I like this so much. Pls make series or something like any business tycoon cus I'd buy more. Though, the game is a bit loop, but I bought w a discount, so it worth it <3. Also, I really like the mechanics, so I hope the developer will develop more soon.

As someone that loves Game Dev Tycoon and was looking for something similar to play but for movies, this game really fulfilled that itch. Gameplay is really addictive, and it's fun getting to unlock and experiment with different features and combinations. Cross analysing trends for genres/themes and carefully planning your release window provide an additional layer of strategy that I really enjoyed when producing the films I wanted to make, especially with the way I like to play where I try to recreate/reimagine existing songs, games, etc. as films. Deciding whether a film was going to be made for the masses or for the artistic integrity/critical reception (or both) via the commercial and critical reception of the talent you hire was also a feature I really enjoyed when making my movies. It's just a shame that further development of the game seems to have been abandoned, cos it becomes clear the more you play that it's unfinished and that the devs intended for there to be more features and fine-tuning (as another reviewer pointed out, the competitive analysis trait, which is "in development" in-game, is basically useless). It would've been cool if they added more story elements every few years or so to go beyond 2020 to reflect the current trends in cinema, kind of like Game Dev Tycoon and their updates including the PS5 and the Xbox Series X. Streaming and video-on-demand would've been a nice ancillaries addition for the later years, as releasing a film on home media in the late 2010s just feels wrong when your game's reflection of consumer trends has mostly been accurate up until that point. I also wish there was a bit more variety in the reviews your movies get as there doesn't seem to be any alterations for genre combinations, which kinda kills the immersion for me a bit. i.e. one review will be talking about one genre, while another review will be talking about the other. I'm also a bit disappointed that you're limited to both the same genre and theme when making sequels or prequels, as changing at least the genre and having those changes reflected in the critical and commercial reception of that movie could've given players the chance to be innovative or experimental with their franchises, which could've made for some interesting gameplay (i.e. think 'Joker' or 'M3GAN' for example and how their sequels completely flipped the script and impacted audience reception). For what it is though, The Executive is a really fun and well-made game that was developed with a lot of love for cinema. If you loved Game Dev Tycoon or are into these sorts of games, definitely recommend grabbing whenever it's on sale!

Working for the film industry, I both loved the little nods to film culture and was also triggered by the many challenges of the industry. Giving your all only for people to hate your film... Life is tough, man. I only wish I could better understand why my decisions in the game, that were often studied and well thought of, still gave random results. Do people not want foley as a "feature"? All movies have foley... I'd also like to be able to change things around the office, and to have posters and images of the films and events. Maybe add a festival career? As is, I loved playing it, but I don't see a lot of replay value for now.

It's alright if purchased on the cheap. Game Dev Tycoon and Mad Game Dev Tycoon 2 are both far better products. This one is too reliant on RNG. It's not bad, I'd still recommend it if you can find it for less than $8 or so. I like the concept. I just wish it was balanced better and went the extra mile.
