what I would love for you to change:

1. It’s far too easy to make a ton of money early on. This essentially makes the game so easy that I don’t care about playing it anymore. Please make this harder.

2. Can the board set different goals for you other than being financially solvent? Can they ask you to win awards? Or make a certain amount of action movies? I’m not entirely sold on this idea, but it might make things interesting.

3. Add more of Hollywood to the story. Please add a magazine like Variety or Deadline to talk about what the other studios are doing, what movies have a lot of buzz, make a Top 10 Rising Actors every year, etc.

4. Add more awards. Right now my films win out the Oscar’s in my second year. Can you make this harder AND add like, the Golden Globes or the Independent Spirit Awards? This way you can still get award nominations early in the game for the lesser award ceremonies, but it’ll take time to work up to the Oscars.

5. Please add an IMDB for the actors. It’ll just add so much more to the world building.

Great potential

Solid game, but it’s not there yet. It’s relatively easy to become the #1 studio with more money than you know what to do with. You can then just do blockbusters with all of the best talent and it’s repetitive.

Biggest complaint is the lack of instructions in the game or online. For example, how do the writer skills boost the subject matter? Do all subjects need put into a movie (like even a great action flick will have SOME humor) or does it make it worse by allocating points? What combos of movie focus create certain sub genres?

Still gets 4* from me because I think it’s solid. Just has room for improvement.

Please fix some things

The box office is fun, but its impossible to get even 600 million and the opening weekend box office only goes up to 120 million which I feel should be more if you have a powerhouse of a director and actors. Also maybe add more themes to make movies, like musicals, parodies, etc. Also would be more fun if there are more posters for movies. And if even you can sell your own IP to other productions like for them to license your IP to make toys, clothes, video games, etc. Please consider these ideas, they would be fun

By adding BUZZ, which is a new data set used to calculate the success of films, the old save games could no longer be used because the risk of crash for save games with ongoing productions without the Buzz value was too high. We are truly sorry, but the next updates will not change the calculation, they will only add more content so that the problem with the save games will not occur again in the future.

Very Promising Game

Very good game really excited to see how it develops. Unfortunately lost my major save with the new update but the developer was very happy to make it right. Cant wait to get back to playing.

Love it

Loving the game. Developers are extremely quick to fix things. Nothing negative to say really.

The latest update did get rid of my saved games though. I personally don't care and was starting a new one to see if I could do any better but I bet some people won't like it and I wouldn't have a week ago lol

With our new version all the problems are fixed. We hope you still enjoy playing the game

Macht total Spaß

Seine eigenen Filme zu entwickeln macht in diesem
liebevoll gestalteten Spiel totalen Spaß.
Ein zusätzlicher netter Touch sind auch die witzigen Namen der Regisseur:innen und Schauspieler:innen, die an die echte Welt angelehnt sind.
