Dear Movie Fans,
Thanks for your feedback! We've read all of it and created a Roadmap to let you know, which changes will come to the game.

In May, we won't only address the accessibility and clarity, but as well balance, challenge and the tutorial.
In June, we will release more content for you, which allows you to start in the 1960s, as well as research new stuff.

Please keep the feedback coming!

Dear Movie-Fans,
The second Patch for Moviehouse is live now, bringing improved readability and other adjustments, as well as some fixes. This is the second patch based on the great feedback we got from lots of you! We are currently in the process of evaluating the next steps and will communicate a plan for further improvements soon.

• Updated UI elements to improve readability on smaller screens
  
  • Text sizes should be larger across the game
    
  • Increased plot card size in the card deck overview to double the card size
    
  • NOTE: It's possible to adjust the UI scale in the settings, while this is an experimental feature and the UI can overlap in places on higher UI scales, it can help with accessibility. With that said, we'll be keeping an eye out on possible accessibility improvements as we go.
• Slightly increased complexity requirement for productions
  
• Increased difficulty of gaining profit from low quality movies, the penalty increases depending on production size, with Blockbusters having the highest penalty
  
• Reduced research point gain, previously research point gain increased with higher movie craft & creativity, the upper scale has been adjusted to even out the point gain in the later game

• Fixed issue where the player was shown matching plot cards as not matching if the player had previously made a movie where the card didn't match
  
• Fixed loan repayment notification, staying even after loan has been repaid
  
• Fixed issue where media types would produce far too much profit given their customer base (Videotape, Video Discs), these distributions should now produce a slight secondary source of profit with the trade of having to use up a distribution slot as intended.

Dear Movie-Fans,
The first Patch for Moviehouse is live now, bringing performance improvements and Balancing changes, as well as working achievements. This is the first patch based on the great feedback we got from lots of you! We are currently in the process of evaluating the next steps and will communicate a plan for further improvements soon.

• Re-balanced the "Self Distribution" buzz requirement. This should make the self-distribution method more worthwhile, even in the early game.
  
• The "Self Distribution" research is now available earlier, and for "Indie" studios, reduced the research cost from 4 to 2 points.
  
• Changed "Any Genre" research name to "New Genre" to add clarity
  
• Increased employee exhaustion gain to make it to balance the need of maintaining your employees' happiness.

• General performance improvements
  
  • Performance should be better in general, but we can't promise a massive increase for everyone, as we're still investigating the reported cases.
    
  • Some users with edge cases, where the performance was show-stopping, have reported three to four times improvement.
    
  • More performance improvements to follow!
• Steam achievements are now rewarded accordingly!
  
  • NOTE: While the achievement indicator does appear in the game, it is currently offset. This has more to do with how Steam integrates with the game, we're investigating.
• Fixed the same movies being shown in film festivals every year.

Starting from humble beginnings, the goal of Moviehouse - The Film Studio Tycoon is to create a film worthy of being shown in every theater across the world. Simple in theory, yet in-depth and challenging in execution. No one becomes a world renowned director overnight, so you’ll need to start with smaller projects and indie films. If successful, you’ll garner more attention, more praise, and most importantly, more money. More money means bigger productions, bigger productions mean more resources, which in turn leads to better movies.

Those that have worked on a major production know one thing: the devil is in the details. So in keeping with that idea, Moviehouse - The Film Studio Tycoon gives you absolute control over every last minute detail of your productions. Any seemingly small detail is yours to tweak to your liking. Budget on casting calls? Adjustable. Background shrubbery? Freely placeable. Early showing placements? Up to your keen eye for planning. The entirety of your set is at your fingertips.

• The Tides of Change: As the decades pass, both your team and your equipment will improve. Starting off with a small amateur cast and rudimentary equipment, the studio and all those a part of it will mature and hone their skills, while new updates in technology and filming techniques grant the ability for better filmmaking!
  
• Assemble the Dream Team: Hire directors and writers and build up their creative skills, nurturing their creative prowess. A good crew in itself can turn casual viewers into diehard fans!
  
• Hit the Festival Circuit: Showcase your movie in film festivals to build buzz, gain accolades, and garner critical success

Today, together with indie dev Odyssey Studios we excitingly reveal an April 5, 2023, release date for Moviehouse – The Film Studio Tycoon, a new film-making management tycoon that puts you in the director’s chair of an up-and-coming production studio.
You will write, produce, and direct indies evolving into Hollywood’s biggest hits in this new spin on the classic tycoon formula.

Showcased in the new devlog, Moviehouse – The Film Studio Tycoon proves that the devil really is in the details, with the devs showcasing how they went about creating one of the most important yet vastly overlooked pieces of movie magic: the miniature set.

Starting in the 80s where neon and practical effects ruled, and spanning through the decades to the near-real look of current day CGI, players start with a small yet passionate film crew with rudimentary equipment who have one goal: grow the studio into one of the best in the industry and keep it that way for years to come. With an eye for entertainment, pick from a dozen popular film genres and plot the perfect, award-winning storyline. Grow your operation with your razor-sharp business sense and usher in a new era for filmmakers worldwide. You only get one shot to make it or break it, and as they say: if you film it, they will come!
