Der Produzent: Die Welt des Films

## Description

In _Der Produzent: Die Welt des Films_ the player is a film producer. The goal
is to earn one billion Deutschmark within 20 years by producing and marketing
popular movies.

The first step in making a picture is of course the script which is either
purchased under several scripts for sale or as a commissioned work. The next
step is to employ actors and a director with values in different character
traits as charisma or experience. Besides the obvious budget restrictions the
player has to consider antipathies, e.g. a vain actor might not want to work
under a inexperienced director. Then the player has to rent one of six studios
and one of four recording studio. The last action is to set the budget of the
movie in six categories such as special effects and scenery. During the
shooting there is the possibility of several random events, e.g. a fire or
arguments between the actors.

After the making comes the marketing of the movie. Costly is the direct
marketing in movie theaters or video stores. Then the player has to care for
advertising in TV, radio or magazines. On the other hand extra cash can be
made with the official CD or video game. Easier is it to sell the movie to a
TV station or sell the whole rights to another publisher.

The main menu is a picture of a office. There the player chooses his actions
respectively submenu either by clicking on the corresponding office items or
the icon bar. Every action costs time and after a certain time the round,
which represents one day, ends.
