The Movies is one of my most-wanted games of the year. It’s one of the games I check for updates constantly, and I spend a lot of my free time trying to decide what sort of movies I’ll want to make.
I’m planning to make mostly 5-10 minute shorts, and once I know how the game works and what’s available, I’ll probably write lots of scripts in various genres. All my movies will be done in subtitles, because I don’t act and I don’t know any actors. Most of my movies will probably be comedies or have comedic elements.
So what movies do you plan to make?
Heck yes I’m looking forward to it! It’s one of the reasons that went into my decision to drop City of Heroes: so I could devote more time to The Movies when it comes out. I was hooked on Hollywood Hijinx in the 90’s and made movies based on my friends lives. I’m already cooking up ideas in my head, and plan on translating a couple of short stories that have been running around in my head for the past few years.
I know it’s mainly a Sim-type game, but if it balances it with a robust movie creator, I’ll never leave my computer again.
Hopefully we can get a group of dopers excited about it and have a movie exchange.
When I was a kid, I used to make stop-motion movies with my parents’ camcorder. They weren’t very good or long, and I never had the patience to do them right, but I’ve always loved telling stories. My only worry is that I’ll be a terrible director.
Kind of. It was supposed to have been released in June of 2004 so my anticipation has waned some. But if it’s like it claims, it’s going to be a really good game.
It’s GOLD! It’s GOLD! Happy, happy me! ::does happy dance::
