The Executive - Movie Industry Tycoon

As someone that loves Game Dev Tycoon and was looking for something similar to play but for movies, this game really fulfilled that itch. Gameplay is really addictive, and it's fun getting to unlock and experiment with different features and combinations. Cross analysing trends for genres/themes and carefully planning your release window provide an additional layer of strategy that I really enjoyed when producing the films I wanted to make, especially with the way I like to play where I try to recreate/reimagine existing songs, games, etc. as films. Deciding whether a film was going to be made for the masses or for the artistic integrity/critical reception (or both) via the commercial and critical reception of the talent you hire was also a feature I really enjoyed when making my movies. It's just a shame that further development of the game seems to have been abandoned, cos it becomes clear the more you play that it's unfinished and that the devs intended for there to be more features and fine-tuning (as another reviewer pointed out, the competitive analysis trait, which is "in development" in-game, is basically useless). It would've been cool if they added more story elements every few years or so to go beyond 2020 to reflect the current trends in cinema, kind of like Game Dev Tycoon and their updates including the PS5 and the Xbox Series X. Streaming and video-on-demand would've been a nice ancillaries addition for the later years, as releasing a film on home media in the late 2010s just feels wrong when your game's reflection of consumer trends has mostly been accurate up until that point. I also wish there was a bit more variety in the reviews your movies get as there doesn't seem to be any alterations for genre combinations, which kinda kills the immersion for me a bit. i.e. one review will be talking about one genre, while another review will be talking about the other. I'm also a bit disappointed that you're limited to both the same genre and theme when making sequels or prequels, as changing at least the genre and having those changes reflected in the critical and commercial reception of that movie could've given players the chance to be innovative or experimental with their franchises, which could've made for some interesting gameplay (i.e. think 'Joker' or 'M3GAN' for example and how their sequels completely flipped the script and impacted audience reception). For what it is though, The Executive is a really fun and well-made game that was developed with a lot of love for cinema. If you loved Game Dev Tycoon or are into these sorts of games, definitely recommend grabbing whenever it's on sale!

It's a decent game, but Hollywood Animal is much deeper. Within 6 hours I've already achieved half the goals and it could've been more if I would've tried. After 3 or so hours it gets very grindy.

Un opus sur la création de jeux vidéo et l'évolution de l'industrie serait fou. Les développeurs respirent, à mon sens, la passion et, en tant que cinéphile (amateur) je trouve que le jeu est rempli de très bonnes idées. Le jeu est fondamentalement très juste, les enjeux sont réalistes et adaptés à l'univers ainsi qu'aux règles que le cinéma nous impose, l'évolution époque par époque, l'impact de vos choix héhé et ainsi de suite. Je suis complètement fan, et la direction artistique du jeu est par ailleurs vraiment agréable ! Continuez comme ça, Aniki Games ! 👏

It's a fun enough game. It isn't super deep and you tend to run out of things to futz with after a certain point, but it is fairly fun for what it is. It's a lot like Game Dev Tycoon but the research system doesn't feel too grating. The fact you can work on multiple movies at once is a massive step up from others of the Tycoon genre where you have to do things one at a time. The ancilliary market also propping up my studio is a nice feature since you don't have to worry about making sure your movies have the highest ratings ever, all the time. Solid for the price.

[h2] Interessante [/h2] [hr][/hr] É um tycoon legal e criativo. É interessante conhecer, mesmo que superficialmente, como funciona o fluxo da indústria do cinema. A campanha é curta, começando nos anos 70 até 2020. Conforme as décadas passam, o jogo mostra marcos interessantes que revolucionaram o cinema até os dias atuais, justificando assim que coisas que funcionavam lá atrás, não funcionam mais e a indústria tem sempre que se reinventar. Mas nem tudo funciona tão bem, a interface torna alguns recursos confusos e difícieis de se entender e é uma pena que alguns deles praticamente não agreguem nada à gameplay. Ainda assim, dá para se divertir bastante em pelo menos duas campanhas. Na primeira você aprende o jogo. Na segunda você aplica os conhecimentos e faz as coisas funcionarem de verdade. Depois disso, tudo acaba ficando repetitivo e o jogo perde boa parte da graça. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3731154519

Wonderful concept, and I can see the devs wanted to make something cool, but can't recommend this to a tycoon fan. The depth is minimal, and the skill cap is low. It doesn't try to deviate from the mad games tycoon/game dev tycoon formula much.
