Endless TV Tycoon Reviews

The concept is fun, but the fact that the in game ads are just ads about the game and trying to get people to do a MONTHLY subscription is wild. The game is decent but not good enough for a subscription. Being that it’s a few years old I am confused on why the devs stuck to a subscription model. And the ad popping up ever 2-3 turns makes me want to delete the game.

Edit: Adding this bit due to developer response. One time purchase would be a better option. I don’t think it’s a great business model to force a subscription because with the way ads are set up right now, at times the game seems unplayable. Again, being that this game is a few years old it shouldn’t still be a subscription model.

This game is quite frustrating. Making money and leveling up is a bit difficult since the game at first doesn’t really tell you how. I assumed if I made awesome shows and finished out my seasons that the network would pay me or i’d get some mind if royalties for viewership, etc. But so far i’ve learned that the only way to level up, is to make money. And the only way to make money is to make a profit with the studio’s budget. So I have to skimp out on my show’s quality so I can make profit. Just to have the episode be rated poorly and make NO money off that. And if that ever occurs, you’re stuck for like 2-3 seasons trying you best to make up for that loss. It’s ridiculously frustrating. There needs to be other sources to make money. If my show is getting millions of views, is the highest watched on the network, or new seasons keep getting ordered. Give me the incentive to keep going. I had to make 4 seasons of a show before I leveled up. I don’t mind a grind, but that’s crazy.

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 .

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.

I noticed you guys gave me a response on my last review and that has me excited. I do have one more suggestion. I’m not trying to promote any game or anything but just trying to help, there’s a game called BoxOfficeSim. It’s very similar to this but it’s movies instead. That game itself still has a lot of problems but all I’m saying is if you compare your game to theirs features wise I think you might be able to get some more ideas on your belt. I think especially if you take a look at the way they have their actor/actress system and made it similar you’d get a little bit better of a response. Only a suggestion, again not trying to advertise the game I’m just trying to let y’all know that’s something to look into. This game has a lot of potential in my book, I certainly think comparing it to other games like this and adding in features they successfully have into this game would make it a lot better. Have a good day

Writers/directors/etc don’t seem to grow in their fields; and the pools are small so I see the same names when I hire/audition. There’s no reason/incentive to change a writer or director from episode to episode (which would more accurately reflect real life). Actors are hired on an episode by episode basis rather than locked into series contracts, which again would be more true to life. Consultants are useful in theory but in practice are money sinks. It’s the start of a good game but I’m four years into it and can see it’s going to be a lot of grinding the same stuff just to make money; there’s no deeper end game I can see.

I love games like this. I personally get hooked to mobile games like this and pour unhealthy hours into them. This game is probably the longest I’ve poured into. When I found this in October I was actually really surprised with how fun it was, at least once you start actually making a good profit. This game is an uphill battle about 90% of the time. Once you have two or three shows it’s when the game starts to take off. Playing for three hours to get the level 2 isn’t the best idea but once you get there it gets a bit easier. I hit level 3 soon and was making a good profit with about 7 shows and most of them in the 10-11th season. Other than my first show which I stopped after season 3. The game also has a lot of depth but you need a lot of patience to even get anywhere. Have it easier and make it easier to get show runners and it’ll be an awesome game worthy of 5 stars

I used to play this game non-stop but the funding plan that was chosen awhile back really turned me off and made me feel like I wasted my money. The game has a lot of potential. The developers need to make money but there were and are better ways of doing that than what they chose. Put ads in and allow people to purchase a no ads version, or something along those lines. There are a lot of things that could be added to the game but rn I want to see the longline options to be removed and there to be just a custom longline option. Being forced to choose from the generic options can be a bit of a roleplaying killer for me. Overall, good game and I’m excited to see what happens with it.

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.

I love this game but there are a few drawbacks. One being it is a bit too hard to level up, if you could make it a bit easier to level up. Second being I think there should be more ways to make money to make it just a bit easier to level up.

Ok. Here are some ideas I have.
One, Although this is a tv show studio, I think at some level you should be able to make movies.
Two, I think you should be able to make commercials about your upcoming show to hype up fans in a way.
Lastly, I think there should be a few more episode number options like 12-16 episodes, and you should be able to change the amount of episodes through every season.

Thank you very much for reading.
I know it’s hard to add a lot of things at once but if you could add just one out of my three it would make the game much more exciting to play, if you can add all 3 that would be great.
Again add what you can or want.
Thank you.

Games is really fun but you need to change that the network provides the budget and if we go over budget we use our own money. Also make sure you have same budget for each episode it’s annoying when you have multiple shows and having to change little things each week just make the game faster and still fun. And maybe give better statistics on shows and maybe have and all time best show not just the current shows. Overall this game is good but it could be amazing with these changes and maybe some more. Regardless good job!

