Hey everyone, Happy New Year! It feels like the holiday season was such a long time ago now, but I hope you all enjoyed it and got some much-deserved rest. As for me, I’ve been busy behind the scenes working lots of new things, with plenty to share in 2022 as we work towards the 1.0 launch of Festival Tycoon. Let’s get going, shall we? [b]Lunar New Year Sale: [/b] In celebration of the Lunar New Year, Festival Tycoon will be 25% off between starting at 10am PST / 1pm EST / 6pm GMT today until February 3rd @ 10am PST / 1pm EST / 6pm GMT. This is the perfect time to either grab the game for yourselves if you’ve yet to do so or gifting it to a friend or loved one. [b]Band Coordinators: [/b] The Band Coordinator is here and will save you having to keep an eye on the gates for when Bands arrive. They’ll welcome those Z and A list bands to your festival, get them settled in, ensure they’re well looked after backstage before finally hitting the stage at their allotted time. They’ve been specially trained to deal with high maintenance band members.

I’d love to hear your feedback on this change either in our Official Discord or over in the Steam forums.
