Hello all, it’s been a year since we released Empire TV Tycoon on Steam and now is time to celebrate! When we released Empire TV Tycoon back in October 20th of 2015, we already thought that the game was in a very good shape and that’s why we decided to go with a full 1.0 release instead of an Early Access method. Although we are small indie team of two people, we promised to listen to the player suggestions and keep working on improving the game with the community feedback and as many new features as we could. Here is a small recap of all the improvements and new features that has been added into the game during this last year: - Doubled the speed of the elevator. - Added a new Warning Window. - Added Audience Smiles on the TV. - Made editable/customizable the text of the scripts. - Added the Endless Mode. - Added Channel Specialization. - Added Audience Bans. - Added Channel News. - Added Best Movie Awards. - Added Mini Series and Long Duration TV Shows. - Added the Custom Mode. - Added restoration save points for the savegames. - Added the Antennas Map. - Reworked the Ads and game progression systems. - Added Special Content. - Added Second Seasons. - Added the Movie Archive. - Added Mods and Workshop support. - Added game compatibility for tablets. - Translated the game to German, French, Portuguese and Russian. - Added tons of new movies, ads, actors, quest, events and other game content. - Added lots of tooltips, help windows and gameplay feedback - Tweaked and balanced all the game systems. - Graphically improved and adjusted nearly all windows in the game. - Fixed lots of bugs and other issues. Not bad, right? We are very happy on how the year turned out. Currently we are finishing the next patch that will make the game compatible with tablet devices and fix some minor bugs. When the patch is finished we will release the game for IPad and Android Tablets as soon as possible. When we finish the tablet version we will decide what to do next, we have an interesting idea for a new game that we will like to explore in more detail. As for a sequel, yes we have talked about it and we would really like to make Empire TV 2 at some point in the future, correcting our early mistakes, making it visually more appealing, much more complex and adding multiplayer. To celebrate the 1 year anniversary we offer a two week 50% discount. As always, thank you all for your support.
