Nice movie tycoon simulation. Game mechanics partially identical to those of some game dev simulations, but nonetheless they are enjoyable enough to play (again) in a different setting. So, overall a solid 7/10 if you like such tycoon style games.

A brilliant game that allows me to be creative and experiment with how to run my film studio. I actually prefer this game to Game Dev Tycoon. The mod that gives you real actor names adds an extra layer of immersion as well. Getting a 19-year-old Tom Cruise onboard for a low budget horror film only to turn it into a long-running movie franchise was good fun!

The content is short and there are few special events. I wish there was a streaming system, to make a series or illegally download and give out awards for bad movies.

Very fun in a genre of game I have been waiting a long time for. This game is less narrative but has a nice gameplay balance, it is that classic game dev tycoon mechanic with a movie making universe.

It's a fun game and you'll like it if you liked games in the 'Game Dev Tycoon' genre.
But after you've reached the largest office the game lacks some depth.
I know the game is rather new and I'm looking forward to any updates and new content.

If you enjoyed Game Dev tycoon, this game does a great spin on it! Have you ever wanted to turn your favorite films into puns? If so this game is for you, featuring my 10/10 masterpiece film The Godson Featuring Al Cappucino!

Tutorial is bad... you get some highlights in the ui with some texts. This rezension is after 0.4h of gameplay. The tutorial scared me away. Maybe i will try it later again but for now this is the worst tutrial ever seen.

Nice little game if you like the cinema genre.
I knew it was not a "The Movies" successor, but I missed it so bad that I wanted to try this game.
It has a somewhat similar structure, be a producer, make movies, get rich. The game has a decent base, with a little extras it could had been much better, but mainly its a clicker. Starting from 1970 to present day, it is short in length and does not feel different whether you survive the years with the studio or go bankrupt.
There are not really much characters. You, the producer and some aides you can hire, but no personalities, or kind of anything, just a human shaped pixel figure who sits at the desk and types. When making movies, the directors and actors are not even present, just names on a list. On the other hand, a hilarious list, because they are like their real life counterparts, just a few letters rearranged. For me, it was funny, for a movie-genre aficiando, it could be much more.
Despite being absolute minimalistic, the atmosphere still resonates The Movies vibe. You make movies, try your best to release them, but don't get too attached because you have to do it again and again. Occasionly you even win an award with clever strategy (or lucky guesses), you nod and continue working.
Looks are okayish. Don't expect much. For a clicker, you don't need opulent graphics.
Sound match the visuals. Music is catchy. Totally good for the game.
The game fills... or rather tries to fill a spot where very few games try and for a little while, it manages to do a tiny part.
Though I recommend the game, keep in mind that it is not a "The Movies" successor, rather like a small tribute version of it. If you like the movie industry and small-scale management games, grab it on a sale and enjoy!

I really wanted to like this game, but it's very simplistic. It's more like a matching game than anything else. Combine various categories to make the most money. From making the movies you earn research points to expand your selection. There's no real variations besides to pick high scores across the categories especially when you unlock worldwide distribution. If you want to find a more robust movie making game, you can try The Movies or Movies Tycoon. It's 15 bucks if you want to give it a go.

Very easy game with no sense of progress or achievement. Was very excited for it, but did not live up to expectation at all.
