Network Management Has Arrived 🥳

We’ve hit a major milestone! After a year of dedicated development, the highly anticipated Network Management update is here, officially transforming Endless Studio into Endless TV Tycoon. 🚀

This update brings an incredible set of features that let you manage your own TV networks—a feature set voted as the most desired by our biggest fans last year. The wait is over, and we’re thrilled to finally deliver!

Will you start with a Production Studio, manage a Broadcast or Cable Network, or launch a Streaming Service? The choice is yours. Expand your TV empire as you progress, and conquer the entertainment world!

💖 Support Endless TV Tycoon

This game started as a passion project in 2019, created by just two guys. It’s a niche game supported by an amazing, dedicated community. Because of its unique focus, traditional funding methods like one-time purchases or third-party ads wouldn’t work.

That’s why we rely on subscriptions to keep development alive and thriving. Your support directly fuels updates, new features, and a better experience for everyone. While we’re not covering development costs yet, we’re confident that, with your help, we’ll get there.

• With a Basic Pass, you’ll speed up development and enjoy an interruption-free experience.
• With an Ultimate Pass, you’ll unlock over 1,500 Promo Images, Early Access features, Feature Voting, and a spot in our Hall of Fame!

Thank you so much for your support—we’re always working hard to bring you the best experience possible! 😘

🗳️ Feature Voting Results

Ultimate Pass holders play a big role in what we develop next through monthly Feature Voting. Voting Season 3 took most of 2024, as we poured enormous effort into the Network Management features. Throughout the season, Planned Show Ending consistently dominated the Top 5 and ultimately won the race.

We’re excited to announce that the next major update will introduce this feature! Soon, you’ll have the power to wrap up shows on your own terms—whether with a quiet conclusion or an epic finale. 💥 Networks will also be able to renew shows for a final season, giving studios the chance to plan ahead.

🔄 A New Approach to Feature Voting

We’ve learned a lot from developing the Network Management update. Tackling something so massive all at once took almost a year to complete. Offering too many features for voting also diluted focus—very few fans read through 60–70 options to cast their votes.

Moving forward, we’re doing things differently:

• Each voting season will feature 10 highly focused feature plans, all of which can be developed more quickly than Network Management.
• This approach lets us roll out desired features more frequently throughout 2025 and beyond.
• We’ll also list additional feature ideas, but these won’t be up for voting yet.

We believe this shift will bring you more exciting updates more often!

That’s all folks! 🐷 Happy empire building, and stay tuned for more updates from Endless TV Tycoon! 📺
