Movie Business 4+

I’m really enjoying this game, there are a few things that keep it from being 5 stars. 1. I keep getting bad reviews because of my script, it will say things like “humor and drama don’t mix” when my movie doesn’t have humor. 2. More info on what the stats mean would be cool.

For a paid game I’d love to see the awards get reworked. One of my favorite things about this game is seeing your knowledge/work being paid off. The current awards/ceremony is very, very lack luster. The Oscars was introduced but it’s still called “Movie Awards” or something.. the name didn’t really stick. It’s all my movies being nominated but that doesn’t seem realistic. I don’t want to be handed accolades, I’d like to earn them. Let me see my competitors and see them win over over. I’d love to see if my screenwriters, directors and actors incurring for being in my movies. I would also like a trophy room to visit my accolades. There’s a history museum but it doesn’t even show what I’ve won? Or what movie won? No trophies or anything. The game is pretty fun, but the immersion for me is ruined when the awards is just a quick, tap through one off thing that doesn’t feel special at all and then right back into making movies. Explain to me how in my first year a movie I made that didn’t even earn the money back on was nominated and won? Feels like a handout.

I like the UI and graphics but the gameplay loop is lame; tap tap sort tap from list tap tap make number go higher a lil. That’s all, there’s nothing to work towards, only boring money sinks. The effectiveness of any player decision is completely left up to a guess even after the experiment is over. TLDR list pickin’ gameplay loop is not fun and there is no reason to play “100 in game years” for what amounts to incremental revenue gains. Again, UI, UX are phenomenal. Big kudos to animated revenue chart, that piece is the best part of the game. Needs more data though to make all the lame poking snd prodding at variables to be worth interactive time.
