Looks great! Would love to help. I've been playing HM3 lately, I never get tired. It's great to make the game more accessible, but I also hope we don't lose the complexity of HM3 Keep going!

luis -
in your mind WHAT constitutes 'the complexity' of HM3?
Thanks, HMdesigner

Hollywood is one of the best games I ever played. One of my favorites. Only HM had the details I ever wanted for a videogame, allowing me to fine tune a movie production. I short, this is the game I never knew I needed. Thank you and hope to play HM4.

Looks great HMdesigner. I'm looking forward to this. I've been playing some version of Hollywood Mogul for nearly 30 years (since I was 8 years old, if you can believe it). It was one of the first PC games that made me fall in love with computers in general. I owe a lot to this game. As you need any feedback, feel free to reach out to me. I'll try to keep coming back here for updates, but I'm looking forward to joining the Discord. That's where I do most of my online interaction nowadays.
Thanks for your hard work, HMdesigner.

Thank you. It's always humbling when I hear that. Someone playing for years and years and years. Thank you for playing. I appreciate it. I'm glad you've enjoyed my work for so long.
Discord ... another debate I've been having with myself for weeks. I agree that Discord is good for immediate feedback and interaction ... but it is HORRIBLE as a repository. And I know many moguls have used the old HM3 forums as a repository of strategy tips, or a place to make suggestions, or brag about a big box office hit ... all of which would be impossible to find on Discord.
Discord offers 'forums' now ... and I've been playing with it a little, testing it out ... and it's ... okay. But it isn't really searchable the way a forum is, and it's not really intuitive the way a forum is.
In addition, the Discord forums (to my knowledge) are not 'searchable' by the great google bots that spread information around the world. So five years from now, you'll be able to do a search for: "HMdesigner + google bots that spread information" ... and it will link to this post. Nothing said on Discord will appear, even if I put that in my Discord profile.
That means that a traditional community forum is required, with Discord used for immediacy, perhaps, or a place for you guys to hang out on voice channels. Someone even suggested that one player could 'host' the game and share their screen, and nine other players could join in on the voice channel and shout out their moves when it was their turn. A type of ass-hat multi-player game.
There willl be a Discord server. But I think the real meat of anything HM4-ish has to be in a community forum. But it's all going to be subscription-based now ... In January I'll be 65. I'm retired. And I'm done with trolls and spammers.

Very cool! I just turned 40, and I've been playing the HMS-series on and off for years or even decades(?). It's unique, and I don't think there is another game like this that I always come back to. It would be more accessible on steam. And maybe someone on here can reach out to youtube-gamers, that stream "new" games, that's good advertising and reaches many potential new gamers. Also, don't hate me for this, but ChatGpt might be a helping tool for suggestions and such as well. I thank you mr. HMdesigner for your hard work and dedication on this new game! I wish it all the best, and I know it takes time. May it be the best installation yet.
