First, off the developers, I would like to start by saying I love this game and thank you for working hard to bring us fans enjoyment. The biggest things I see that could he worked on is the natural disasters and things that cause a delay in my show's productions it happens so often that it caused me to go bankrupt also with my writers going I'll and laptops breaking it happens so much that I never have a chance to earn my money back so I think you could turn the likelihood of them happening down a bit. Second, although 10M is a lot to start with I think you should make it more because 10M, especially in the beginning goes up pretty quickly, especially to players who still haven't gotten used to the game I've seen many others say it's so hard to get back to 10 so maybe more will give them wiggle room and third more ways to make money and more interactions with networks and such for me personally I really wanna see a Revive system or reboot where a show that has been canceled of yours can come back also a pick up system where is a network cancel your show another will offer to pick it up. It will be great if you could read this thank you

I Love The Game In All It’s Very Addiction But I End Up Always Restarting Because I Think I Can Do Better What I’m Trying To Say Is This Game Is Hard How Am I Supposed To Level Up If I Need 4 Million $ And When You Make A Episode You Spend Your Own Money The Network Should Provide You With A Budget Which You Have But The Budget Should Be There Money And If You Go Over The Budget You Use Your Money This Game Needs This So The Level Up System Doesn’t Make Players Leave Your Game Or Am I Doing Something Wrong No Matter What I Do I Can Not Level Up Even If You Do Not Have Leveling In You’r Game I Can’t Get To The Requirement Can You Please Fox This Issue Some How Add Difficultly’s Our Make It Be The Networks Money I Just Can’t Play This Cause I Get No Where Playing This At The Moment Other Then Then This Game Being Stupidly Hard I Still Have To Give It A 10/10 Because It’s The Only Type Of It’s Kind It’s Addicting And I Can See This Being Big.

We appreciate your review and rating! :) We are trying to make the game to be challenging, but not impossible to play! In the game there are some hints to make episodes with better scores, such as genre popularity or helpful comments from test viewers after the Test Screening action. Helpful comments can pinpoint the appropriate settings which is more important in the given genre, so you can improve them in the episode next time to get a better score with less money. Each genre has their own setting requirements, so test viewer's comments really can help sometimes. :)

Love The Game, But Very displeasing update feature

This game has it all, a few bugs that need to be fixed, but also very addicting. Add in Shopping rejected shows around, longer title names, custom log lines, Advertisements and award shows. Also have the choice to end your series when you want. The one thing that turns me off so much is the “we will not make an update until you guys fund a feature” some people don’t have money. You guys have made from calculations well over a couple grand in $$$ from votes that most likely won’t make it unless more people play and without an UPDATE, it’s not likely. And not mentioning the amount of trouble for having people buy tokens for features that will never see the day of light. You guys can give certain updates that way but you still have an obligation to fix bugs and make basic changes, not scam people out of money. Give a FREE Update, not gonna buy those lame tokens for you to get the “incentive” to wanna fix some bugs and then go hidden another year or two. 7 Out Of 10. **THIS GAME WOULD HAVE 10 STARS IF THEY DIDNT FEEL THEY NEED AN INCENTIVE TO CONTINUE UPDATING*** So its a solid 7. No Actual Passion From Developers it’s clear they want a Payday and not build on a Loyal, Fanbase that will not compare to their short lived $3,000 - 5,000 .

Thank you for your review, we are happy that you like the game, and we are sorry of course that you feel the way as you’ve written. Unfortunately much less money came in so far than what you calculated. :) We’re not even a big company, we’re just two guys who made this game in their freetime for free. :) After 1-1,5 years we couldn’t continue the development of the game for free, and we had to start work on another project, but we wanted to give the chance to continue the game, so this is why we introduced the Voting system, because as you said: “some people don’t have money”. :) However we won’t be ungrateful for the tokens so far, and we’re planning to add new feature/features in return later (even if no feature will be funded), but we’re still waiting some more to have freetime for it, and the more token come in the richer the feature(s) will be.And a little help in the game: You can archive an active show in "Menu --> Shows” by swiping left on the show.

Still good but further flawed

I’ve been playing this game for years. For so long that the building wasn’t a thing, many features were nonexistent or at least different. Relatively the game has stayed the same base wise, and it’s really fun. However, I’ve noticed a few new issues that are bugging me badly. First of all, when you create a new studio, and you successfully pitch a show to a cable network, it’s basically a death wish. That’s because they schedule it far in the future. For example, I finished a show by Y1 WK20. They scheduled it for Y3 WK16. That’s TWO years in game which is quite insane. I can’t do another tv show in the meantime because I just started and my level is not high enough. So, I have to pain fully wait, not to mention the turn based system is slower than it used to be. Not only that but it drains the studios money. Even if you have multiple other shows, that’s a very poorly designed feature by a gameplay standpoint, not a matter of ‘realism’. Also, the ai generated cover arts are kind of silly. It would be fine if it allows the player to upload a custom cover art as well, since the ai generated ones aren’t the best.

Shows still in pilot evaluation no longer appear as schedulable, since only their pilot episode is completed.
