Which will come out first? HM3 or a new FOF?

[Raiders Army]

A new version of FOF or TCY is supposed to come out this year. HM3 was supposed to come out in August, but it has changed to September. Which game will come out first?

[sabotai]

I'm not sure, but if they come out at close to the same time, I might just suffer a text sim overdose.

[Izulde]

I'd put my money on HM3, which I'll buy the moment it comes out. I've been starved for an upgraded version of HM and I still dust off the old version once in a while.

It's been awhile since I played HM - probably 2 years or more - but one thing I never liked was that it wasn't a true universe... actors didn't age, retire, get replenished with new young actors, etc... will this be in HM3?

Really? In HM2, I had actors age and retire and/or die all the time.

You had to enter in new actors/actresses though.

Talent always retired or died when I played, but I usually only released 2-5 movies a year. I always used the worldwide talent search to bring new talent into the game. Bringing in actors and directors from there and watching them develop into stars was the best part of the game for me.

Did you create yourself and friends and family like I did? :D

I just usually made names up. But I liked starting out like three men and three women in a cheap horror movie and then working with them a ton over the next few years to see whose movies did best and who ended up being the highest paid stars.

Maybe I was using the original HM? I can't remember.

[AgustusM]

HM3 has been pushed back so many times I have lost interest, I will believe it when I see it.

I still hope that the ”Enigma” some day will turn out to be the link to Jim’s new game. And now just before the NFL season is about to start would be an excellent time.

Do we have a winner?

SEPTEMBER 1, 2006
Hollywood Mogul 3 is finished.

Now it's just tweaking and adjusting, and looking for any remaining bugs. Then it's all yours.

I am most grateful to Eldritch009 for the hundreds of hours he put in debugging and play-testing HM3. And my thanks to the other testers, as well.

And thank YOU for your patience, your suggestions, and your membership here on the Message Board. I've enjoyed it all.

Good Luck At The Box Office.
Carey

That is very good news.

[Grammaticus]

Heck, I didn't even know about this game. I'll have to check it out.

BTW, does anyone know if there are any Track & Field text sim games?

[Raiders Army]

September 20 is the target date, so we'll see if Jim comes out with something!

Oh happy day!