This might be the best mobile tycoon game out there. It is so simple, yet so engaging and a great way to kill time. The mechanics are SUPER EASY to use and if I am ever troubled, I just go to the FAQ section and everything is solved. I really appreciate how neatly organized everything is, and I hope I can get even farther in this game. If I had to nitpick at the game I would say that there is no way to do an ad campaign from my understanding (please correct me if I’m wrong) even though it is supposed to be a benefit to one of the action types. But other than that, great game, huge fan, hope the developer makes more like it. 😀😀😀😀

I love this game it’s fun but I don’t know how to use or find the new manage your own network feature

Edit:
Thank You! That really helped I’ll be looking forward to the next big update also I have a suggestion that could be helpful to people who are free-to-play or can’t afford to pay for Ultimate Pass
Here it is:
1. Raffles: Raffles are daily events that offer early access features and premium stuff for free here’s how they would work players have 5 free raffle tickets and can get more by completing quests,buying them directly through IAPs,or watching ads so they are still profitable and it’s like the SpongeBob meme “I don’t need it…I NEED it” as it encourages players to continuously play the game for the chance to earn the rewards that come from the raffles and raffles work like real raffles where the more tickets you put towards something the higher your chances of winning will be

Love your work hope you consider this suggestion thoroughly and respond at your earliest convenience

This is the type of game I’ve wanting to play for a long time. A few suggestions for implementing:

- Pitch shows to multiple networks. More realistic than pitching to just one network. More in line with what happens in the real world.

- Ratings algorithm need to be fine tuned. In real life there is definitely viewership swings from week to week but not as drastic as found in this game. It’s not uncommon to see shows rate from low single millions to double digit millions throughout the season. Also, quite a few shows get 0 viewership ratings. I don’t think that’s possible even for a low rated show.

- Episodes on broadcast/cable always seem to run Monday at 8. Glitch?

- Consider adding other revenue funnels. DVDs, product placement, landing on streaming services, people buying individual episodes, syndication, etc.

- This is probably outside the parameters of the game but a lot of TV networks now have their own production companies to lower costs. Could be fun to run your own network with the shows produced, green light other studio shows, compete with other networks, land advertising deals, etc.

Look forward to new features! Keep up the great work.

This is a great game and it is very addicting for me. However, there has been a bug or a glitch that I have been experiencing for the past few days now, which is the ”end week” button on the calendar is not green anymore, it is grey and whenever I press it, the whole app just crashes and it sends me straight to my home screen. But overall this is a great game which is very addicting. I hope this bug that I have been experiencing gets fixed as soon as possible and I also wish that this game gets frequently updated as well. I wish the developer of this game every success with this game.

I Know this game is still in development but something I think you should add is the money used for making episodes shouldn’t be from the studio it should be from the network that is giving you the money to make the show.I think another thing you could add is actually gaining money from the views of the show,and the advertisements like perhaps the Network could split the amount of Earnings from that show with you. That’s all I suggest good game and please continue working on it because it can be a really good game

Also I forgot to add this but Maybe later in the game once you get to the top you can try to make your own Network and see how that goes Anyways I can’t wait for the next Version

It’s a fun game. I love simulation games, so I’ve already spent an unhealthy amount of time playing it since I downloaded it. Haha. I do have some minor critiques.

I believe firmly in the higher tiered genres required better results, however, it seems almost impossible even after playing for hours to make the first step.

Maybe I just have terrible luck, but even after following suggestions I will try to do the first episode and fail with a 56 when I need a 57 and that’ll happen about ten times, I’ll be running out of money, then I’ll restart. Maybe it’s something you can look at tweaking as you continue to work on development.

Another complaint is that I feel like at some point you should consider allowing the actors to progress in some manner. Maybe introduce an age factor, they can develop and grow to become better actors somehow, maybe as they hit around 60s things slow down a bit and they lose their edge some, new actors take their place, cont. Same with your directors and writers.

That’s all I can think of for now as far as critiques and suggestions. I think you got a great base to build off of and I can’t wait to see what you do with EndlessTVTycoon .

I’ll be honest - starting your studio can be one of the most difficult challenges of the game. Getting the hang of it and trying to profit off the shows can be a hassle (I had to retry 6 times), but once you get the hang of it, you’ll be hooked to the game. There’s clearly some features missing due to this being a new game, but I am so far enjoying the experience and the happy chemicals I get from seeing my shows succeed!

Some features I’d suggest adding would be to allow us to customize the logline, as that tends to be limiting and I’d rather create a new concept of my own. Awards would be a nice feature too, as well as the ability to see the stats of each show and the views the season/episodes got. This game has so much potential and I can’t wait to see the upcoming updates!

I’ve been having a blast managing my studio and creating TV shows in this game! The level of detail and customization makes it so enjoyable, and I love how creative I can be with my projects. However, I think the game would be even more amazing with the ability to create feature films. It would open up so many more possibilities, like expanding into sequels and creating massive franchises! As someone who enjoys building out entire cinematic universes, this would add a new layer of excitement and strategy. Managing both TV shows and feature films would really capture the true essence of running a studio. I hope to see this feature in future updates! Overall, this game is fantastic, but adding feature films and the ability to develop sequels and franchises would make it perfect!

After the last update and fix some problems, these are some new problems
1- When the best actors and directors are put in place, the series is canceled
2- In the event that the cheapest and lowest reps are put in place the episodes are rated 100% ؜ Glitch is considered to raise a lot of money and finish the game in one hour
3- In case you have more than 4 active series when searching for actors for a new series that says to me, he found 10 actors, but inside the series no one appears to choose

Suggestions
1- If a system for the studio was developed and facilities were established to buy it, such as a music studio with levels and another for visual effects, while deducting the amount from my balance for a longer life of the game and also upgrading your studio, which opens you the possibility of contracting with larger channels and with higher evaluations of the quality of your production
