MDickie's Popcorn is a movie industry simulator game, where you direct your own movies and you try to get to the top of the Hollywood branch! Hire actors, play roles, become a director!

Pop Culture As the title suggests, Popcorn is very much a sequel to last year's Popscene. Everything, from the the presentation to the concept itself, harks bark to that first instalment. Although ignorant men will attribute that to "laziness", it's actually a deliberate attempt to produce a consistent series. Afterall, this is simply "Popscene goes Hollywood" - and any attempt to avoid that would do more harm than good. That said, the game has taken strides towards establishing its own style. Most noticeably, the blue & white colour scheme of Popscene has given way to a black & white variation for this game (which is surprisingly superior!). Even the logo, despite its similarities, has made its own statement with a movie reel motif running throughout the background. What remains are a series of pleasantly familiar screens that let us dive straight into an exciting new concept...

Tale Of The Tape As ever, deciding who to employ is no empty gesture. There are well over 100 characters in the game's universe, and each one is unique in terms of appearance, personality, and talent. Many of the attributes will be familiar to fans of previous games. "Popularity" and "Reputation" indicate their star power and credibility respectively, while "Attitude" and "Happiness" indicate their mental state. New to this game are "Directing" and "Writing", which govern their ability to deliver the respective content - while "Performing" and "Acting" serve as the on-screen equivalent. Of course, no one man is perfect (and they certainly won't have time to play all roles!) - so you'll soon be constructing an ensemble cast that can share the responsibility of getting the job done...

Game Of The Living Dead In addition to props, you can also sell your soul to the art of make-up. The gore that happened accidentally in other games is now an official option that you can assign to characters as surely as any other part of their costume! As with the props, this gimmick boosts entertainment further yet at the expense of artistry - and makes those cheap action flicks all too tempting. Quite what you use the effect for is down to your imagination. It can either be used to portray a battle-scarred hero or a blood-stained corpse. In fact, the all-over scarring is so good for an "undead" look that I even added a zombie walking animation to complete the illusion!

Motion Pictures Considering how superfluous most of this on-screen activity is, it's surprising to see how much detail has gone into the visuals. In addition to brand new models and textures, we also have the best animations yet to go with them. There are literally dozens of different stances and gestures - covering everything from fighting to fornicating! Yes, to my eternal shame it's possible to make porn films in this game. If you like your romance a little more subtle, however, you can settle for innocent hugging and kissing interactions. The more unusual animations even extend to things like the Superman flight pose - which actually floats in mid-air, allowing you to position the actor anywhere in 3D space! All in all, it's possible to put together practically any scene you can imagine - with hilarious consequences that can be as fun as the game itself...

You can also check Ghost Town chapter, after duel with O'Donnell and effectively getting out of the saloon, there's a barn but near it there's a barrel you can jump on it and skip the initial path through the barn, however pesky thing is that the bell objective Barnsby seems to be lazy and he's not eager to destroy the church using it so it can't trigger in time: Destroy The Bell objective idk if the roof of the abandoned church is destroyable via our dynamite but idk.

Clipping out at 1:00 :)

I just thought i'll share this here. It seems like if you jump on a box, then shake too much it will eventually clip out your character through the invisible barrier. I don't know if that would work for bigger barriers (higher barriers) but it seems like here at some point its working. But there are sensors that prevent you for staying alive and always kill you. Idk if you can get to the fence right there but it is somethin! Check it out

Thank you!

However if to comply with new rules I literally was 11 minutes. I think. I stopped timer at the Juarez cutscene like I always did. Your run might be re-timed if with the old rules. Theoretically i would've beaten you?

Good. I did 12:02 :)

I did 12:06 but didn't record it. Amazing. Sub 12 is possible.

You shouldn't do the dynamite first, you can be faster. I did at that part. First kill all the enemies and then throw the dynamite and Thomas will not circle around to the door, but instead go straight to you to intiate CM mode. Then, kill enemies downstairs, click the locked door and run without killing enemies (kill one on stairs) to the key and back, when you open prison door they should be auto killed so you can be sligthly faster. I did this and i got like 12:25 maybe because im painfully slow at shooting.

Just a notice, you can do sub 9 easily on Chapter IV. And yeah your skip works, very nice! Im thinking tho why debug mode when enabled enables insta church skip after you go out of the cantina and after the camera zoom (if you have debug mode enabled, press f5 + space and the skip will work) however without debug mode it doesnt' work. Wondering what it is disabling so it triggers

That's a fucking nice find too. Which enemies? When you climb down the rooflet or when you advance through? Or enemies near barn?

you can't go forward there you need to go back beacuse it will display a prompt: "You are forgetting about your brother" or something

Now i dont understand. Here it is you can check it and also some trick how to get past the gates before concentration mode appears

If you watched my skips video you can skip the cutscene before snipers with Thomas, but it requires practice and idk if it will cause even more time loss. Video from tips and tricks on my channel. You can use barrels to get up the barn.

Thanks!!!!

Chapter V - defeat Devlin's bodyguard in a duel

Clarify, if it's after the shot immeditely, or if he falls down and screen fades in to the cutscene

Here are the rules for the following categories:

Circuits Any%

• No cheating
• No video cutting allowed when livestreaming
• No modyfing the game (play on the game version: 1.4.0.0 - it should be in downloads or somewhere in forums as it is an abandonware game)
• Runs only count if done in "Single Heat" (Pojedyńczy Bieg) mode for Circuits Any%
• You can use "N" to lift up your bike. It gives you more speed on straights.
• You can play either on Manual or Arcade driving settings. I drove this on arcade (make sure you change it beforehand). The "manual" realistic one is way more harder with a bar, where you need to balance your rider in that way that he doesn't fall of the bike.

Circuits will also have Any% different leaderboards for players that use Manual stick shift (which is alot of harder) and Arcade one. Aracde one is very easy, and the difference is that Manual stick shift has like a balance meter that you need to balance your bike and look out not to fall out therefore being harder

Carrer Mode Any%:

• No cheating
• No video cutting allowed when livestreaming
• Run starts whenever you start your carrer mode (as soon as you load in to the Carrer Mode menu)
• Run ends when you reach the Super League and prompt will show up that you advanced to that league (you don't need do another season after completing it)
• You can freely upgrade your bike
• You can use "N" button to lift your bike up during races
• You can skip some parts of races, but be aware that it is risky and might lose you game / few games
