Detailed Creator
TV Show Tycoon's robust show creator lets you shape your productions with a ton of creative freedom. Mix and match countless elements to truly make each series reflect your unique vision. Customize every aspect of your productions, from broad genres to specific stylistic flourishes. Specifically adjust the prominence of elements such as fight scenes!
Responsive Game
Your creative decisions won't exist in a bubble - the game will closely monitor how your audiences and critics respond. With nearly 8250 unique review pieces, TV Show Tycoon was tailored to respond to your design choices! Earn praise for smart decisions, and adapt when the feedback calls for it. Be careful as the audience might not be so polite about it sometimes!
Strategic Gameplay
Your choices will often affect how your show will do once it is released. Be careful about the nuances of your target audiences, your show and of course your network. Is it a TV Channel or an Online Platform? What is their episode strategy? How much do they charge for subscription? Ensure your content finds its perfect home. The platform with the most crowded audience might not always be the best option!
Simple Management
Expand your operations by building your own production and effects facilities. Wisely hire talented directors, writers, and other industry professionals to elevate the quality of your content.
Random Events
As you play, you'll sometimes encounter random events and event chains that may present tough choices. Make alliances with powerful networks, or get your hands dirty with some industry backroom deals - the decisions are yours.
Database Editor
You can create your own databases with the game's database editor! Create your own characters, networks, topics, themes and pick which databases you want in-effect in the game! Or install databases made by other people!

I loved playing the demo, just need to say that sometimes the text of reviews would be repeated from other series (like comenting on characters and actor from other shows than the one being reviewed, also, it is hard sometimes for me to get more stars and good payment to invest more in shows but maybe i am being dumb.
great game though, i loved every second of my playthrough (oh another thing it would be nice having not known new talents like people being really good in many stuff that start as cheap to sign but after your show they get popular and much more expensive. And be able to sign them for multiple seasons too.
Thank you very much! We will look into the bug!
Did you think the game could use a more in-depth tutorial? We made the tutorial short as we wanted to encourage self-discovery of the mechanics but we also acknowledge that it may be showing too little. What is your opinion on it?
The game has a trend system in which if you make a successful show, the characters in the show may get an up trend that makes their fanbase increase for a while, but we will also check again to make sure it works well and prominent enough!
We are so glad to know you enjoyed the experience, thanks for the comment! 😊
Just explaining the bug properly. I did a "percy jackson" show and a the office show and they had the same actress, it was Ruth, she played medusa in percy jackson and pam in the office but when reviews came for the office in different seasons they talked about how she portrayed medusa so well, and she also appeared in reviews for another show she wasn't in!
I liked the tutorial, I really did, but it would be good if we could check some parts of it like, as we enter the selecting writer tab, to press a ? button and see which attributes contribute for the writer to be good ya know? Because somewtimes i was looking for a funny and creative writer to write comedy bc i could not remember if he really needed comedy stats or just creativity, or vision too.
And about the trend maybe it happened but i did not noticed. But yeah when like a somewhat famous star or really skillfull somewhat known participates they get a big bonus and get super expensive to sign again haha. If you want to know more ideas i have many more!
Thanks so much, that really helps a lot!
I also liked the '?' button idea too and I'm noting it!
And yes, we would like to know about your ideas 😊. Depending on your preferences, you can tell us about them here in the comments, on Steam discussions or you can mail us here! orda.offic@gmail.com
