Digital Chocolate发布新款社交游戏Hollywood City

发布时间:2010-11-02 10:24:01 Tags:,,

昨天,社交游戏Millionaire City开发公司Digital Chocolate发布了新一款Facebook游戏Hollywood City。该款新游戏与Millionaire City十分相似,玩家可以选择“有钱又有经验”的男性角色Dean Donson,或“聪明而勤奋”的女性角色Jillian Jones作为自己的顾问。

游戏剧情大致如下:玩家祖父生病后,家里的生意落到了邪恶电影商人Ruth Less手中。由于祖父无法亲自处理家族产业,玩家就代替祖父担当大任。游戏中,玩家需要建立新的商业中心,各种工作室等,所有的建设过程都与Millionaire City的类似。

基本上,Hollywood City堪称是Millionaire City的翻版,除了必须“清理”用地但愿的原建筑外,房子和商业区换成了外景场地和摄影棚,树木和花园换成了演员商店和媒体公司。

Hollywood City的主要目的就是通过经营电影工作室获取最大的利润,玩家购买的每一种外景场地会与某类型的电影相适应。玩家可以通过签订各种耗时长短不同的合约来赚取金钱,既有短短3分钟的广告,也有长达三天时间的电影三部曲。

此外,购买上文提到的演员商店中兜售的各种装饰品就像在Millionaire City中购买喷泉一样可以的到额外的奖励,玩家还可以运用这些道具完成游戏任务中提出的各种要求,如在纪录片摄影棚中拍摄某一类电影或购买一家电影院等。哪怕只曾经玩过一会儿Millionaire City,玩家马上就能熟练掌握Hollywood City,并深知其中成功之道。

Hollywood City与“前辈”的最大不同之处在于引入了Ruth Less。这个角色会在游戏中不时出现,她会勒索玩家,威胁玩家。玩家通过选择如何对付她也可以为自己增加经验或赢得收入。游戏中就有一次Ruth Less会用不堪视频敲诈玩家,玩家可以选择起诉她或者公布视频,获得何种结果但看玩家的选择。

以上我们对Hollywood City与前作Millionaire City做了一个比较,如果您还未尝试这款游戏,如果您对好莱坞和戏剧感兴趣,那么便不妨一试。(本文由游戏邦/gamerboom.com编译)

Today, Digital Chocolate, the makers of Millionaire City (the current #16 app on the whole of Facebook, according to AppData), launched a new title on Facebook called Hollywood City.

For those who have played Millionaire City, the game will immediately strike you as similar, at the very least. You’ll choose from one of two advisors for your game – Dean Donson, the “rich and experienced” male character, or Jillian Jones, the “brilliant and hardworking” female character.

Meet us behind the break to learn more about Digital Chocolate’s newest offering on Facebook.

The story goes that your grandfather has fallen ill at the hands of Ruth Less, a dirty player in the movie business. As your grandfather is unable to handle the family business by himself, you’ll be charged with taking his place. You’ll build a new business Headquarters, studio lots and so on, all in the same way that you would in Millionaire City.

Basically, the gameplay is a copy-and-paste of that seen in Millionaire City, right down to the necessity of “clearing” out plots of land on which you’ll place your buildings. Homes and businesses are replaced by backlots and studios; trees and gardens are replaced by actors’ trailers and media agencies – you get the idea.

The entire goal of the game is to earn as much profit as you can by running your movie studio, with each backlot you purchase corresponding to a certain type of film, which allows you to theme your projects to your choosing. Contracts allow you to earn money over time, from the short 3 minute Commercial shoot, to a Trilogy shoot that lasts a full 3 days.

Accessory items like the aforementioned actors’ trailers or various offices give off the same bonuses that fountains and the like do in Millionaire City, and you’ll need to use these items to your advantage when fulfilling the series of quests that the game sets out for you, like producing a certain kind of film in your documentary studio, purchasing a movie theater, and so on. Not to beat a dead horse, but if you’ve played Millionaire City even for just a few minutes, you will know exactly what to do here, and in theory, how to succeed.

We will say that the one thing the game has going for it over its “predecessor” is a killer soundtrack, in addition to the inclusion of Ruth Less herself, a character that will make her power known at various intervals during gameplay, as she blackmails you, threatens you, or is an all-around meanie, allowing you to choose various actions that will either boost your experience points or add money to your virtual bank account in response. One such example shows Ruth Less blackmailing you over an embarrassing, yet stolen, video tape that could ruin your reputation. You can either sue her or reveal the tape, with either your bank total or experience points being changed, depending on your choice (respectively).

For all of its comparisons to Millionaire City, if you’ve yet to play that title, or if you simply want a game with a Hollywood or theatrical twist, be sure to give this one a go by heading over to the Hollywood City page on Facebook. (Source:Games.com)
