I tried starting it all over again. Seems to be working.
A question about relationships. Any importance who's named first while creating friendships? For example, I create a friendship for Matt Damon and put him in the left column, then put Ben Affleck in the right column. Any importance there? Also if I later make relationships for Affleck and put him on the left column and Damon in the right, will the existing relationship be erased or will both remain existing?
I also got designs to create around 1200 sources (every movie I regard as "fun to watch" and a lot of Comic, Video Game, Manga and Stephen King Books) and a lot of People. But I remember you saying that it could be problematic for balancing if we create too much. If this just influences the demanded salary I could live with that, I'd just save my created database and use that one, once the game is finished.

I usually go Male first for romantic relationships and older person first for siblings, but the code should work fine either way.
If you two friendship relationships for Ben Affleck and Matt Damon then two will show up in their profile, so you shouldn't do that.
The problem are the dynamic stats. The number of movies the AI makes is (or will be) balanced with the gain and decline of stats. People stats (like Fame, etc.) will go down, if they don't work for a while and will go up again if the get cast for a role. If the database is too big people won't be able to work as much (because the number of available roles stays the same), so their stats will go down...after a couple of years/decades everybody will eventually be zero or close to zero, because there's not enough work around to stop the decline.
At least that's how it worked in the old version. I could try to scale the number of AI movies to the size of the database, but that would be a pretty difficult task.

At least that's how it worked in the old version. I could try to scale the number of AI movies to the size of the database, but that would be a pretty difficult task. Yeah, I get that. It's just that I like to make/start the process on various movies a month (at least in Hollywood Mogul or the other game I forgot the name of). Like start working on a big production every month, with big stars, then a few smaller productions with only 1 or 2 recocgnizable actors to carry the flick, and sometimes just projects with unknowns, akin to the loads of B-C level productions or the rare case where the franchise carries itself. But that's just me and my process. And I love the idea of dynamic stats here, so I wouldn't want to do anything to muck that up, but I really like the idea of taking someone who was just a bit-player in a TV-Show and make them star in the new Fantomex-Movie (just as an example). |

New Question. When creating People with only one name, how do I have to do it, for the Picture? For example, you have Mo´Nique in the database, with a Picture. I tried adding Rotimi (from the Show "Power"), but the picture is not showing up.
EDIT: One thing I noticed. Basically every Person that is marked as "Black" is also marked as "PoC". Is that for a balancing reason? Should I create every black actor as PoC also?

Yeah, No Last Name are tricky to read for the game code. Try adding a Space behind the Name when you name the picture file.
To quote Wiki: The term "person of color" (plural: people of color, persons of color; sometimes abbreviated POC) today is used primarily in the United States to describe any person who is not European American or white. The term encompasses all non-white people
So yeah, if the person is not caucasian you should check the PoC box as well.

Do you have a talent database updated to the correct ages and ratings of actors and actresses updated to 2019? Also missing several talented people, such as Amanda Seyfried or Aubrey Plaza ..
Do you want me to help you?
However super-fantastic work:)

Do you want me to help you? However super-fantastic work:) Amanda Seyfried is already on the database to-do list. I'll add Aubrey Plaza as well, if she's important to you. The game always starts in 2017. That's when I started working on the game, so I have some nostalgic attachment to that date. Changing the starting date will be something I will probably add in the future though. The default Database is based on the year 2017. I'm putting a lot of research into it, but I'm only human so I'm sure there will be some mistakes. Some age might be off by a year or two and ratings... well, they are pretty subjective anyway. However, there's always the editor. That way you can adjust rating if you think I misjudged someone or add people I have overlooked. Heck, you can replace the whole database with actors form the 1950s if you want to put in the time and effort. |

Yes,i know. However don't worry, it seems to me that your ratings are good in many cases  Meanwhile, I started putting people's ratings in an Excel. |
