What do you think the end date is going to be?

[Comrade Cat]

The game obviously has certain named characters like city mayor. police chief etc that play some part in the overarching story, so it wouldn't make much sense to have the end date that is way too remote from 1929. Unless these characters change as the timeline progresses that is. Besides, art deco style that Hollywood Animal goes for won't really look right for the studio somewhere in 80s or 90s. The latest date that can be seen on the screenshots is 1957, so my personal assumption that the end date is going to be either 1959 or 1969 - right before the 70s when SFX had changed movie industry forever. That would give us either 30 or 40 years to play around - a rather respectable timeline for a tycoon like this one.

What's your opinion on the matter?

I truly hope it ends in 1999.

The world history and social events from the 1960s to the late 1990s have created countless wonderful movies. For example, the French New Wave, the American New Wave, the US-Soviet Space Race, the Vietnam War that profoundly changed American society and Hollywood, the emergence of the Internet and VHS, the golden age of rock music, the popularity of cult horror movies, the wave of democratization in Eastern Europe and the collapse of the Soviet Union. The last three decades of the 20th century are really unforgettable.

Movies help us remember both ourselves and our era.

I'm gonna guess the 1950s or 1960s? I am not too good with movie tech, but maybe someone can look into the tech and try to figure out.

2024. It's time to make your own MCU without ♥♥♥♥♥♥ 4-5th phases

DLC could be TV-Production ala HBO and maybe Streaming Services. At some point it would be cool if you could start doing TV-series as well. Maybe reality shows etc, documentaries?

I think 80s or 90s it's huge epoch of filmmaking + we see in thread of technologies we will discovered color lens , so even consider it if we 28-30 years old protagonist - we stop definetely on 80s 90s

[Goku420]

There is a tech for 10 year contracts, I imagine getting a few uses out of those. 1960s

In real life, the studio system falls apart for a short while beginning 1967 so late 1960s is probably my guess.

Scratch that, the game uses a vertical integrated model (studios also own theatres) which means the end date will be 1948 because of the Paramount Decree that ended the practice.

Since the theme of the game is set at around the 30s, I am expecting the game to end logically at the 60s. If the first game sells well, maybe the dev can build upon it to make a sequel that tackles the complexity of 70s Hollywood and onward. With the heightened competition and the influx of popular foreign films.
