Quoi de neuf dans la dernière version ?
This update introduces the New Episode Production System—a major upgrade that changes how episodes are created from the ground up. It also lays the foundation for the upcoming Critics & Viewer Reviews feature.
And there’s even more good news for everyone: Planned Show Endings is now free for all players.
*** New Early Access Features
These features are available to Ultimate Pass holders as a thank-you for supporting this indie game’s development. They will become free for everyone once the next Early Access feature is released.
** Creative Direction System
The biggest addition in the new production system is Creative Direction. These new parameters define the style, tone, and feel of your episode—and whether it matches what viewers actually want.
This gives you far more control over how your shows feel—not just how much you spend on them.
There are 12 new episode parameters, grouped into four categories:
• Creative Identity: Tone, Humor Level, Realism
• Performance & Rhythm: Pacing, Acting Style, Music Style
• World & Look: Visual Style, Location Style, Set Style
• Storytelling: Structure, Narrative Density, Dialogue Style
Every genre has its own recipe for success, so part of the challenge is discovering what works best.
** Heat Map Feedback
After each produced episode, you’ll see a heat map showing how close your settings were to the ideal values. Getting close brings you better results, and hitting the sweet spot earns you a star, marking the perfect match.
Audience taste isn’t static, though. Trends shift. When that happens, you’ll get notified during End Week, so you know it may be time to adjust your direction.
That’s where Last Known Values comes in. A second heat map shows what worked earlier—usually close, but not always perfect anymore.
** Budget vs Creativity
For the first time, smart creative choices can outperform pure spending. Episode Scores now depend just as much on Creative Direction as on traditional production spending.
This means:
• A low-budget episode can still perform well if the creative choices land.
• A high-budget production can carry weaker creative decisions.
Episode production becomes more personal, more experimental, and far less predictable.
*** New Free Features
This update also includes a large set of improvements available to everyone right now.
Production Experience Upgrades
• Fully Redesigned Episode Production Screens: One of the most-used screens in the game has been rebuilt with modern controls and a cleaner layout.
• Episode Summary: The top of the Produce Episode screen now shows a quick overview of the episode’s key attributes, including finances.
• Start Production—Faster: The Start Production button is now immediately visible, so you can begin without unnecessary scrolling.
Production Spending
• Existing parameters have been reorganized under the new Production Spending category and grouped into: Key Talent, Supporting Cast, Production, and Post-Production.
• These improve quality reliably—but each increase costs more.
Visual Improvements
• Talent Hiring Screen Upgrade: Already-hired talent is now visible, making comparisons easier.
• Sleek Sliders: Remaining parameters now use faster, cleaner slider controls.
Smarter Decision Support
• Impact Hint: Each spending parameter now shows how strongly it affects quality for the selected genre. No more guessing what’s actually worth the money.
• This replaces the old Consultant system, which has been removed to reduce clutter—and reduce budget pressure.
• Rebalanced Costs: Spending parameter costs have been reviewed and adjusted for more realism.
Misc Improvements
• Knowledge Base and Tutorial updated have been updated.
• Rare crash when scrolling the episode list very quickly has been fixed.
*** Planned Show Endings — Now Free
This previously Early Access feature allows you to end your shows on your own terms—whether you’re running a studio or a network.
Happy TV empire-building!
