Ready the Camera! Film-making Tycoon Moviehouse Gets a New Trailer and Release Date
Unleash your creativity and create the flicks you’ve always dreamed of!
Wiesbaden, Germany - 2nd March 2023. Today, acclaimed indie publisher Assemble Entertainment and developer Odyssey Studios reveal an April 5, 2023, release date for Moviehouse – The Film Studio Tycoon, a new film-making management simulation that puts players in the director’s chair of an up-and-coming production studio. Inspired by Peter Molyneux’s “The Movies,” players will write, produce, and direct indies evolving into Hollywood’s biggest hits in this new spin on the classic tycoon formula.
Showcased in the new devlog, Moviehouse – The Film Studio Tycoon proves that the devil really is in the details, with the devs showcasing how they went about creating one of the most important yet vastly overlooked pieces of movie magic: the miniature set.
Starting in the 80s where neon and practical effects ruled, and spanning through the decades to the near-real look of current day CGI, players start with a small yet passionate film crew with rudimentary equipment who have one goal: grow the studio into one of the best in the industry and keep it that way for years to come. With an eye for entertainment, pick from a dozen popular film genres and plot the perfect, award-winning storyline. Grow your operation with your razor-sharp business sense and usher in a new era for filmmakers worldwide. You only get one shot to make it or break it, and as they say: if you film it, they will come!
