closing them is moving the cursor away from them. Sometimes you will see a red
exclamation point near a bubble, indicating that something is really wrong and
that you should probably do something about it. Other times you will see a blue
I that is just bringing something semi-important to your attention.
The more filled the bars are in the bubbles the better. A filled bar means your
star is happy. An empty one means they are seriously pissed. You will also
notice that there are vertical lines on the bars in the bubbles. These are the
thresholds. These exist to show you when things get really bad. Like if one of
their bars falls below the lowest threshold. That's bad, and you should do your
best to avoid that, otherwise your stars will become unruly. On the other side
of the spectrum, get their bars above the highest threshold and they'll be
happy to work for you.
-PA System
Information bubbles aren't the only way of getting information about your
studio. There will also be frequent announcements over the PA system, telling
you about rival stars wanting to join your studio, research packs available,
when the next awards ceremony is, and if one of your facilities is in critical
condition, among over things.
-Pips
Every once in a while you'll see a bar pop up with a number of diamond
formations inside. Each diamond is divided into four sections. This is another
way of learning how your lot is doing. Positive progress is shown by gaining
green pips while negative progress is shown by losing red pips. You may see
this bar when gaining or losing studio capital, attractiveness, or prestige.
-Guiding Streams
Sometimes when you pick up a person you'll see a sparkling stream guiding you
towards the most appropriate action for that person. Of course these are only
suggestions and you can go right ahead and ignore them. But they are useful
when you have someone on your lot who isn't doing anything but has a job they
should be working on, since the game will point out where they need to be.
===============================================================================
V. STAFF CATEGORIES
===============================================================================
Your studio depends on having a good staff to carry out all of your commands,
since you can't do any of them yourself. In this section I'll tell you all
about the kind of people you'll be able to hire. There are a few things you
should know about all job applicants first.
Any job applicant who isn't outside of your stage school starts off with zero
experience. That means any person looking for a job as a janitor or builder
could just as easily be hired as a scientist or film crew and be just as
effective an employee. These people have no starting experience so they'll be
naturally suited for any job you like.
They can also be easily reassigned. Staff members can gain experience in any
field you put them in, so jumping your employees from job to job over time can
gain you a studio of well-versed staff.
All staff members make a salary of $1000 per year. The only exceptions to this
are Extras (who make $3000) and Stars (who start at $6000 and make a variable
amount). The same applies to aging and retirement. Only Extras and Stars will
age and retire. All other staff members live forever and simply gain more
experience at their craft.
Builders
--------
Builders, quite simply, build. They will construct all of your facilities and
sets for you once you place them. They will either find their way to them by
themselves or you can drag them over to the location yourself to get the job
done quicker. The more builders you have the faster the construction will go.
The other important job these staff members have is keeping all of your sets
and buildings in good condition. All facilities wear and decay over time and
repeated use, and if their condition gets too bad they may have to be closed.
This is why it is good to have a large number of builders on hand to regularly
repair your facilities.
To view you studio's overall Studio Maintenance, either click on the
information icon in your Production Office or right-click on your Staff Office.
Staff Maintenance is an element of Studio Prestige, which contributes to your
Studio Rating. Studio Maintenance is based on the number of builders you have
employed versus the size of your studio. This is why you'll need more builders
if your lot is very large.
As I mentioned before, builders are capable of getting to facilities on their
own, which saves you the trouble of having to carry them all around when you
probably have more important things to do. So, in order to make sure your
builders can get around your lot easily (and all other staff members, for that
matter) it's always wise to connect all of your facilities with paths and
pavement. This makes it easier for everyone to get around and do their jobs.
If you can afford it, it might be wise to hire more builders than you actually
need. That way there will be more of them out there working on keeping all of
your facilities in good working order. On the other hand you can take the time
to personally move each builder to a particular building if you have that sort
of time and want to get personally involved in your studio's maintenance.
Outside of each facility on your lot are a number of icons available only to
builders. Picking any builder up will show you these icons. There will always
be a number of maintenance icons that will make your builder begin repairs one
they are placed on them. But there are also two more that allow you to move or
destroy your buildings. The move icon has four arrows on it. Place the builder
onto that icon to be able to move the building, right-click to return it to its
original position if you change your mind. To sell a building, move a builder
onto the bomb icon to have the building be demolished and to gain a depreciated
portion of the original price of the facility.
Of course moving or selling a building causes your Studio Attractiveness to
take a big hit, since after the building is no longer there it leaves a lot of
debris. So be ready to have some janitors to come clean up the sight quickly.
Builders can be hired by dragging an applicant into the Create Builder room of
your Staff Office. They also gain experience with each job they perform.
Janitors
--------
If you have lots of grass, you'll need these guys. If you have lots of people,
you'll need these guys. You'll pretty much need them no matter what you have.
These staff members will go around picking up litter and watering your grass.
