TEXT-BASED strategy business management simulation
NO GRAPHICS
MINIMAL SOUND
If you are new to the Hollywood Mogul games, please don't make a $300 million sci-fi epic the moment the game's installed. Hollywood Mogul 4 is a fairly complex business management simulation.
Make a few smaller movies first at Difficulty Level 1. Give yourself some time to understand the attribute rating nuances for Visual Effects and Story Scope, genre, and character development, pace, plot twists, sub-plots, and Set Design. Not to mention how those things will relate to the Director's ratings in Perfectionist and Script As Written, On-Budget, and Effects, as well as if it's better to cast the lead role with a talent that has a high Sex Appeal rating but a low Humility rating because their Screen Presence is a little lacking.
Also, the necessary Advertising Budget will bankrupt your studio.
So please don't make a $300 million sci-fi epic right off the bat.

FANTASTIC and ADDICTIVE, but cannot see release dates under studio projects.

Deep and fun movie company simulator, with a great community in which the developer is very active as well.

I've tried my very best to like this, I've waited for the new UI update and changes. But my patience has finally run out, the UI is far too archaic and cumbersome even with the updates. I am a lover of text based simulators but there's just not enough to the gameplay loop to hold my interest and allow me to look past the UI.
I remember wasting hours on the old games from this series, but I couldn’t really justify £16 for this new version. The UI was terrible, especially for the modern era, it looks like a relic of the times, and that was fine some 20 years ago, but it isn’t fine now. I think more work needs to be put into the UI and accessibility to take advantage of the underlying engine and mechanics, but I don’t see that happening, so I don’t recommend the game, sorry.
This is an awesome game for anyone who loves movies. It’s the perfect balance between having enough content while also not being too overwhelming and I also enjoy how moddable it is.
The game is solid. The thing that makes it is the options to make the text and background any colour or size. For me, a guy with sight problems, that's key. The game itself is kind of addictive. The only downside is that the database is all USA based persons.
It's a game of strategy and time. If you have the time to create movies (hiring showrunners, actors, directors, and the money for advertising, among other things), then you can play it. Sometimes tricky, sometimes stressful, but always fun and exciting.
It may look simple but it's probably the best movie based management game/simulation I've played, I've always heard great things about the series and now after finally playing one of the games, I understand why. And I have to give credit to the dev for helping me and fixing my accessibility issue!
Easily the best gd movie sim you will ever play. Period. Easy on the eyes? Heck no. Realistic? You bet your bottom dollar, sweetheart. It is definitely a "settle in and let's play" kind of game. You blink and you'll miss it when it comes to people cast. One thing this game has over its competitors? Developer dedication. Like 2000% more.
