TVTower is a humorous business simulation (and a tribute to the 90s game "Mad TV") in which you are in the role of a programming director of a TV channel. Whether blockbuster or trash-tv - you decide what your audience can watch - but do they want it?
A long time has gone since our last news flash on indieDB but now ... now it is time for a huge (did I say huge? I mean HUGE!) update.
New features: Balancing of adcontracts (new profit - new penalty), improved GFX of datasheets (icons, more overview, more data exposed), begin of custom series production (scripts production is ready), improved AI (now sending trailers and better suiting ads), more realistic behaviour concerning trailer and infomercial broadcast, ad contracts could get limited to specific years, or that other contracts have had been signed X times before. XRated movies now trigger some officials if broadcasted during daytime (penalty and chance to lose your movie licence), more statistic screens, terrorist figures now react to switched room signs, adagency offers restructured, ai now uses the movie auction system, the unemployed is now part of the TV-family... and waaay more things, just check out the commits at our project at github - you missed like 300 of them.
Check it out now and download (Linux, Mac, Windows) it for free (no costs, open source!).

Hello. How can I buy actors and production stuff?
This is still on our TODO-list. Production of custom programmes will come in one of the next monthly releases. For now only scripts could be bought but are pretty useless...

Thank you so much. I really really want to that.
Maybe this game nees more AD(more expensive AD).
AD is useful for purchasing movie, series.
But programs are too much expensive...
PS. paid promgams are very useful for me.
Feel free to suggest such things in our forum: Gamezworld.de
Our User/TVTower-Roadie "Gast2" is currently evaluating the advertisments and this might decrease difficulty a bit (more money per day...).
bye

Why german? And not just english like the rest...
You can change this by adjusting config/settings.xml : set language to "en".
On of the next releases will tackle that problem (language switch option in the main menu screen). Settings will then be saved too.
From now on our startmenu has a language dropdown for easy language switching. Database (movies) is still "German" only but interface should be pretty much translated to English for now.

is this a remake of the DOS game MadTV?
Yes
