Your Shows, Your Style — Custom Promo Images Are Here

Hey folks! 👋

I’ve been busy working on a couple of features that many of you have been asking about for a while — both related to promo images for your shows.

They’re now live in update 2026.2, so let’s take a quick look.

🔥 Custom Promo Images

If you’re an Ultimate Pass holder, you can now use your own images as promo images for your shows — both new ones and shows that are already running.

Just pick an image from your Photo Library, then pan and zoom to crop it exactly the way you want.

Before this update, the premium feature only allowed you to pick a specific promo image from the game’s built-in image library instead of the randomly assigned one when starting a show.

That option is still there — but now you have much more creative freedom.

Want to design your own promo poster? Found the perfect image somewhere online? Made something ridiculous with AI? 😄

Go for it.

Use anything that fits your show’s vibe and turn your schedule into a gallery of your own creations.

And if you make something fun, weird, or unexpectedly brilliant, feel free to share it with the community on Discord— we’d love to see what people come up with!

🎁 Prefer a Cleaner Look? Turn Promos Off

Not everyone wants promo images everywhere — and that’s totally fair.

So I also added a new option that lets you turn promo images off entirely.

When this setting is enabled:

• The show detail screen won’t display a promo image.
• In show lists, you’ll see the familiar draft image — the one used before a genre is selected when creating a show.

Basically: a cleaner, simpler interface if that’s your thing.

You can toggle this option in:

• Main Menu → Settings
• Or directly from the promo image selection screen of any show.

This option is available for everyone, not just Ultimate Pass users.

💖 Why Your Support Really Matters

This game started as a personal idea back in 2019. Thanks to this community, it somehow turned into a real, living thing.

Here’s the simple, unfiltered truth: Subscriptions buy me time. Time to build deeper systems instead of shortcuts. Time to polish instead of rushing. Time to keep this game weird, complex, and unapologetically niche.

There’s no publisher safety net here — just me, the game, and the people who care enough to support it.

Every subscription genuinely helps move things forward. It brings me closer to covering costs and unlocking even more awesome experiences for you. Together, we’re building something truly special.

A Basic Pass removes the End Week interruptions about subscriptions.

The Ultimate Pass is more like joining the inner circle:

• You unlock Premium Features: Choose from over 1500 promo images for your shows or even use your own custom image from your photo library.
• You get Early Access to major new features while they’re still fresh. Currently: Shape the tone, style, and vibe of your shows like never before with the new Creative Direction system!
• You help decide what I build next through Feature Voting.
• And yes — your name lives permanently in the Hall of Fame! 🏆

If you’ve ever thought “I wish this game leaned more into that idea” — this is how you push it there. And if you’re enjoying where the game is headed, sticking around as a subscriber helps more than you might think.

There is however another way to support the game: with an App Store Rating. Whether you are able to support development with a subscription right now or not, dropping a rating with ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ on the App Store goes a long way in nudging the algorithm to show the game to new players. Seriously — thank you! 😘

👋 Until Next Time

I hope you enjoy the update.

And as always, I’d love to hear what you think — good or bad. Player feedback has shaped a lot of features in Endless TV Tycoon, and this update is another one that came directly from your suggestions.

That’s all, folks! 🐽 Thanks for sticking with this weird, stubborn, deeply niche TV management game — and this community.

Stay tuned... and until then:

Keep pitching.

Keep producing.

Keep scheduling.

Keep scheming.

And keep owning prime time! 📺🔥

Cheers,
