Please e-mail Shannon (e-mail: sschroeder81@earthlink.net) with any complaints and/or compliments (the latter preferred).

Description
Sim Cinema Deluxe is a simulation of the film making process. You fill the role of a Hollywood producer who owns a small production company. To gain notoriety and respect from distributors and Hollywood in general, you must produce many successful films. Producing a film takes you through casting, filming and eventually releasing the finished product. The decisions you make in the casting and filming process decide your film's Box Office performance, which you'll follow in detail as the weeks pass by. Sim Cinema Deluxe also features an in-game cast and crew editor.
Changes in 2.5
* Box Office Top Ten List, in which your film will compete
* Now test screen your film before release
* Budget feature
* Development process now more detailed
* Improved Interface all around
* Many more small improvements
* Many bug fixes
Help
Sim Cinema Deluxe was developed under Mac OS, and therefore has a very Mac OS-like interface. So if you can make menu selections, push buttons and follow the simple instructions the dialogs give you, you're all set. Send any questions/complaints beyond "How do I create a successful movie?" (i.e. bugs) to Shannon (author!). (e-mail: sschroeder81@earthlink.net)
For successful film making tips, refer to "SCDX FAQ," in this folder.
