Box Office Sim 2 4+

Great ideas, but lots of tweaks

I was delighted to see you have released a new version.

I really like the new features you have added, I love locations and the other roles in the film and how it is more in depth.

However I really found the following difficult or annoying:

1. Name suggestions for characters would be great so I don’t have to think of loads

2. Please add more colours for logos, I much prefer simple black and white

3. There are a number of glitches where the back buttons or options on the main page don’t work and I lost all progress because I couldn’t get to the save page or go back into the movie

4. I found the list of cast crew really bizarre and a pain to use. There’s no way to getting to the middle pages without literally pressing the button 200 times, and I don’t like the fact everyone can perform each job. The advanced search feature is confusing as you can’t search by cost etc. and I found when I selected someone based on their cost, it would jump up by a few million when added to the film, so would then have to go back and restart the search. I really preferred the search function on the old app - there is no comparison

5. Could you add more locations like ‘City’ & maybe some interior ones as not all films are in a forest, mountain etc.

I’m loving the new regions and releases, and genuinely think you ah e made some great improvements. Just the above points are things that really stuck out!

Please listen up!

A couple issues here dev. Take this as constructive criticism. I feel like you are overworking yourself with the animal actors and cast. Go back to the original random humans, looks much better trust me. From someone who played your precious box office game endlessly, the Ui needs to be simplified by a lot. Go back to the easy system of casting writers and creating movies, but keep the location scouting and keep the whole location scenes bit. I feel like you have gone for a lot here, and quality beats quantity. I don’t mind at all giving you constant feedback. So, in summary; use old UI, remove animal scraps and species, simplify movie making process(like in the old game) but keep new features such as locations and three genres.

Developer Response ,

Thank you for the feedback, you now have the option of using Animals or People on the New Game screen. Hopefully that fixes some of the issues you are having.

Problems and suggestions

When selecting directors actors etc game crashes and I have to re script the whole movie.
The screen goes black when scripting and comes back slowly after a couple minutes.

Second is auto names would be great for actors and movie names.
