As promised, here is a list of planned features and improvements:
-TV Shows
-Your own streaming network where you can show both your own productions and movies and show from other studios (if you bought the rights)
-Movie posters and the ability to upload your own image
-Pictures (from a ai generated database) for artists generated in-game (instead of the placeholder).
-An achievement system (like steam has).
-AI studio created/owned franchises and the ability to sell and buy franchises to/from ai studios.
-At least one more award (probably Palme d'Or)
-Of course there is a whole bunch of smaller features or improvements I have in mind or I'm at least considering (many of the things you guys have suggested so far).
Things that I don't want to add:
- Exclusively contracting artists to your studio. While this was common in the early days of hollywood it's not really happening anymore (according to my research). if someone can show me a source that that still happens on a regular basis, I'm okay with adding it.
- Detailed contract negotiations. I know this is popular with some of you, but I hate playing these kind of things in other game and I really, really don't want to program it in my own game. It doesn't fit the vision I have for the game, so don't expect to much.
Feel free to comment, discuss ask questions and suggest your own ideas!

HERE ARE MY IDEAS:
-add the possibility of an autocast not individually but of the entire cast of the film,
- in the sequels add the possibility to hire the actors of the previous film, without having to click on them every time. In my opinion they should be by default.
-add the reviews for each cast member, so as to understand which actor I have to fire in the sequels
-if you add pictures for artists generated in-game, the game could have an infinite duration
-the possibility of seeing if a film has won an award
-add the razzie awards (winning one of them could lower the statistics \ attractiveness)
-divide box office into domestic and foreign (perhaps as in showtime where it is divided into continents)
-see box office of every film of a franchise, not only globally
At the moment I have no other ideas, the game is wonderful and I can't wait to see how work TV Shows and streaming network.

Are you planning to add any of the following?
- Bigger slush pile or spec scripts
- A way to discern between quality of spec scripts
- Award nominations
- A re-editing process with test screening
- More genres: war/ historical or period/ western
In terms of contract negotiations, I totally get the desire to not complicate things. Would negotiating an actors salary be at all possible as a way of cutting down costs?

Yes.
The price is a rough indicator, although no guarantee. But I think that's a feature that might be expanded a little in the future.
Not really possible with the way the code is set up.
Hm... maybe. There is already an event for it, but I think it might work as a proper feature (similar to the way rewrite work, maybe?)
No. I never liked the unnecessary amount of super specific genres ans subgenres that ultimately had little to no influence on the movie. I don't want to add choices just for the sake of choices. Every decision you make should be meaningful. War is represented as a topic. Historical/Period and Western is represented by the era and setting. The choices are not cosmetic. The game will handle a movie differently if it has a historical setting (for example a low costume budget will result in a quality penalty).

-Your own streaming network where you can show both your own productions and movies and show from other studios (if you bought the rights) ... -At least one more award (probably Palme d'Or) YES YES YES PLEASE! About things not to be included in the game, I absolutely agree with Admin! I know that it was mentioned hundred times, but I will say again... I would like to have a historical game option, where we can start this game as yearly as beginning of 20th century like it is in OOTP games. In my opinion, it will be a bomb to have an ability to rewrite the whole film history in this game. Also, it would be cool to have all the important talents from back in times to be able to play in movies. One thing is to see someone like Chris Pratt in your film, but another thing is to have Marlon Brando in it! There are many great talents that we have today, but no one is as huge as Audrey Hepburn, Marlene Dietrich and Orson Welles. |

At least letting us see the topics / tone / script point allocation.Not really possible with the way the code is set up. Hm... maybe. There is already an event for it, but I think it might work as a proper feature (similar to the way rewrite work, maybe?) This would feel a lot better and more fleshed out / realistic to me.No. I never liked the unnecessary amount of super specific genres ans subgenres that ultimately had little to no influence on the movie.

Maybe make it to where you can make a franchise before making the movie, and let us make movies for the franchise that are freestanding and not directly connected to another movie in any notable way?

Love hearing about the possibility of another award show like the Palme d'Or. I agree though, a Razzie award would be fun to see haha. Maybe unnecessary but fun nonetheless and cool if it lowered fame or some other trait/traits.
Also, I know you've heard this suggestion a lot, but reviews for cast members would be awesome. I can imagine that might be pretty difficult though.
Very excited for everything to come to this game. It's already a blast to play. Thanks for all your hard work admin

As a suggestion if you will decide to have another film awards (besides Cannes), SAG Awards is also a good one and might be convenient to make because it has only 5-6 categories (for movies). The coolest part is that one of categories is an award for Ensemble Cast, which means that every single cast member of the movie (that won Ensemble Cast award) will get automatically this award. This way, even non-known and not-talented actor/actress can win something if they happened to be in the winning film.
Another idea is Spirit Awards, which awards more independent low-budget films.
And as jdrake687 mentioned, Razzie would be lovely as well.
This way, we cover everything and everyone!!! We already have Oscars for big names and big productions, Globes for actors/actresses in genre field, Saturn for movies in genre field, Cannes for prestige, SAG will cover no-name actors/actresses, Spirit will cover low-budget gems and Razzie will award trash! No-one is missing this way!

maybe you could sign talent to like a 3 picture deal. to like right and direct or act. their is something in Hollywood currently called a first look deal. were actor can bring a project to a studio they have an agreement with if the studio likes the project they make it. if the studio turns it down the talent can bring it else were. hence the name first look deal. this would ad some cool depth to the game. look into it. also maybe a more genre's like western.

That ensemble cast award is a cool idea. Honestly I feel like you could even just add it to one of the other award shows(Though I don't know if any of those actually have one themselves). To me though, having an award that isn't actually on the real awards show isn't a big deal at all.

Please if your gonna add TV shows you have to add the emmy's and it would be perfect because of the wide selection of awards and the direct focus on TV shows I think it would be really cool

That's what the spin-off option is for. I actually kinda like the idea. Would open up a lot of fun possibilities. I like the idea, I really do. The start date is hard coded to 2017 at the moment, but that something I could change with a bit of effort. The only issue is the database. I don't know enough about the history of film to make a big enough historical database. I'm still considering adding legendary actors as a reward for achievements, but when I proposed that a while back you guys didn't really liked the idea (I guess because it breaks the immersion?). Although I could make it optional. |

Thanks. As far as I know, Nolan does not seem to have a exclusive contract with WB, he just knows they will let him do, as he pleases, and they know his film make them money. Frequent collaborators, but I don't think there's an exclusive contract between them. Adam Sandler seems to be pretty much the only one under a exclusive contract with Netflix. |
