Your suggestions for the Source Material Database!

I'm currently expanding the Source Material Database. Want to help? Head over to this thread in the forums and tell me which works and franchises absolutely have to be included in the Alpha.

AI Sequels

Today I bring you a small but much wanted feature: AI Studios now produce Sequels of their successful movies!



One thing I can strike from the To-Do-List.

Road to Alpha

Most of you might already know that I'm planning on releasing a Alpha/Demo Version of the game soon-ish so you guys can keep busy while I work on the TV Show Feature.

For those of you interested I added a To-Do-List to the Forum Thread, so you can keep up with my progress:

I also have another small update:
I reworked the Open Audition Feature. You now no longer get to see the complete stats. Instead you'll get a short summary that will give you a rough idea about this persons stats.





Even more important: I finally got around to implementing the dynamic development of stats.
Working on successful, well reviewed movies will improve fame, experience and skills while flops will decrease the stats. How big the effects are will depend on a persons talent. A very talented person will develop much quicker.
Not working at all is also bad as fame now decreases with every month. 
Getting nominated or winning an award will boost stats.
Attractiveness will also change throughout a persons life, increasing during puberty and the early twenties and declining after a certain age. 
I did several long term (5-10 years) test runs and it's really interesting to see how some people rise to the top while others fail.
The game is really starting to feel like a realistic movie business simulation...

Tiny Update

In light of the upcoming Oscars I made a small adjustment (that took an awful lot of time to code) to the award system. Nomination are now also listed in a persons profile and give a small fame bonus. It feels right... bein nominated for an Oscar is still a damn big achievement, even if you don't win.



In preparations for the demo version I also started working on the DVD feature and as always work on the database continues. There are now over 3800 movie titles and over 1000 persons in the database.
I'm trying to figure out a way to export and import database files, so you guys can create and share stuff if you want to.