This is important since Cleanliness is a factor of Studio Lot Prestige, which
adds into your Studio Rating.
The number of janitors you should hire is a lot like the situation with
builders. It really depends on the size of your lot and if you want to
personally place them where there's trash. You can hire a lot of them, and with
the right amount they'll be able to keep the dead grass and litter from
detracting from the attractiveness of your lot.
Janitors can be hired by dragging an applicant into the Create Builder room of
your Staff Office. They also gain experience with each job they perform.
Crew
----
These are the men and women who will man your cameras and make sure your movie
happens. The number of them you should employ will directly depend on the
quality of scripts your studio will be able to produce. The better your writers
are the higher number of crew members you will need for each project.
The unique thing about your film crew is that the experience they gain will
have an effect on the quality of your movie. For all of your other staff
members, their experience only allows them to do their jobs swiftly. But crew
members' experience will increase the quality of your movie.
Crew can be hired by dragging an applicant into the Create Crew room of your
Crew Office. They also gain experience with each job they perform.
Scriptwriters
-------------
If you don't feel like writing each one of your movies by yourself, you'll need
these staff members. If you're just starting off, you can get away with around
two to three scriptwriters. But once your studio gets off the ground the number
you can have is almost limitless, since you can build several script offices
and have all of them toil away at once.
You can only assign a maximum five scriptwriters to a script per office, which
means they can only write one at a time unless you have multiple offices for
them to work in. To have them begin writing, simply pick one up and drop them
into any one of the five genre rooms inside your Script Office.
The amount of scriptwriting experience they have will not affect the quality of
the script, only the speed. The same is true for the number of scriptwriters
you assign to project. The more working on it the faster it will be written.
Scriptwriters can be hired by dragging an applicant into any of the genre rooms
in you Script Office. They also gain experience with each job they perform.
Scientists
----------
To make sure you stay on the cutting edge of movie technology, you'll need
scientists. You can hire a maximum of six, but can only have four of them
working on one single research packs.
Research packs are what give you all of the scenery, costumes, and effects
you'll be able to use in your movies. By having a good number of scientists on
hand you'll be able to have access to this technology before anyone else. I'll
have more on the packs later on in the guide.
You'll be able to build your first laboratory in 1928. Once you have it
constructed make sure your scientists always remain busy. If there is a new
research pack available they won't automatically get to work on it unless they
are already in the room that it involves. So you'll usually have to track them
down and drop them back into the lab to get all the work done.
Scientists can be hired by dragging an applicant into any of the research rooms
of you Laboratory. They also gain experience with each job they perform.
Extras
------
These people will fill up all of the minor roles in your movie. Like stars,
they will age and eventually retire. They also gain experience in genre with
each movie they perform in. ultimately this skill level won't mean much since
it doesn't factor in to the movie quality. The only use leveling up your extras
has is if you want to some day turn one of your extras into your next Star.
In scripts you writers generate, the number of extras can factor in to add half
a star. The number of extras each script calls for depends on your offices
script quality. The better the script is the more extras it will need (since
there will be more roles).
Extras can be hired by dragging an applicant into the Create Extra room of your
Stage School. They also gain experience in genre with each movie that they
perform in.
Photographers
-------------
These guys aren't really members of your staff since they don't work for you.
But they will show up at your main gates from time to time so it's wise not to
ignore them. The number of photographers that appear depends on your Studio
Rating. If you have a high Studio Rating you'll find more of them waiting to
catch a glimpse of your stars.
You can pick them up and have the take pictures of whatever you want. All
pictures taken of a star will boost their star rating, but not always their
mood. In some cases it'll cause their mood to drop. You can tell when stars are
having a good photo opportunity by looking at the icon that appears when you
hold a photographer near them. A camera with a green check means that the star
is engaged in something that would make for good publicity. A camera with a red
mark means that they're not really doing anything interesting.
The photographers can take pictures oft two stars together, but only the star
with the positive camera icon will receive the rating boost. Once a
photographer has a picture they will leave and not return for one year.
Personal Assistants
-------------------
You won't see any staff cards for these guys, but you can assign this job to
pretty much any staff member. And they're important because without them you're
liable to have some pissed off stars on your hands.
Having a large entourage will boost your star's mood and rating. Any non-acting
staff member you have can be dropped into the Make Personal Assistant icon next
to a star to build up their entourage. Now it's not always a great idea to take
existing staff and assign them to a star's entourage, because that means you're
taking staff away from other important tasks. So it's a good idea to get your
Studio Rating high. The higher your rating the more people will line up outside
your offices, looking for jobs. Then you can simply take one of them and turn
them into a star's personal assistant.
These staff members don't need or gain any experience, but they will retain any
experience they gained by doing jobs before they were assigned to a star.
Directors
---------
I think the game considers these guys Stars, but I'll make them their own
