I tried to recreate Marvel's Iron Man in this movie studio sim, and my version was so bad my own father stormed out of the theater




Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but more importantly it's the path to boffo box office returns. I'm building and running my own movie studio in Blockbuster Inc, and with all of the film genres to choose from like romance, mystery, western, crime, and horror… I'm going with superheroes. If there's one thing that's certain, you can never have too many superhero films, and no one will ever, ever get sick of them...

NPC creator and 7 new languages in Blockbuster Inc.


[h2]Hello, Camerons’ and Tarantinos’ of gaming!! [/h2]

We are getting closer and closer to the release, so it’s time to show you some new things!

There is a brand new, cool video for you. Trust us. Watch it.

[h2]Create your own Daya Zen in our new characters’ creator![/h2]

With the new feature, you can create the team of professionals, top tier actors, or simply workers you would like to hire immediately! Combine the perfect traits for every job, or pick available workers from the list. You can always try to steal a star signed to... someone's else movie!

Building too much star power early on has its drawbacks! Hiring several five-star actors and dealing with their rental houses can be costly for an up-and-coming studio.

Hiring top-level workers with only the best traits and skills will end your budget sooner than you think.

Don’t say we didn’t warn you!

[h2]But that’s not the end of good news!
[/h2]

You can build a star-studded empire in the bustling city of Los Ricos with support for multiple languages including EN, ES, PL, RU, CN, NL, DE, and FR.

It doesn’t mean that we won’t present more languages in the future though.*

[h2]PLAYTESTERS NEEDED![/h2]
Blockbuster Inc. is made by a studio of 3, so even with our best efforts, we don’t speak so many languages! As we presented the new localization versions, we could really use your help in playtesting.

If you are a native speaker of one of the languages presented (EN, ES, PL, RU, CN, NL, DE, and FR) and you are available to help us test it out, feel free to contact us at [email protected]. We will be happy to work with you to make our localization as smooth and enjoyable as possible.

*With the release, we will present a roadmap of our post-launch support plan including lots of content and features. If you want to see your language there, let us know in the comments!
