Filmmaker Tycoon

Filmmaker Tycoon

Edit: The lead “developer” has stated in discord that the current bugs in Film Maker Tycoon are “unfixable”. It was also said a few months back, that the other member of the 2 man team has left the project and it was heavily hinted that the individual who parted, handled all the art assets.

Dead on Arrival. The developer stated (within 2 months of release) that updates with be coming to at a greatly slower pace (this is considered we have only seen 2 patches so far, each containing only one fix and with the bug the first patch addressed still remaining). Just weeks after that, the developer claimed that development has ceased all together.

As one who has The Movies and still plays it from time to time, I have to say that this game is a bit disappointing at present - it feels very disjointed and basic at present, certainly not worth the asking price as it stands …. it just does not feel that you are embarking on a journey, rather that you are just seeing what’s available and looking at the mechanics of the game, whereas it would be nice if you felt as if you were on a career. BUT I think it has potential and if the developers can push out updates and listen to criticisms/suggestions then I believe this will become something immersive - a trait lacking at the moment. I know it is Early Access and it only came out yesterday so because of this I will give it a thumbs up - if it were possible to give a neutral review I would, however to ‘down’ on it would be unfair - fingers crossed we get updates and features….. and a sense of cohesion!

Fire Place

Fire Place

It’s the perfect time for a virtual Fire Place

with days getting shorter and hazy seasons approaching.

The game – or rather simulation – offers a variety of scenes/locations to choose from, generally season unrelated.

You might choose the bonfire at the beach or the mediterranean looking fire-place for some chill summer evenings.

The game offers to many options to manipulate the behaviour of the fire itself and also the rendering/appearance to list them all. You can change brightness and glow but also get detailed control like how fast the heat spreads or the ambient heat which affects the fire.

Less game, more experience. Fire Place works as both a short-session way to chill and a long one if you need a sleeping aid. Once you’ve got a decent fire going it’ll keep itself active for about 20 minutes depending on available fuel, or you can tinker with it every 5 or so minutes to maintain it indefinitely. There are multiple scenes to work with, ranging from a generic campfire to an old Victorian-era fireplace in a vaguely spooky room.

Note here each fireplace layout features different audio, some of which is great and some…well, you’ll wonder why its addition to the game was celebrated lol. There are thankfully sliders for the music as well as everything else including how the fire reacts to materials - modifying some of these though can cause your GPU to break a bit of a sweat so low-spec users should be wary.

ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!! This game is one of the best sandbox games I have ever played in my life!! (and trust me, I’ve played a lot of sandbox games in the past).

First of all, I think it’s the only sandbox game that is based around raytracing and that’s an amazing idea in my opinion!

Secondly, for a brand new early access game, I find that there are already many creative possibilities and it will only get better!

third, this guy is alone! Yes you heard me right, it’s only one person who designed this masterpiece and for only one person, it really stands out.

Festivals - Headliners

Festivals - Headliners

Design your Event Sites, Book Artists, Build your Career as a Promotor and Produce your own Festivals in Festivals - Headliners.

Construct your Site

Build the festival site of your dreams with dozens of stages, food stalls, bars, and hundreds of decorations, billboards and lights. Put up fences and lay down paths to guide your guests in the right direction across your venue and include signing to manage any crowding. Use generators and power lines to form a temporary power grid. And most important of all, keep your fans safe.

Setup your Lineup

Every festival needs entertainment! Book bands, DJs and other talent to entertain your visitors, design awesome shows, include special effects, and make it a night your guests will never forget. And add fireworks. Lots and lots of fireworks.

As your career progresses, you make more connections, and get the option to book some very popular artists and acts for your events. Take good care of them, they’ll draw in huge crowds!

Be ready for D-Day

Start load-in early enough to be ready on time, but not too early or you’ll spend too much on rental. Don’t start too late, because you’ll never know what might happen. The event industry always has some “interesting” surprises for you along the way. Stay on schedule!

Staff Management

A festival is only as successful as the staff running it. They are your most vital asset, treat them accordingly. Hire staff in advance, so you know you have the best people on your team. Provide training and coaching to ensure they’ll stay with you for years.

