Box Office Sim 4+

Very fun but have 2 complaints

I love this game and have been playing for a while now! This game needs 2 things to make better and get that 5 star;
1) Have contracts for its actors so I don’t have to worry about replacing the actors every 2 movies in the series. This would make it so much easier to cast for movies and continue the series.
2) I would also like to see a change in how popular the movie is along with the inflow of money from it. An example will be the series I have in the game right now. It is currently and action-adventure movie series and it has an average profit of 1.4 billion. It has taken me 7 movies to make the popularity 80 and the money is staying the same. I would like to see the popularity of movies grow faster like they do in the real world. Looking at the hunger games movies; after the 2nd movie it was making huge money and popularity was super high. I’m just saying I would like to see some movie series jump up in popularity early on!

Overall Great Game but has Gamebreaking Bug

Box Office Sim is one of the top sim games on the market. The game is complex enough to make it very interesting and hard to instantly master but at the same time not too overwhelming. I’ve seen some people complain there’s not enough instruction but I personally don’t get it as their is a info button present for each tab explaining what’s going on. The only problem with the game is the bugs. People are supposed to have ages in this game but from what I’ve seen, everyone stays at age 46. Another problem is that as the years progress, basically every movie is considered a blockbuster which means that no movies are eligible for the independent film awards. The worse bug of all is that the save file can get corrupted which basically ruined the entire game for me as I was on year 9 and my backup save was from year 1. Unfortunately until they can fix the save error bug, I can’t really play it.

Developer Response ,

Thank you for the review!
In the newest update (which should be out today) the age bug has been fixed and studios will release more smaller movies over time.
The save file bug should also hopefully be fixed with new games.
If you still have issues it would be helpful if you could email me at alecjaco1@gmail.com, along with the error message it gives you.

Thanks,

Great Game Just A Few Things

Let me say I love these kind of games. I was just looking for a game and this popped up. So I started. I’ve been playing for about an hour so I know if a game of fun or good. And I have to say this one is. It is a bit tedious and can fell repetitive but it has so many choices to pick from you can’t forget it. My only problem is the franchise I made. I made a move that got double the amount it took to make so I made a Sequel. The first movie had a 97 rating on it but the second had a 95. Which we all know sequels never are as good as the original. But this one barely made more to 20 million more that it took to make. This really is my only problem. I would maybe like an answer or maybe a fix? But ads are really limited and this game is really fun.
