Taking the Leap into 2025

Happy New Year! 🥂 After a hectic 2024, we took a short break over the holidays to recharge. This week, we’re back at it, ready to take our games to the next level and bring you more fun along the way! 🤗

We’ve made a big change internally. From now on, I—Greg Karpati—will be the sole developer of Endless TV Tycoon. Honestly, this has already been the case for a while, as Norbert shifted his focus to developing Endless Superhero HQ. Now it’s official, which means I can communicate more directly with you—no more “we,” just me!

🛠️ Bug Fixes and What’s Next

This week, I collected and sorted through all the feedback and bug reports about the network management features. Thank you for reporting them! 😘

The most urgent issue many of you flagged was that player-owned networks weren’t receiving enough—or sometimes any—show pitches, or that only one network was getting them. I’ve squashed that bug, and Hotfix 2024.4.2 is live now. Please update if you ran into this!

Next on my list: tackling the rest of the known bugs, and investigating why advanced games slow down so much. Once the fixes are complete, I’ll dive into the next major update: the Planned Show Endings feature.

💖 Support Endless TV Tycoon

I started this game in 2019 as a passion project, powered by an amazing, if small, community. Its niche focus means traditional funding methods like one-time purchases or ad revenue wouldn’t sustain development.

That’s why subscriptions are vital. Your support directly funds updates, new features, and improvements. While the game isn’t self-sustaining yet, every bit of support gets us closer.

• A Basic Pass speeds up development and ensures an interruption-free experience.
• An Ultimate Pass unlocks 1,500+ Promo Images, Early Access features, Feature Voting, and your name in the Hall of Fame!

Thank you for supporting this journey—it means the world to me. 🥰
