Hollywood Tycoon is a tycoon game that puts you in the shoes of a big league movie producer, managing scripts, sets, and actors in a whirl. The plot is simple. When your uncle Irving Goldfish dies, you inherit his run-down movie studio. Can you make it a smashing success, or will your films flop? As with most good tycoon games, the rules are simple, but the strategy is complex. If you want to succeed, you'll need to think on your feet and figure out a system that works best for your studio. The first thing you need to do when you start is to build a trailer for actors, a hub for writers, and a set department. Upgrading them is a huge part of the game. Before you can make a movie, you need sets, scripts, and actors. Different sets have different attributes, and some are clearer than others. For example, it's easy to guess what would be filmed on a Science Fiction or Western Set, but more complicated to know what works on a New York City or Small Town set. If you're curious, small towns are associated with horror, comedy, drama, and romance. NY is similar, but swaps crime and action for comedy. It's not always intuitive, but you catch on eventually. Once you've got a set, you need to pair it with a script. On the top of the screen, you'll see blue scripts scrolling by. Click one to view its attributes. If you find a script that matches your set and fits with your budget, drag it onto the film set. You'll earn more for matching these properly. If you've upgraded your writers, you'll have access to scripts that have more attributes and earn more cash. Next, you get to cast actors. Actors also have attributes. Your goal is to match the actor with the script. The more they match, the more you'll earn. If you upgrade your trailers, you'll have access to better (but more expensive) actors.
