The world is not prepared for my genius
Assemble Entertainment has announced today that Odyssey Studios’film studio managementgameMoviehousewill launch April 5 for Windows and MacOS.
Moviehouseis a management game that starts you out in your humble trailer and has you drive your capitalistic art venture into a fat stack of cash. You hire the cast, plot out your movie, and even cover the marketing. There appears to be location scouting, expanding your lot, and even reviews from disgusting critics.
I was hoping forThe Movies, butMoviehouselooks more likeGame Dev Story. That may sound like a complaint, but I loveGame Dev Story. There’s just a bigThe Movies-sizedhole in my heart that needs filling. I actually spoke to Mark Webley and Chris Knott beforeTwo Point Campusreleased, and I asked them why we can’t buyThe Movieson Steam anymore. Mark Webley looked a bit sad and basically replied that he didn’t know but, “wished that [he] could still buy it.”
Despite it looking like there won’t be stitching an actual viewable movie together,Moviehouselooks like it’s right up my alley. I love this style of management game, and the tools that are given to you look like they leave a lot of room for creativity. Yeah, I think I’m on board.
I’ll have to wait until June 26, 2025 for its release, however.Moviehouseis coming to Windows and MacOS via GOG and Steam.
