Hi all, well this is Stardom Hollywood. A long time ago
I made a video on the iPad for their old game called Stardom
but this is their next one which is called
Stardom Hollywood.
So you go in and you want to become an A-list superstar. You start at E though so
you're not very great to begin with.
If you get on the news you can collect your fans.
OK, so this is my apartment
and if you want some extra cash you can click on things and admire things and get xp for it.
I think it's quite good.
OK, so if we leave here
and go into the outside world.
Now in Stardom what you have to do is you basically have to, you've got an agent he
gives you scripts
and then you've got to go and act it out basically.
You get your quests that come and show up here
so it's telling me what I need to do.
So at the moment I need to go to Arnie's office and read a script.
There's all sorts of things you can do as well. You can work at Starbucks to make
some extra cash and things like that because you do have your rent to pay.
You see this is a really cool rock bar from what I can tell.
So if we go into Arnie's office and read the script.
The script will come up here.
Now do read the script because you do have to get your lines perfect.
If you get your lines perfect you get an extra star
I mean an extra star at the beginning
OK, so when I heard about ***'s taxis, we need to
remember this.
OK, so now we've read the script
we go back out.
As you can see you've got loads of different places you can go.
But we want to go and find where we need to do this.
So it's KTV channels. So if you click on the star and you go in through the door
and then you speak to the guy and he's going to sort of audition you and get you ready.
And it's already the first line's correct
If it isn't correct just put this isn't right
I think it's this one but I can't quite remember. No, it wasn't so I didn't get
a good start there.
So we then start the project.
As you can see, this one takes 59 minutes but if you want to get a movie then
that would probably take a longer time so you'll find that once you run out of energy you
need to keep going back.
Now if you click on here you can hire people that you've met throughout the game
if you're dating them you can't hire them to work with them.
Unfortunately, and I haven't got anyone to bring in at the moment.
But you just click on things like this
easy enough,
and you get money, xp
and stars which show up here. We want to get five stars and then at least we've done the project
really well.
If you do a project really really well you go onto the news
and then you get more famous.
If you just keep clicking things I think we'll have enough energy though
to be able to complete this one.
Eventually you'll have enough money to buy some really nice clothes so you'll start to look really good.
You can also change your hair cut
and the way you look and things like that.
OK, we've now run out but hopefully we've given ourselves enough to
complete it. There we are! Got five stars for that one,
so when that gets shown on the TV we'll get found, hopefully.
So we collect that all up. Once you've completed something it will tell you here and then you just
collect it.
OK, now we just need to leave here.
Oh, you see my agent's already calling me. He's probably calling me to tell me how
brilliant I was.
No, he's got something else for me but
we'll have a look and see if he's got anything a bit better.
We'll decline it all for now.
So I can show you more of the game.
OK, so if we go along
we'll leave this street
because you've got no more commercials to do.
That's Arnie's office again so when we really want to talk to him we'll go
there but we'll nip into the pub.
And see if there is anyone to talk to and see if we can make some friends.
Some people just look at you and say you're a low life and don't want to talk to you but then the
higher you get, and when you become an A-list everybody will
absolutely love you.
So as you can see, you can talk to this guy, and we'll just chat to him
because if you flirt with him then you can't use him, especially if he's an actor you want to be
able to use him.
I'll just turn the sound down here.
Nice to meet you, blah, blah, blah
Let's add another contact because you might still be able to use him.
Got this girl to talk to as well. So have a quick chat.
You introduce yourself.
What does she do?
She only works in a fast food restaurant but we'll add her anyway because we can probably
make her an actress.
You can do that but if they don't work in acting don't worry about it too much you can
still use them.
Go back out.
In the game it will send you to talk to a woman but she wants me to get to D list for when we next talk to her so
hopefully I'll be able to do that today.
So you can work at Starbucks. At the moment I haven't got enough energy
to be able to do any work for them but this is Starbucks.
You can also talk to people in here.
Introduce
let's add that contact.
Excellent. And if you want a job here you just talk to the manager kindly and he'll give you
some work.
You can also order coffee if you wanted to.
Now, I'll have a cup of coffee.
Get yourself caffeinated.
And I'll try to land a role in a big screen but I think we need to do
some more commercials to be able to do that.
So when you start the game you pretty much only do commercials.
Eventually you'll be able to buy pets,
and you'll be able to adopt pets.
They're really good for giving you a reward and stuff like that.
Right, let's go and visit downtown and I'll quickly show you downtown.
So this is downtown. This is where you can buy better properties and better apartments when you've
got the money.
If you go into
this Chinese restaurant.
This is where you usually talk to your other person that's going to help you become big.
She's not here at the moment.
Some people might not talk to you in here because you're not, you know, you're not A list yet
but you can like take people out onto dates here
and stuff like that.
You can charm people but only if you've got enough charms to do it.
I used them all up yesterday on energies so I'll warn you...
don't buy energy it uses up all your charms and it takes a while to build them back up.
You go back out now. If you look at your bottom list here, you've got
your news, you can click on that and he'll ping up and tell you what's going on
You can look at your top stars and see who's at the top at the moment.
We are not doing too badly.
I mean, we are pretty, far, far, far,down the list!
But eventually I'll get there.
And in the star news it tells you what's going on in the news and who's doing what and who's
making it as what, and all of that.
You close that down and you click on this one and this is your phonebook
so you can ring people and ask them out on dates and things like that.
Then you've got your closet.
So if you go into the closet when you've got enough money you can start buying things.
So you can buy new haircuts and things like that, that'll tell you how much they cost.
You can buy clothes, that's your Starbucks one when you need to work
so some thing's cost money and other things you know cost more so let's just buy
some stuff and change the outfit a bit.
That's nice, let's purchase that.
There we go, she gets dressed up a little bit more.
We have enough money for these little shorts,
there, we'll buy these black trousers instead.
So you can buy lots of things, you can buy shoes, boots,
we'll change her shoes so it matches her top a bit better.
You can buy accessories like bags and things like that but as you can see they cost a bit of
money
so we need to save up a bit for that.
Then you go back out and you're changed.
Usually if you dress up nice,
also sometimes there's the paparazzi that goes around and he'll take pictures of you and
put you in the news.
So your fingers crossed that you bump into him and you get to speak to
them.
Because where are we at the moment?
We'll just go this way. Actually we want to leave downtown.
As you can see, downtown just gets massive and if you can in the cinema, there you go,
If you win awards you get to go on the red carpet and things like that.
So that is Stardom Hollywood and I actually really really like it.
We'll go back to the neighbourhood
no one's hassling me for rent today which is quite nice.
But yes, that is Stardom. It takes a while for your energy to build up but the game's definitely worth getting and it is
free to play.
And it does waste some time playing it which is really really great. I hope you all enjoy.
