Great aesthetics! Very calming setting!
I was a bit confused in the beginning, but after doing 2-3 movies, I just automatically kept trying for 5 stars but never got more than 2 :(
The realism of retiring with $3000 haha
Nice cliche game, the only thing is finding a pattern to best seller title is too difficult, just like the real world.
Interesting! I was a bit confused on how to manage the roles that will fit the themes, but I like the idea of us being scriptwriters that actually have to come up with titles and stuff!
I have always been fond of Game Dev Tycoon style games so I had a great time with the concept of you guessing which role is the most cliché to put the actor on for the specific movie genre even if it is only a simple and short gameplay loop. Since even I (having experience with such games) had a difficult time understanding what would optimize ratings I can immagine a typical player being lost very soon without a lot of tutorials but overall great submission.
really funny, gives a lot of player freedom leading to great gameplay, one of my favorites so far.
Concept is cool though i didn't really understand what i had to optimize in order to win or loose :/ Some signs and feedbacks (especially audio-wise i think) were lacking for me to understand what i had to do i think. On the other hand your graphics were very nice!
Made it with positive 5k.
Learning what my actors are good and bad at was nice touch.
Not sure if intended but it seems like all new posters use Unity's default font when I feel you intended it should be Tipewriter font
Its scary how much this also resembles making games :(
made 12,500 ish. pretty easy game to relax with. I really appreciate the endless mode thank you. I'll be playing more without time stress. Cat lives for 20 years 10/10 game.
Is it even possible to make it? Critics are too picky:D
Amazing artwork, great sound design. Gameplay reminded my of dev tycoon, but more fast-paced.
Good entry and good luck!
Tried my best - but the critics burned most of my work :-( Even after ~30 years I was deep in depts, at one point, a man has to accept reality ... Think I have to create short headlines in a website marketing agency for the rest of my life.
I like your game - it gave me such good memories on a game where you have to create video games in an ever growing company (forgot the name). The art is beautiful, and the ad poster configurator - wow! You even took care of these little details (the fly). Just a beautiful submission.
Why am I so poor writer, haha! But I played with fonts a lot :) Nice game
Hehe this was fun! "Turtles" did so well, but then "Amphibians" was a flop
PS. i clicked on it because there was a cat, so bonus points for cat!
Dang, those are some tough ratings. 0 stars on my second script! Rotten Tomatoes!
I liked to customize my poster!! However, I had some trouble making money haha
I enjoy the surprisingly fast-paced gameplay. I really feel like a man struggling to keep up with all of my debt. The art style fits the theme quite nicely too.
