NOTES
Can you handle Hollywood!
You have just been appointed the head of a new Movie Studio and
have been given 10 years to make it the most successful studio
around. You are up against seven other computer controlled Studios
all trying to be the best Studio in the world. You are judged in
three ways - most turnover, most profit and most awards.
As the Studio Boss you have lots of decisions to make, including:
controlling the budget, deciding what type of film you are going to
make, hiring a scriptwriter, getting the best director, trying to
get the screenplay right, negotiating with the stars, handling
problems on set, getting the post-production right and that's all
before you worry about the cinema release. You've got marketing
costs, web publicity, test screenings, how many screens to show the
film on, when to hit the International markets, when to sell it to
TV, how long before you put it on DVD and much, much more!
Features:
- Turn based (each turn represents a week), yet has time pressure.
Players have around 10 minutes to make all their decisions each
turn and can end the week early if they want.
- More than one way to win. Bosses can win by being the best at
making high turnover, profitable or classic award-winning films.
- Each section of the game is designed as a mini-game' in itself.
- Success is firmly in the hands of the player. Decisions they make
(and they have many to consider) always affect their box office.
- Covers pretty much the entire movie making experience.
- You are up against seven other computer-controlled players.
- We keep the numbers sensible - you do not see $1,067,345 ever in
our game. Just $1M. This helps to keep the game from looking too
much like a spreadsheet.
The Game s History
Back in the late 90s I thought it would be fun to create a game
about running a Movie Studio in the style of a soccer management
game. This genre is one I know well having worked on Atari ST/Amiga
games like Kenny Dalglish Soccer Manager and Gazza's Super Soccer
it's hard to believe that these titles are now over 25 years old!
So Movie Studio Boss was born and released around 2001 on our
experimental website/shop PlaceforGames.
Jump forward to 2014 and I thought it would be fun to get back into
writing games again. So what to do first? I thought it would be
sensible to update some of my old titles and as Movie Studio Boss
was always a favourite I thought I'd start with that one. Movie
Studio Boss is certainly showing it's age I'm pretty sure
Hollywood doesn't release too many titles on video now! Plus
technically it's screen resolution was fixed at 800 x 600 which
looks like a postage stamp on modern computer screens. So MSB The
Sequel it is. My old artist friend Gary agreed to collaborate and
Movie Studio Boss has been updated.
Besides giving me the chance to get it to run on screens which have
larger resolutions there's lots of technical benefits including
improved audio (players of the old game will be pleased to note
that the tunes I wrote have been replaced with a great score from
some new friends Guy, Tim & Bradley) and the ability to have more
people on screen. In MSBTS every film has a Production Assistant
who will dress in a costume relevant to the film and will walk
around the Studio letting you know what stage of production the
film is in.
As well as updating the gameplay introducing Blu-ray and updating
the financial model and pretty much all the graphics I got the
chance to add in new features; animated films, musicals, age
rating, personnel profiles, more detailed film credits, more
reports, notification icons and more.
1. Unzip & Unrar
2. Run Setup.exe for install
3. Have Fun!!!
