Community Insight:
Hello, The game is ok we prefer it more than music star, and they are both good games, but we have a problems with this one mainly 1)The system of apply for movies on the casting access would be great if the was lower energy consumption, like 15to apply for a role and not 25 2) our main problem is when we hire a manager, who does a different job than the agent. The manager u have to pay weekly wages Im ok with that but our problem is that they are supposed to get u endorsement we were so far into the game our agent booking high paying roles and that, but the manager for 5years game time didnt do, anything no angel investment nor any endorsement, and the life becomes expansive if u do have another source of income because the more famous u get the more there is a security risk which can put u in the negative in terms of money.
Hi, Are we able to add picture to the profile social media or a ours bio? Thanks.
Good Features and keeps up with updates.
We need to be able to pay the weekly finances for energy. We cant even negotiate for more money.
Just downloaded this havent played it yet but we know Ill love it like we loved music star.
Love the game but heres the issue, The bigger you get the less energy you have and its hard to promote series in time before the audition and other things are over we were wondering whats the deal with that.
Its fun to play but for some reason we cant get a roll they all either ghost us or decline our audtions we dont know what to do.
Please note we dont mean to Sound harsh but we dont only play this game we also spend real life cash on it This game needs work there is numerous times we wonder if Im even making any progress majority of the movies or series agents book dont do well and that affects your Stats Your other games are great but this one we wonder if you guys are trying to move in another direction to make your games more challenging if so please dont we know A list actors are suppose to make the big bucks But What the B listing Actors are getting is ridiculous we think this games has potential and we really enjoy your other games please we purchased energy in this game and still cant get by we think there obviously problem here.
We dont like how much energy it takes to level up the stuff like movement or the other stuff like that. We think a great update would be were there are more awards than just the Oskars (Oscars) like there could be the Saturn awards or HCA and many others. Could we also start at a younger age. Because we only started getting famous and got an agent when we were 30. Also, could you add instagram maybe? It would diffidently be more fun if we could start at a younger age so that we could upgrade all of are skills earlier.
This game is as good as the music star.
We rarely write reviews but we had to show our support to the developer on this one. We have been enjoying Music Star for a while now and we just started playing this one & so far Im enjoying it. If we had one little thing to change, itd be the way the energy quickly goes down (from the Security threats, annual checkup, etc) and there arent many ways to bring it back up. Other than that, perfect. We appreciate how you constantly update your games and take peoples feedback and we cant wait to see whats coming next for this game.
We love the game but how do we get endorsement and its to make a million dollars in the game.
Great game but the energy drains too much and the annual checkups cause the energy to go down way more often then it goes up.
Every time we try to get a talent agent we cant we have 90s in all attributes but it always says no one interested. Please help.
This game is really a great game, Ive played most of yalls games and most of them are great. But this one does need some help if im honest. First we wish there was a way we could buy out or start up our own production company or we could make our own movies, kind of like Music Star. Also the energy system needs to be fixed or something like it shouldnt take 25 energy just to apply for a movie because if we have say 22 or 24 energy u cant do a movie or anything without having to buy a car or something. Also we dont know if its just because im not a big enough actor or something but im a D list actor we have $222k and 12k followers and most of our traits are pretty high and im applying for TV episodes and stuff and im getting booked and released but we wait a year and we cant get syndication. Its really annoying and im super anxious to see what a syndication is but we cant because we cant get syndications. Lastly we should be able to sign like a contract or something where we get to act in the entire series without auditioning for every single episode. Please fix and look at adding these things we would greatly appreciate it and we think some other people would too.
We thought this would be a better experience than Music Star, but we were mistaken. We assumed it would include many of the same features with added ones as well. However after pouring a few hours into the game it has the same features as Music Star during its original release. Its bland and does little to separate itself from its predecessor. Ive loved all of the previous games, but dont download until more updates have come through.
The game is amazing and we love it, Ive maxed out every trait and will have a max out audition yet cant get booked to save our life. Im a A- and have won many awards but cant land any audition no matter the role. Please fix this because it makes the game very difficult to play given that we have done everything in our control but there seem to be a glitch.
Great game just wish it was free for points to get your avi started.
You should add where we can own our own production company.
We like the struggle of a good game and its definitely a challenge just downloaded it a few hours ago updates soon.
Love this new addition to you library of tycoon games. We have one request that may or may not already be in the works. We would love to be able to own the actual movie studio like we do in music star with the record company. Other than that keep up the incredible work.
In the game im 31 have many awards but still cant get high paying jobs we have maxed out stats went through all the acting classes and only a C list how does that make sense and no matter how much money we give philanthropy stats doesn't move.
We couldnt get a acting job because they never showed up if we could give a zero star we would regular jobs dont last long and they didnt pay enough money no more than 400 bucks for us we played this game for multiple In game years btw its a joke of a game and its never gives jobs ever play if you want to be bored and waste your time no wonder its free because its a joke and a scam dont play.
