• Manage project budgets. Every action taken for a project can add to the project budget, coming out of the studio’s funds. Higher budgets need a stronger release and great marketing plan to make their money back.
• Unlock perks as your studio grows to assist with things like: better negotiations with talent, stronger marketing pushes, office upgrades or fire shots at rival studios.
• Unlock the Auction House perk to bid against rival studios for pre-made passion projects with a major actor already tied to it, or a top director.
• Follow the in-game Tabloids to keep up to date on the world.
• Create/Edit/Save & Share custom databases with the in-game database editor.

• Create a project, for Film and hire writers to bring the screenplay to life. Fine tune your screenplay using Screenplay Hooks and Screenplay Modifiers to deliver the project you want to the audience.
• Hooks include important hooks in the screenplay, such as era, setting, location, dialogue tone and more. Modifiers allow the player to add elements to the screenplay that affect the Parental Rating, such as Violence, Drug Use, Profanity, Nudity, etc. Adding these will affect the parental rating.
• Define the important Lead, Supporting and Minor roles + up to eight additional custom roles in your screenplay and hold auditions or negotiate with an actor directly for the part.
• Automatic poster generation for your project based on genre(s) chosen. Or upload your own custom poster for every project.

• Once filming has wrapped Editing can begin. Edit in-house or out-source editing for a cost. Choose Post-Credit Scenes or Mid-Credit Scenes, Alternate endings, soundtracks and edit style.
• Run Test Screenings for early audience reactions, cut and release Trailers early to generate more buzz and hype.
• Book the stars of your project on the late night tv circuit for guest interviews. Actors with outgoing traits tend to do well on these appearances and add hype to your project. Conversely, difficult actors can cause problems on-air.
• Book magazine covers, photo shoots, interviews, even trash an actor who made filming difficult in the Magazine Rack.
• Choose to sell your distribution rights or release yourself, release domestically, internationally or globally, or direct-to-video.
• Set a release date and get a hype bonus for releasing on a matching holiday. Run the Opening Weekend box office, see your revenue accumulate from different locations and read the reviews as they come in.

ALSE is a uniquely designed, deep social simulation engine that runs in the background allowing talent to behave autonomously in-game. No two games will feel the same. The ALSE will run on the default database and any custom community databases creating a unique hollywood-style universe simulation.

• Core database with thousands of actors entering the game over the span of two decades.
• Organic biographies are automatically created for every actor based on a number of factors, including their traits, relationships, history in film and television and more.
• Affinity. Actors can form friendships, rivalries, feuds and romances: going from dating to marriage and/or break-up (if it happens). All documented in the tabloids.
• Life and Death. Actors age as years pass and their in-game profiles will reflect aging with portraits that update automatically as time goes on. Eventually (or unexpectedly) an actor will pass away. This means they can potientally pass away during filming. Complicating production. Other actors who had a relationship with the deceased will request time off, halting production. 
• Groups/Cliques. Actors can form groups with each other (eg. the Rat Pack) and will form organically, choosing to appear in projects together and being covered and named in the tabloids. They can also dissolve, have reunions and support each other with group fame bonuses.
• Fame. Actors accumulate star points many different ways in-game, successful projects, tabloid interest, late night talk show appearances, magazine photoshoots or articles and a lot more all contributing to their overall FAME score. Higher fame actors will know their worth in the industry. Conversely, fame can also decrease just as easily. 
• Traits. Every actor selects from a large pool of customized traits defining their personality. These traits carry over to the game and direct their behaviour and lifestyles.
• Scandals. They can rock an actors career or sink them completely.
• Events. In-game events happen organically anywhere from filming on location, to an award show, to an appearance on a late night talk show. These events can have a direct +/- affect on the actor. Positive interactions on-set between actors will get people talking about their chemistry and generate hype. Conversely, too many negative interactions between actors and people will become more interested in the on-set drama than the actual project.
