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.

WHAT'S STILL HERE FROM HM3

o Choose from more than 100 genres.

o Include Additional Villains like weather, or fire, or insect infestations.

o Set advertising budgets.

o Sign Distribution Agreements and pre-sell your project domestically or in 19 foreign markets.

WHAT'S NEW IN HOLLYWOOD MOGUL 4

o Make movies released in theaters around the world, or straight to a streaming service.

o Make Limited Series up to 24 episodes with 30, 60, 90, or 120 minute running times.

o Choose projects from more than 14,000 source material records, or use your own ideas.

o Every talent record has stats as Actor, Director, and Writer.

o Hire a Talent to act, and also as Director and/or Writer.

o Audition actors from more than 8,000 talent records.

o Follow talent with Stats that increase. Or decrease.

o Hire your favorite talent now, before a box office smash increases their salary.

o Identify Potential Conflicts between the director you hire and the talent you cast in Perfection rating and Script As Written rating. And deal with the Production Problem cost overruns if they don't get along. Because who knows, it might be lightning in a bottle.

o Look for that elusive green dollar sign ($) that tells you the $10 million dollar movie star loves your project so much they're willing to work for just $350,000. Plus a heap of points on the back end.

o Using HM4 Talent or HM4 Source you can now merge databases. You no longer have to create a 10,000 record database all by yourself.

o Set character role attributes and add or delete roles.

o Set production budgets, add Stunts, and Visual Effects or Creature Effects, and shoot in one city or a dozen cities around the world.

I would love to be positive in my review but as an avid and I mean forum using, played every day, obsessed kind of avid HM3 player who ended up working in the film industry because of the game, I would say this one feels like a step back which is crazy given how long it's been.. The concepts and desires are there but a clear lack of user testing and ui/ux focus as well as no guidance or understanding of systems leaves you with little confidence that any choice you make holds any impact.

Can get addictive if you love movies but the software is too volatile and not user friendly at all. I appreciate the effort put in by the developer, but it does not justify the price tag. Maybe in a year or two it will achieve it's potential.

As someone who has never played any other games in the series, I won't lie, it took me a while to understand what was going on. I understand the UI complaints, however, it is very easy to navigate once you know the system, and anytime I thought "Crap, why isn't it letting me do this?" I've been quickly able to find the answer of forgetting to lock in a show runner or forgetting to hire the director. I also really like the fact that you're able to produce TV shows as well, and hope it gets expanded a bit with the rest of the game. I would love to see network deals and multi-season orders or making pilots before being able to make the show itself. The fun of the game is all imagination, and I love that. I like too how its not just "Big Stats = automatic success" so I end up making things I actually think about rather than just spitting out randomized products with big stats like other tycoon games. I've had low-budget movies with more success than blockbusters at times which I think is...
