Hey I have some ideas for this game as well as some ideas for a game.
-
DLC’s: I think that you should be able to create DLC’s. So if you have a military game and you add a car for a racing game you’ll get bad reviews. You must create DLC’s that relate to your topic.
-
Control Time: Be able to pause and fast forward time.
-
Customize Your Office: You’re allowed to add more tables to hire more staff.
Game Idea:
Movie Tycoon: Now this is just a topic that came into my mind. I was thinking how cool it would be to start off in your garage, making videos and uploading them to the internet. As you progress you get partnered (Machinima, IGN, Fullscreen) and you start earning yourself some money.
As you get popular a company hires you and you start making films for them. Once you get around a couple million from that company you quit and start your own studio.
In your studio, you don’t just hire anyone, you have to hire script writers, filmers, actors, stuntmen, editors producers and directors. But unlike GDT, you don’t have permanent workers, during the process of making your film, you must search the ‘market’ for good staff and you sign contracts with them. Once their contract expires you can either, resign them or let them go.
As you grow more and more popular better staff will want to sign with you. In the process of signing a contract with an actor or actress, you must negotiate. If you are wanting to sign an actor but his role in the film is an editor he will reject your offer. If your actor or actress is good at Action film and your genre is Drama, he will sign but your movie will turn out terrible. (The contract bit was something that popped into my mind as I was writing this)
Like GDT, you can select, Small, Medium or Large movie. Small movies are like indie films that are release to movie festivals, medium movies are released to cinemas in small towns and suburbs and large movies are released to every cinema. There will be many awards given out through the years like, Nickelodeon kids/teen choice awards, MTV movie awards etc.
Edit: You can sign contracts with toy developers and they will promote your film eg. Hasbro’s Transformers.
These are just somethings that popped into my mind. The game idea was mostly made up as I was writing.
