Lionhead’s movie-making game The Movies has revamped its online presence, now offering a new design and hosting new features for the budding Spielberg in all of us. There are also pages of the site dedicated to the new Expansion Pack; The Movies: Stunts & Effects shipping on June 6th.
Community feedback has influenced the site’s re-design, which has resulted in all users now getting 10Mb of storage. Those upbrading to the Stunts and Effects Expansion Pack will receive an additional 15 Mb (for a total of 25). Users were also vocal about advertising and promoting their short films, so making posters for upcoming movies is now a reality.
Lionhead’s online community for The Movies is quite large, with nearly 100,000 movies posted to the site and a total of almost 750,000 unique visitors.
Lionhead Studios was founded by Peter Molyneux, the creator of classic games such as Populous, Black & White and Fable. Lionhead Studios was purchased by Microsoft in April 2006 and is now a subsidiary of Microsoft Studios.
The Movies is rated Teen and was published by Activision.
