I discovered that game long after it was abandoned, and I love it. My dream is a version of this with a slightly modernized UI (especially since it was made for low-res 4:3 screen ratios), maybe more movie genres and mod integration for user content like planet coaster.
It was a real gem. I haven’t gone DEEP on it before, but I’ve really enjoyed what I played of it.
I used to play this a lot. Somehow I had the creativity to make movies in the game back then. Even without knowing how to read English, and scrolling few dozens of scene template et cetera.
Nowadays I would consider that as a chore even if now I can speak English
This just unlocked a memory of playing something similar but it was pre 2005 and did not look like the screenshots.
3D Movie Maker? Casino Inc? Theme Park?
It was 3D movie maker. I looked it up after I made the comment, and forgot to reply or update.
I remember it being janky as hell.
dude 3D movie maker was my shit. Glad to find another former movie maker stan - I used to put entire evenings into making stupid little animations. That was the game that taught me what it feels like to be completely immersed in a creative project. McZee still haunts my nightmares, tho…
I occasionally feel like I hallucinated that whole game so it’s nice to know that other people have played it.
You got another Stan here.
I actually had my fare share with vd3mm… But I can’t dedicate any time to it anymore
It seems I managed to block McZee from my memory. After a quick search, I’m glad I did.
they don’t make disturbing kid’s content like they used to.
damn searching for “3d movie maker” on youtube points me to a 19 years old video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGJKeESLBpQ
That game was so silly and fun. Forgot all about it! We used to make fun little movies and overdub them using Sonar.
For those that come to be saved the click:
Is the 2005 game The Movies
it’s in the title, bro.
Not to be that guy, but it’s the 20th anniversary of the game, The Movies, so yeah. Could just read the title.
Man, every time I tried to make it run last decade there was one bug or another preventing me to do so. I miss that game.
time to go buy an old cow-colored HP computer off ebay just to make it work!
Indeed, it’s the last solution
