Great game but I want to have more control even if it’s a add on
- outtaa99 · v2.2.0
This has so much potential but it’s not there yet. I hope this gets all the love and attention it deserves. The interface is touchy, maybe include more helpful tips when it comes allocating funds for post.
- Gant96 · v2.2.0
i’m having the time of my life playing this game. I’ve liked the update so far.
- Jose12man · v2.1.0
I’m loving the game but can you please make it to where we can change the title of sequel films in franchises.
- Charliezard99 · v2.0.0
I love the game, it’s a fun simulator but one issue is that when maxing out on marketing and buzz a movie never goes beyond $250 million in the opening and getting the “Total Domination” & “Billion Dollar Baby” achievement remain in reachable as the box office number never goes above $715 million idk if there’s something I’m missing or a bug. Other than that dispute I like the new update and hopefully the game continues to get supported.
- Obito2000 · v2.0.0
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.
- ProducerArthur · v1.1.7
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)
- Ramulli11 · v1.1.7
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.
- TnRhodes · v1.1.7
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.
- Pissed91837462828 · v1.1.7
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.
- Chomorros · v1.1.7
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
- AVMickey1314 · v1.1.7
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.
- Mystermoo · v1.1.7
Great game looking forward to more added gameplay and optimizations.
- Frank N1ddy · v1.1.5
It is a fun game at first but for some reason I am unable to hire a DOP so it kinda limits the fun for me. But very promising! Just needs to be updated.
- GageH26 · v1.1.4
Still crashes when you get so far into the game
- LiamMax1011 · v1.1.3
