In Empire TV Tycoon you manage a television channel and take on the fight for audiences while leading your business to fame and fortune. You will choose the content of your channel, select advertisers, hire staff and actors, manage your own show productions, and much more! The game was inspired by games like Mad TV, Mud TV and other movie management games, with a modern approach on how to produce custom content like movies or TV shows. Yet you better not be tempted to use illegal content! Just like in real life, pirated movies may be cheaper, but the risk of using them is high and police forces are always on the alert. Each audience group has their likes and dislikes. Make them happy and your fame will grow, make the wrong choices and your channel will never be talked about again. While you work your way through the markets, your advertisers will increase their demand and possibly request the impossible – it is up to you to fulfill their requests. Your walk of fame will also rely on the proficiency and level of expertise of your staff, so always keep an eye on them! Not only will you produce TV shows, you will also produce and direct movies that are based on personalized and randomized movie scripts with lots of combinations fitting every genre. Your work as a director will influence the quality of the productions’ outcome , last but not least because you know how to handle the strengths and weaknesses of conceited or frustrated actors as well. For even more publicity and success with your movie business, you will submit your productions to top notch industry awards in different categories. And the Oscar goes to...?

There’s too much information and stuff going on for there to be no pausing to figure out a plan. ### 1/5 — Spiel startet nicht *2021-01-03, version 1.2* Auf dem IPad Pro 11 startet das Spiel nicht. Direkter Absturz der App. Schade. ### 5/5 — Bien, mais buggé *2020-10-22, version 1.2* Salut, je jouais au jeu et voulais créer un film, mais quand je vais sur le réalisateur, le jeu me laisse avec un panneau vide sans moyens de sortir et un : « Scripts disponibles : » ### 5/5 — Great game don’t know why others hate it *2020-06-03, version 1.2* This games is in my top favorites and I wish it was popular one bug witch is ok is when I click the movie button it does not let me sometimes. Overall VERY GOOD Games wish no bad content like buying adult content for movies in it, but it ROCKS!!!! ### 5/5 — Imaginative *2019-10-15, version 1.2* It somehow makes me imagine about making movies etc and it’s a really fun experience, I got this game like 2 years ago and still play it. ### 2/5 — Nicht fehlerfrei *2019-09-13, version 1.2* Eine schöne sehr unterhaltsame mobile Umsetzung von MadTv. Beim Spielen zieht früher oder später immer ein Konkurrent uneinholbar an mir vorbei. Ob ich hier nur die Spielmechanik nicht verstanden habe oder es anderen auch so geht kann ich nicht sagen. Störend und daher nur zwei Sterne sind Fehler: Datenbankeinträge fehlen (Filmproduktion verliert alle bereits produzierten Filme) Livenachrichten sind nicht sichtbar (Auswahlmenu ist leer keine Optionen definiert) Beim produzieren mehrer Filme fehlen bleibt da Studiomenu ebenfalls leer kann nicht weiter gespielt werden ### 2/5 — Too Fast *2019-05-15, version 1.2* I think this game wasn’t meant to run on faster iPads. Liked this game on my PC and wanted it for iPad but it runs too fast. No option to pause the game either. :( ### 2/5 — Good idea, but app is incomplete *2019-03-31, version 1.2* The idea for this app is great, but it is a very incomplete app. There’s so much more they could have added, and a lot of parts of the game don’t even work. ### 4/5 — Wird es je wieder ein Update geben? *2018-07-06, version 1.2* Das Spiel macht Spaß, allerdings hat es einige Bugs und hätte Potenzial, weiterentwickelt zu werden. Wird es ein Update geben? ### 4/5 — F *2018-03-23, version 1.2* This game has a book where it says Scripps not available it won’t let you make any more productions ## Frequently asked questions about Empire TV Tycoon ### What is Empire TV Tycoon about?
