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.