Its a pretty good game made by the same developers of a game that we very much enjoyed.
We see why u took so long to update music star u goated for these games bro.
Theres a bug where you cant confirm any existing scene for your showreels. Also its too hard to get a lead role in feature films. Im a A- list actor and yet there isnt ever a lead role for feature movie in the casting section and even though Ive won best supporting actor multiple times, we only have 800k followers which isnt realistic.
We love the game and all the other games and have gotten quite good at all of them but this one so far, but Ive only been playing since yesterday lol. The one thing Im wondering is why does the voice and speech skill cost so much more than the other skills energy wise, and is there any better way to increase max energy other than buying very expensive vehicles and paying real money? We felt it was easier in the other games to increase skills to atleast 70-80 and increase max energy without paying real money. Ive gotten all the skills to high 90s right now besides voice and speech which is at 49 and our max energy is about 90 and it costs 100 to go up again.
Wish there was a prestige type system like music star. Needs easier ways to get permanent energy. Properties shouldnt take 75 energy just incase you literally dont have enough energy. All it needs is some tweaks and some new things to do and itll be perfect.
Its really difficult to get high paying roles even with all the lessons and max attributes.
Can u make it where we can have our own streaming services for our TV shows also make it to where we can hire our own production team so writers producers stuff like that marketers.
We were hesitant going in but its actually quite the fun game.
Its very challenging yet very rewarding.
Hello , guys if you could do a Millitary campaign game that would be cool tooo, ranking up making strategies and all its encompassing features.
At first glance, we thought this was going to be a game that would be easy. It retrospect, it actually shows just how tough navigating following a dream can really be. From budgeting your money, finding jobs to maintain while also investing in your dream is totally showcased in this app.
BEST SIM GAME THEY MADE we PLAYED.
Take a while to get recognition and could explain a bit better but overall really enjoy this game and the detail in it.
Absolutely love this game.can you make it so that when making sequels we can edit the names of the movies.Thanks.
This game is amazing and seriously addicting it really pulls you into the grind of trying to make it big in Hollywood. We love the detail and how much effort clearly went into building the star life journey. That said, it does take quite a while to become famous and land significant movie or TV roles. In our own playthrough, we didnt get a show with a solid IMDb score (finally an 8.8!) until we were around 29. Before that, most of our projects had embarrassingly low scores (like 2.8), which made the climb to stardom feel extra slow. Another thing Id like to see improved is the money system. Right now, even as an A-lister, Im earning about $200k on average per project. In real life, top-tier actors pull in $10 million or more per film, so the payouts in the game dont quite reflect the reality of what being a superstar means. Lastly, the overall difficulty feels like its locked on hard mode. It would be great if the devs added Easy, Medium, and Hard modes so players can choose how quickly (or slowly) they want their fame and fortune to build. Overall though, the game is really good and highly addictive. It just needs a few tweaks to balance the grind and rewards. Thanks for making this looking forward to future updates.
Film and TV reviews peak at 6.6.
We are currently addicted to this game. Its so good. We think it would be cool if we could syndicate our studio shows and movies so we can get royalties from it. UPDATE nvrm we just didnt have a good movie that made people interested in purchasing it originally. We got it now. Great game.
This game is amazing, and its even better that there are no ads. We hope you guys update it soon.
This is a great game! We did some of the in app purchases but with no ads in the game to begin with, we had no problem with that. With your grant you have to be patient. Auditions are easy to get but actually getting the role is hard. You really feel like an actor in this game. Take classes to better your talent and youll eventually go far. We never get tired of this game.
This game is very well thought out and executed. This and the Author one are our favorites so far. Great work.
We can only hope you make more we know it takes time but a football, athlete, business construction all would be great please make more before 2026.
This game is amazing, and all your other games are as well. But, either Im not good at this game, or its kinda difficult to get a studio. So a game where you start with a studio like Film Studio Simulator or something, that would be pretty nice.
We want added genres like teen drama, soap opera and etc. We also want movie sequal updates and story arcs and midseason finales. We also want planned show endings. Please review this. Could you also add episode numbers being like 13 episodes to 27 episodes to make it feel like a real life tv show season. Could you also do a crossover with the book game so that books can be turned into movies or tv shows and could you add broadcast channels on here.
We like how the game is going just takes a it to get going and we like that.
When we first saw this game and thought it looked intriguing and fun but after starting it, you really dont have a chance out of the gate when you level your characters abilities and grinding through it..wish the developers would make it a little easier for the player instead of trying to make you pay for the possibilities that your character will get further along, instead of auditioning and getting ghosted or rejected let the player make indie films.
Its a great game no other issue but for the love of god has anyone figured out marketing.
This is what Ive been waiting for thanks also why are some of our movies not doing well and need a billion budget also what is the max of studio stays we think we have a bug where it max out at 20.
