Hello.
Now that this project is well underway, should we think about doing a common database to share between each other?
The one right now is very expansive, but there´s more that could be added and done. Specially with Marvel and DC Properties.
Also, we should fix the names so that everything is well connected.

I've been working on that myself actually, got a whole bunch of DC and Marvel properties lined up. Plus some solo films and obscure franchises

If I were you, I would wait with any big shared projects. The database structure is likely to change, which will render the current databases unusable.

Fair enough then.
We'll wait for the goods 😂

Oh definitely. It's not in the actual database yet, it's just sitting on wordpad waiting to be entered

I would add much more talents. It feels that it is not enough.
Database is lacking elder actors and actresses who are affordable. It is very hard to find some 50+ y.o. who cost less than 300k. Also, if you are planning to go as far as 2030 in this game, then we need to have more young talents. Everyone famous that we know will get very old by 2040 and only young ones will be suitable for majority of the projects (most of them require middle-aged talents).

If admin needs any help with that, I've got a whole list of actors/actresses who are ready to be added to the database. I've just been holding off due to potential updates. Includes a lot of older actors and actresses from different ethnicites. Younger actors are way harder though, I have some listed but they're harder to really add.
I think the database as is right now is really good though! Great I'd say.

I also have my list of people who are missing but I think the current database is temporary. I believe the full database will be added in the future

The database already includes over 1500 people, which is a lot more than other games had. I do agree with the bias though. Older, younger and non-white actors are underrepresented. True to life I guess, you rarely see these types of people in prominent roles.

True to life I guess, you rarely see these types of people in prominent roles. Exactly. Everybody's got their own favorites and their own hidden gems. It's impossible to get "every" actor and you've already got 1500! Besides, we've got the editor and it's easy to work so everyone can add anybody . I think you did a much better job then other film tycoon games at getting a good range of diversity.
