pre-production feedback

[Monarchco]

Anyone think we should get some kind of feedback on if a production priority setup section was good or bad? Just giving a single rating for the entire setup is WAY too vague to possibly try and improve on.

While the movie is in production, you can see how the priorities are doing by observing them in the production office.
After releasing a movie, you can see it again in the overview menu.
And in this weeks update, we are adding movie reviews, some of which will tell you if some priority was wrong.

there needs to be some way to track this for future reference. It shouldnt be something the player has to screenshot or remember IMO.

I've screenshot my settings, saved it, filmed movie, screenshot right before the settings go away(most of the time), reloaded my save, made proper adjustments, filmed, and..... stuff changes. I'd have things set to 75% the first time, red line goes past it, I adjust it to 100%, line MIGHT get to 50%-ish. Frustrating as crap how some change every time. Only thing that changed before starting filming the second time was my sliders.

Hi, thanks for the report. We went through the scenario you described and we found an issue. The bars didn't scale correctly when the actual error was small, making the bars appear bigger than they should be. Fix is coming up in the next update. Thank your for helping us with this!

I think the sliders need to be fine tuned. Made a medium movie (horror-ghost) and it filled up the humor slider all the way 1/3 of the way into the film. That don't seem right to me.

Yeah, that threw me off too. For horror, tension you would think would be high, but it's low. Humor you would think would be low but is high. Then you adjust for the next horror movie and it's vice versa.

What actually IS the feedback? Does the red mean you met the requirements you set and are good to go? Is the space left to go bad? From what I'm understanding, both of those are true, as I get the red on sliders set to 100%, and on the more space I have in the sliders at the end, it seems the worse my star rating is for pre-production.

I have a production office level 2 where I can film two movies at the same time, and the priority progress during filming is not showing up on the floor/screen areas of the office.