During the event, provide them with good catering and plenty of breaks. As always, safety is important, so make sure everyone is wearing earplugs!

Finance

While hosting festivals is the most fun job in the world, money still has the be made to pay the bills. Not everyone is doing this for fun. You have to be careful not to overspent. As most festivals don’t make any profit in their first 3 events, don’t be to hard on yourself, but if you’re still in the red by year 4, you might want to consider a different profession. Also, not everyone is to be trusted. Watch out to make sure you’re not lured into anything illegal.

First-person / Third person

Of course you’ll want to witness the spectacle first-hand. As your the head of the event, your AAA card grants you access to every nook and cranny of the venue. Walk around among guests in first-person view, take control of the FOH booth where the lights are controlled, or join the talent on stage to wave at the crowd!

Workshop

From the early release on Steam on, you’ll be able to share your festival sites on the Steam workshop to share with your friends! Before the final release, we’ll add options to add your own assets to the game, which you’ll also be able to share on the workshop. How this exactly is going to work is still a secret, sign up as a tester to learn more first hand!

  • 2020: Work on background systems

  • Now - 2021: Get frontend ready for (beta) testing by end of year

ABRISS - build to destroy

ABRISS - build to destroy

ABRISS is an atmospheric physics-destruction building game.

Build structures from parts to let them crash into your targets. Unlock new parts, destroy more, witness entropy at its worst in digital-brutalist cityscapes. Build to destroy.

BUILD

Choose from parts with different weights, forms and functions to build a structure.

Thruster + Connector + Bomb? You just built a rocket.

Thruster + Rotator + Laser? You just built a rotating laser rocket.

Pillar + Connector + Ultra Heavy Cube? That’s a giant hammer.

Be creative and resourceful with the parts you get, try to destroy the target with less parts or in a more elegant way – it’s going to be a spectacle any way you do it.

DESTROY

Try to hit the main targets to win a level in campaign mode. Destroy an armored wall first so you can then shoot through the hole into the vulnerable center. Try to hit a bomb in the environment. Use environment mechanics like the giant Pistons to catapult Ultra Heavy Cubes into a target. Or just throw everything you have at your targets – that might just work too.

  • COMPLEX DESTRUCTION SYSTEM

    Simulated statics, thousands of little particles of debris, whole chunks of targets flying into the abyss – with little to no framerate spikes.

  • CAMPAIGN

    Five worlds with seven stages each, every stage a hand-crafted destructible cityscape. You will start each stage with a limited set of parts and you will need to find a strategy on how to use them to destroy all main target blocks. You will unlock new parts the further you progress, and every world comes with it’s own special environmental mechanic. You can always return to a stage to try to destroy a higher percentage of it, or do it in less moves.

  • SANDBOX

    Try out new patterns of building stuff. Play around with parts you haven’t unlocked yet. Try to fry

    your GPU with 1000 Lasers at once.

  • PHOTO MODE

    Take a free camera flying to get the best composition. Freeze or slow down time to get the perfect shot of the destruction you just caused. Apply filters to change the vibe of your photography. Export in wonderfully sharp 4k jpegs. Share them with us!

  • TURNAROUND GIF CAM

    Create your own perfectly looping turnarounds of the mayhem you cause!

Rogue Waves

Rogue Waves

This game has a lot of potential, but it also has a ways to go. The current version feels like a solid proof of concept but past killing a few enemies and a passable sandbox mode we’ve only seen the first hint of a story. The combat was challenging at first but I got the hang of it pretty quick. Visually it’s already quite well put together, and the physics aspect seems pretty on point too, with a couple minor exceptions that I’m going to give the dev feedback about. Personally I feel the $10 price tag is worth it, I’ve already gotten $10 worth of entertainment out of it, but I like physics sandboxes and simulators and I think boats are cool too. If you also like physics sandboxes and boats and shooting other boats and mechanical spiders with your cool custom boat then at least follow this game as I feel like it will eventually deliver something really good. If you can spare $10, I’d say go for it.
