Screen Shots

Each screen shot will open in a new window.
Set Up
When you Start A New Game you choose the various databases that will be used. You can choose the default databases created by Hollywood Mogul, or any databases you've created or that have been created by another mogul that you've downloaded.

This is true for the four Talent databases and the thirteen source databases. Often moguls create Talent Databases using real movie star names. If they have created an Image File Set as well, you can easily direct Hollywood Mogul to where it will find those pictures.

Hollywood Mogul can be played with up to 10 movie studios, all of which can be run by human players in a hotseat game.

Source Material
You're running a Hollywood movie studio. You make movies. To do that, you're going to need source material. You can choose from Original Screenplays, Comic Books, Novels ... thirteen separate source categories, as well as projects that have been put into Turnaround by other studios. The source material has a variety of prices depending on a number of factors. You can search through all of the genres in a category, or select a specific genre from the more than eighty genres in Hollywood Mogul. And of course, if you're not happy with what you purchased, you can go into Development and rewrite everything you want changed. All it takes is time. And money.

Development
In HM3 when you want to make changes to the screenplay you get exactly what you want every time. The difference from previous versions of HM is how long you have to wait for that rewrite to be complete. But when it's complete it will be exactly as you ordered.
