Thank you for finding an actual, important bug! Thanks to your post I have fixed it quickly and re-uploaded the game. Now when multiple productions are running, and one has a production issue the player needs to resolve, the other movies go through the development stages without problems. Everything should work by now and you should be able to go on with your game. BTW, thanks for playing!
I had 2 productions being released so running at same time. Could get the last pop screen showing results for one production while the other production ended silent(no pop screen only result cash added to account )
which went silent ? I think the second was shown and first was not
(checking values before / after I ended up with a 4k missing which should be an issue fee pop up I never saw, yea pretty much a pop up window display issue altogether ...)
** Roughly either find a way to manage better pop up windows so one will wait for another to be removed before trying to display, or each pop window being called by buttons added when/where needed : during production / end of release ?**
last problem happening : when you get multiple issues (I had up to 3 for 1 production) , calculations are broken, total cost vs profit wont match expenses.
I have just re-uploaded the game and posted a devlog about the fixes, including the pop-ups. Thanks again for beta testing the prototype, it's always helpful. Happy also you are coming back to play, and if you enjoy the game please feel free to rate it!
Never Flopped, which I'm thankful for but maybe it should have happened when I made three slashers in a row haha, finding names is fun, and I spend a good half an hour on it without getting too bored. I can't wait to see what you do with it! I do like that the beginings are harder, making bad found footage upon bad found footage to make ends meet, but I do think that repetition should maybe impact the ratings. Anyways, I really hope I'll see what this game becomes!( I played right before the last update, oops!)
Hey hotdog7, thank you for playing the game, I’m really happy you enjoyed it! The last update tried to break the monotony of the loop a bit, and I also shortened the waiting time to give it more rhythm. I hope I’ll find the time to improve it and turn it into something more than a prototype. Stay tuned!
A good gameplay loop that mostly suffers from a lack of final objective and no real decision making (beyond not overextending your budget before paying for your post production marketing)
Thanks for the feedback! You’re right, the current prototype still doesn’t really tackle meaningful decision-making. Right now it’s very much focused on testing the core incremental loop. I’m planning to introduce some light strategy elements to add real choices.
The game started as a passion project inspired by movies, especially horror, but blending incremental and simulation elements can limit the depth of gameplay. Most choices don’t have a big impact on the outcome, which is something I’m looking to improve. I’m still deciding whether to lean more into the incremental or simulation aspects, but I’ll have more time to work on it in the coming weeks. Stay tuned for updates
I just tried on 3 different browsers and when the game asks to enter a name I just used the keyboard and entered a name and the game started right away. Is the keyboard not working for you?

hi,
barely started the game, bought my 1st upgrade
the PRODUCTION SLOT 2 ... and when I have the production
steps running in both slots, it happens that I get an issue, need
to pay a fee, then when back to the game my probably paid for issue
resume running other steps ... while my other production is being stuck
end of line, unable to progress to the next step. Reload wont help, still stuck.
Thank you for finding an actual, important bug!

As a game, 5/10 a little boring.
as a proof of concept FOR a game. 10/10 super interesting, looking forward to what you do

Wont let me name the studio so I cant get to play
Strange, it works on my side...did you try to reset the game and enter the studio name? I hope it works. Thank you for letting me know
Anytime I do it just does nothing but if I press it with no name it says please enter a studio name
I just tried on 3 different browsers and when the game asks to enter a name I just used the keyboard and entered a name and the game started right away. Is the keyboard not working for you?
im using opera gx
