Hollywood Movie Star Life Sim 9+

One more really honest review

Listen, I really love this game and I really do not usually leave reviews for anything at all. This game as sweet as it is, it’s bitter. I’m not sure why I can have max stats and apply for an independent movie and hardly ever get the role. I know you say that “your agents should be taking care of you” but maybe you want to have a Keanu Reeves like career and nerd out to movies you think would be cool as well, while benefiting independent filmmakers and rising then to relevancy. It would be cool to see your guy impact smaller creators success as well.

Another thing is acting in your own movies, I saw a lot of people bring this up and I totally get it. Whether you want to be like Quentin Tarantino and be a side actor or be like Woody Allen and be the subject of your own movie, I believe it should be an option.

I think you need to pay money to get max stats in this game instead of using your system as a ladder for progress. Maybe you can add a exp system to where you can update some skills.

I also thought about soundtracks, either hiring someone or learning audio on your own.

Just spitballing but I deleted the game, it became too much of the same thing.

Make some big changes and I’m sure this game will grow tenfold.

Thank you for reading.

Has potential

Listen, I like this game. But I started over because I thought I had worked out how to improve my talents only to find that j was entirely wrong. The exponential increase to spending energy on talents, the energy cost of jobs, applying for auditions, and expending energy on improving your auditions/bookings only for it to make absolutely no difference in the end, and how frequently your energy decreases when you only start with a max of 100 in the first place, are frustrating. Oftentimes I’d find myself doing everything I could think of to increase my different talent scores only to see they haven’t budged, or there is at least no indication that they have budged. The tooltips and help aren’t very clear. I think it would greatly benefit this game if there were some tweaks to energy gained versus expended, max energy, and maybe making acting classes and auditioning/booking roles visibly improve talent scores instead of just experience. I wouldn’t mind an occasional option to watch an ad to boost something if I’m running out of time to boost performance on an audition or something, even.

Great at first until you reach billionaire

Enjoyable at first. Grinding and trying to maximize energy spending every week is quite addicting. Finding that perfect talent agent or manager is awesome as they really help with progression. Don’t wait too long to build up your talent points or you won’t score those better gigs.

The director addition was a good idea, however, it feels like it’s missing some additional sliders that players can adjust to improve or worsen the outcome of the movie. Maybe allow the player to choose equipment, producers, camera men etc., or the ability to create scenes for your movies. Some additional events would be cool too. Things that a player must choose that will affect different aspects. And as others have said, once you get to a certain point, there is nothing else to purchase and with the new cap on directing/creating movies, doesn’t give much incentive for players who have put in work and invested real money to even play anymore. Just a few ideas! Thanks for the game!
