It's good, potential is there, but gets old fast

[chaddid]

I do like the game, I do see a good end of the road for this game and I appreciate the work put into this current state, but man, it does get old fast currently.

Few things, I'm failing to understand what the point of the game is right now. Once you start winning awards, it's over. The next movie you make just simply makes money a non factor.

I'm in the 20's, I don't see any way to increase the quality of meals, yet my top director and actors all get upset about the low quality meals.

When I'm not making a movie, why are directors and actors just standing around? Why is there nothing to have them go out, promote them selves, promote movies, promote the studio, go to a top quality party with other A listers or other people of their stature? This could cause more friendships with other actors/directors. Maybe some enemies too, so you have other conflicts to think about. Maybe have actors/actresses have a goal to be better than another like winning awards and things like that.

I made a pool, I put outside paths, I put tables and chairs out side, why do these computer people not interact with any of that. They don't walk on paths, or they do, but most of the time, they just walk anywhere. They don't go in the pool, they don't sit on any chairs, all of this is just cosmetic?

The reviews? Pointless. Same thing over and over again. Terrible reviews on my 80 rated movie and in 1921, it comes out and the opening month, 2.7 million. Also, this movie was my directors 5th movie, yet the 1 review says it's his debut.

I'm just hoping updates come out and continue to make the game more immersive as this grind of hiring, waiting for research points, make the same movie, over and over again, make a bazillion $$ and that's it, this gets pretty old fast.

I can (possibly) answer one of your issues.

You need to add a block of "Leisure time" to the work schedule for NPCs to use the pool and congregate in social areas. This leads to more interactions between actors, etc.,
Supposedly, as the talent develops better relationships the reviews get better and there's a chance that rivals will approach your top talent.

Except for the congregating during "Leisure," I haven't seen any of this actually happen in game...

I have leisure time. A schedule is pretty easy to figure out. They talk, they interact with each other. Nobody uses the pool, nobody sits at out door areas. They all stand around, sit to eat and that's it. I want to see someone jump into the pool at leisure time or "anything" time. I hope rivals happen, think Bette Davis and Joan Crawford, or Arnold and Sly. I hope the game adds some things like this, you know, a little more life.

research higher quality foods, then change it in schedule. Its un-intuitive that they put food quality in a SCHEDULE. Doesn't make much sense, but whatever, setting is there.

Where did you get a pool in the 20's?
