Hollywood Mogul Thread

[MalaCloudy Black]

Meh, I figured it'd be best to have a thread to discuss HM problems/saves/etc similar to the Pokemon thread.

So, first off - How is your save going? I'm 25 million in debt right now (yay.) and releasing an Action/Adventure flick in April 2009.

And what's your biggest surprise film? I let Halle Berry write, produce, and star in a film - I figured it would flop - But I cast Johnny Depp opposite her in the leading male role, Angelina Jolie and Ewan McGregor were the co-stars. The film made just under $70 million in North America and over $200 million overseas (It was an Action/Adventure flick called "Executive Privelege".)

Hollywood Mogul? Is it Freeware or Shop purchase? Any links?

[apsham]

It's a shop purchase I believe, as i've wanted to play it multiple times but don't want to shill out cash for it.

It says here it was released in 1997, but I guess it still holds up today, unless it's an older copy or such. There's also a link to a TV Mogul near the bottom, which would rock also.

Anybody have any suggestions on say, recommended budgets for the different genres? I know I always overpay so that it looks good, but it ends up forcing me into debt.

thats my problem . I always go into depth no matter what i do

[Guest John Cena]

My opinion is that for films like comedies or dramas you should spend anywhere from 30 to 50 mil. As for Action/Adventure and Sci-Fi films, I just throw a ton of cash at it and hope it does well . Horror films require somewhere in between the other genres but I haven't figured it out yet.

it's best to release those in the Summer months too, like June through August.

Hey Cloudy, was it my tip that helped you 'get' (onto) the game?

Well, yes and no. I was talking to lafunk about it and he...found...some...things...for me and I got the game.

[Evil Chase K]

I love Hollywood Mogul, but I can't be assed to pay for it, I'm gonna wait for the new version...

But I hate how the demo runs out.

[CKN]

^^^^same I would buy it but I am buying other things that are more important... like ESPN NHL 2K5 coming out next week :thumbsup:

Anyone know a way to get rid of the trial block so I can play again?

[Guest John Cena]

Only way now is to buy the game.

Like it but not enough to shell out the cash fer it.

Meh, i've cranked about one really great movie out, and it was a comedy that took place in a department store/grocery store where the employee of the month (Seth Green) becomes the hero who saves everyone. He starred alongside some actress I never knew the name of, but all the ones young enough wanted rewrites. The movie was directed and produced by Clint Eastwood, yes it was odd.

Are there any good Talent Files out there other than the one I can get off the message boards?

[Death Before Dishonor]

In my demo, there aren't any real actors. WTF..

[MalaCloudy Black]

Copyright issues, it's just like TEW. You have to download talent files from fansites. You can find a link to some fansites on the HM Board.

Don't worry about self-plugging, it's damn fine by me.

I just had my first bomb to, when the hell did I think a screenplay for a musical based on the Beatles Paul and John was a good idea?

[apsham]

Sorry for the double reply, but i've been able to pry myself away from the game, and i've finally got the hang of it. Best movie ever?

Walking Tall > 1,506,959,000 Worldwide Box Office release.

And Sean Connery retired to go to a nudist colony.

Is there anyway to keep the game fresh after years upon years? I mean, i've been playing so long people are dropping left and right, and i'm not sure how much longer i'll be able to play.
