So what’s coming up next? The core game mechanics are in and for
now I add a lot of sugar on top to certain game aspects – simulators
for the song writers / musicians of a cast, they could go on tour,
have album chart placements and so on – stuff enabling content
creation without requiring the help of the community. And also
elements which allow affecting other parts of the game slightly.
Having a now famous star in a movie will increase chances to make
people watch our channel instead of the others. Little cog wheels
interlock more and more and it is nice to see the “magic” resulting
out of all these experiments. Nonetheless, I have to confess that
most players will never be aware of such extras. There is a weather
forecast to broadcast? Yes and what it broadcasts really happens (so
outside of the building it actually rains, snows and/or storms) – with
fewer people watching TV on warm sunny days or stormy days with
outages.
Chances to complete? With Brucey and NG being the backbone of
my 15-years-and-growing WIP game I am sure we can finish it
sooner or later. I just hope we all are still able to control a mouse
with our shaky hands then ;)
Want to see the game in action? Just open up youtube and check
“Let’s play TVTower” - have to confess almost all of them are
German even if there is a (incomplete)
English translation of interface
and game data.
