addedI have a huge problem with moving on in this game. I realized that I always come back and upgrade old mechanics, add small new features, etc. This stops me from completing the game. The game was, in my eyes, already complete last year in December. There was a simple but effective loan system, simple financial system, message bar, technology system, and a movie production loop. But, because I learned so much in those 6 months on game development and got so many new ideas, I decided to continue my work on the game. After all, this game is first and foremost my own passion project.

Today's blog will be a little different from the rest, as you will see.

I wanted to include You more in the whole development process, so I decided to create a blog where I will talk purely about my work on the game.

I have a huge problem with moving on in this game. I realized that I always come back and upgrade old mechanics, add small new features, etc. This stops me from completing the game. The game was, in my eyes, already complete last year in December. There was a simple but effective loan system, simple financial system, message bar, technology system, and a movie production loop. But, because I learned so much in those 6 months on game development and got so many new ideas, I decided to continue my work on the game. After all, this game is first and foremost my own passion project.

I continued my work on the game, and in the last year created:

  • News system

  • Building system

  • Upgraded movie production loop

  • Series

  • Distribution

  • Simple building system

  • Rival studios

  • Market share

  • Improved Loan system

  • Improved Financial system

  • New map (not revealed yet)

  • Historical events

  • Electricity

  • Awards

  • Help menu

  • Production set system

Sneak peek of the current map ;)

I planned the next 5 blogs to be about the in-game movie production loop. Pre-production, production, post-production, distribution. Sadly it does not feel right to post these blogs and completely reveal the main in-game loop, as I don't want to spoil too much. Unless you really want me to post them. I still plan to post at least 2 new blogs about the game progress instead of these blogs, and on schedule, as intended, continue to release more blogs in March. I also hope that the game will be almost if not completely ready by then.

Have a great week! 😊
