More Actors in a Movie

[coprax30]

I haven't played that far yet, but I find the limitation of 3 actors per film very annoying. Will there be a researchable upgrade at some point in the game that allows you to use more actors in a film? If not, I would be happy if the game makers added this.

[Billytking]

yes i agree, need more actors and more stunt people

That's also a nice to have, I hope that developers hear us, because the game is going great so far but still needs a few improvements

You can have as many actors as you want so long as you only use three at a time...... ;)

Just identify you are using hundreds of actors in each movie.

They need to fix the housing problems first. With only five 5 star homes and barely more 4 star homes (which do nothing for 5 star staff anyway), the game will be difficult to manage. I already have to only shoot scenes early morning because by lunch time the 5 stars are 0 happiness which drastically affects the scene quality.

Housing may be limited because of memory usage/allocation issues? People are having issues with the present setup as is.

Why do they need homes at all? It seemed just tacked on in the demo. If it's a limitation that doesn't add much to gameplay, scrap it.

I would imagine to have another avenue to adjust economic conditions.....and not have characters roam the studio and street front day and night.

it's a limitation that they themselves have added, and it's pointless.

Just curious as to how you would know given your profile indicates you have Zero hours played on the released version?

Would "extras" satisfy?

Would certainly help.

Thank you for your suggestion! Right now three actors are going to stay because changing it now would severely affect the balance of the game. Each actor has stats and traits that affect the game rating.

Even "extras" make sense (people who don't have speaking roles).
Back in the day a part of popularity of a movie had to do with how lavish it looks on the silver screen, early movie goers loved that, and lots of people involved in scenery certainly plays into that. Think of DW Griffith's productions or those early works showing off historic settings. There is even a term for it, a genre of its own: "Ausstattungsfilm" or "spectacle film" which of course are the exclusive because expensive class big studios defined for themselves.

[SVEIN]

Yeah I need more actors than just three lol
