Step into the roles of writer, producer, and director in this indie casual simulation. Craft short films through a sandbox of scenes, each built from lines featuring actors, items, animations, start and end locations, camera angles, speed settings, and subtitles. Manipulate NPCs with movable joints in small increments across frames for smooth NPC-mation playback, complete with fixed background music.
The movie program generates videos reliant on your installed codecs, supporting uncompressed output without bundled extras. Players handle story scripting, cast selection, production design, and creative oversight in one seamless loop. This appeals to simulation fans who enjoy precise filmmaking tools and open-ended crafting.
Simple Movie is a simulation, crafting and sand box game. The goal is to create a short film. The player is the film's writer, producer and director. The game creates a video with fixed background music and subtitles.
The player is at once the screenwriter and director of a film. As screenwriter, he writes the story. As director, he has the principal role in choosing the cast, controlling the production design and managing the creative aspects of filmmaking.
Simple Movie is a Non Player Character animation (NPC-mation) tool where:
NPC-mation is an animated filmmaking technique in which NPC are manipulated by a movie program in small increments between individual screenshots (frames) so they exhibit independent motion when the frames series is played back as a sequence. NPCs with movable joints are used for their ease of repositioning.
The movie program contains scenes, with each scene having one or more lines.
A line has an actor or an item, animation (actors only), a start and end locations (can be the same), camera, speed (or duration) and subtitles.
NOTE: The output video depends on the installed video codec. The game does not include any video codec (except uncompressed video).
