Just spit balling
For me, unfortunately I'm at a stop and wait. The game just doesn't offer much for me. I'm a billionaire in 1935. I guess I've won the game.

Few things.

1) Get rid of the house/map feature. I'm not sure what this is supposed to offer, but a headache is all it does currently. If this must stay, I would like it to change from doing the whole go to the map, click the house, chose the character, then click rent. Then after 1 movie, do the whole thing again when the star wants a better house. Have the studio have to buy a property, so in the 20's, 1 star $6000, 2 star $8 k, 3 star 10 k, 4 star 50 k, 5 star 100 k and have prices of these go up 3% each year. So money becomes more important in the game and if you want to keep your stars happy, it's going to cost money to do this. And it can get away from this weird only 5 5 star houses.

2) Can the whole low, medium and high quality food just be changed? I don't understand the point and I don't think there is any fun in this. It makes no sense that you have to research better quality food. Why not just be able to research better quality cooking equipment like stoves? Or better yet, just put better cooks in your hiring options? So a low quality cook can do low quality meals, and he's paid less. While better cooks, who can do medium or high quality would cost more, maybe even need a house. Obviously, when you can, you can send cooks to train and get better. Again, just make it so better things cost more, things like quality of food shouldn't need to be researched.

3) Happiness. So you are super star actor, been given a raise to double your salary, star in all the movies, win all the awards, live in a mansion, the studio is been given the award as the best...but my happiness will bottom out to 10% by the end of the work day...because...the food quality isn't good enough. Happiness I hope is something else that is balanced. I already gave my 2 cents about the food quality feature of the game, but there needs to be things that improve happiness. Like I added a lounge, why does this not give a boost to happiness when it's being used? Why is the a pool? Why add this if this doesn't give a happiness boost? There is a jukebox, Foosball table, etc why? What do these things do? Why not give a happiness boost?

I do really like the idea of the game, but I do look forward to seeing if the game gets any updates to improve it.

Awesome feedback, big thanks for taking the time to help us make the game better!

We are definitely aware that the game is too easy now and are working carefully to address it without breaking the balance altogether.

We release pretty much two updates a week so things will get better gradually. I hope you stick around!

I agree completely that the house feature needs to go if it can't be implemented without causing significant problems. Just work the additional price into the cost of the actor. Anything that detracts from the movie-making part of the game should be examined to determine if it's really contributing anything to the gameplay.
