I"m hooked! This game is immersive, its a highly polished experienced, I love the theatrical elements and the strategy involved. I love building the movies and the story engine of a game this is. The posters are a cool idea. The potential to continue to grow is amazing.


Things I would like to see (and maybe they already exist):

Character creation - the characters are quite amazing right now, there are many different looks. They're not infinite, but definitiely deep enough to keep you interested. I would like the ability to create new characters. In the game Wyldermyth there is a nice character creation system that allows you to cycle through the different elements on the character. It would be great to have that.

New talent more often - currently it seems you ride or die with your original talent pool. I would like to see more of an influx of younger stars.

the ability to acquire artistic or superstar status - i haven't done this yet and not sure if its available

More customization and/or randomization of talent names - it would be nice to change names.

Randomization for posters - let us random the options in case we don't like the first set.

Simplified screens - negotiations are tedious with the loading screens. For example when an actor approaches me for a contract renewal it should be possible just to renew their contract similar to how we do with executives. Then if you have multiple actors with expiring contracts you have to go through those transition screens every time.

More music variety - soundtrack is nice but limited

A studio view where we can see our whole studio at once, without time stopping - As is, I have to scroll on the screen to keep an eye on all projects...i guess i could try to keep everything closer together, but a birdseye view of the studio while the day is running would be good.

More pressure in the late game - it seems right now that if you know the basic starting strategy its hard to lose. Salary increases could probably be higher especially for really good talent.

New phases and challenges - i know this is coming, and i trust the development team to continue to please here. Hopefully we will see more females in certain roles, and actors of color.

Security fix - Security is tedious and meaningless right now - why do individuals need security? its hard/impossible to predict who is going to beat up. security on set makes sense, as does security for the studio, but the way it works right now, I am not really sure what I'm doing with security. There seems like maybe a lot of development left to be done on security, but I am not even sure what to do with them right now. Even just having the ability to hire security on the fly or through a talent screen would be nice.

Rehab for addicts and education/training for racist, sexist folks

More artistic qualities or the ability to have them learn. I can't fulfill Boutique acheivement because there are not 5 artistic actors (several have died).

Overall, a sweet game. I'm so glad you all are working on this.
