*2025-03-19, version 1.17*

Kairosoft games are always a HIT I never get bored & they always come out with amazing career paths to play & pursue.

*2025-03-06*

I’ve been playing their games for years and I’m still addicted. Worth every cent!

### 5/5 — Finally!!!!

*2025-02-10*

I’ve been waiting a lifetime for a game like this. If only it was a movie one instead of just tv series but no complaints, addictive as hell. 🫡

### 5/5 — Tv studio story

*2025-02-03*

Good game - keep improving and growing you games

### 5/5 — Familiar and Novel

*2025-01-18*

The design and mechanics aren’t different from other games Kairosoft has developed, but the concept is fun and it keeps you engaged enough to explore the other mechanics. Def recommend! (But def want to see a new Monster Bay style…)

### 5/5 — Played this for five hours straight

*2025-01-02*

So I give this game one star for each hour

### 5/5 — Kairosoft

*2024-12-16*

Kairosft games are always peaceful  and perfectly entertaining for a winding down mobile game

### 5/5 — Very fun 📺👍

*2024-12-04*

Gameplay is similar to Game Dev Story so it’s nostalgic that way.

I find it easy to get into a momentum making show after show that I don’t notice the in-game years and months pass by. It’s just fun.

Combos and compatibilities are intuitive so you can definitely get by by guessing, but there are so many more combos for each genre and theme that it’s fun to discover the others for yourself.

### 5/5 — 疲れないのも魅力

*2024-11-30*

安心のカイロソフトクオリティ。何より今作はだいたいの方針をゲーム側が示してくれるので、そこまで深く考えなくてもある程度は何とかなる。

### 5/5 — 게임개발스토리가 생각나는 재미

*2024-11-29*

카이로게임 수집만다하고 잘안했었는데 오랜만이 즐기고있습니다.

### 5/5 — やっぱり面白い

*2024-11-17*

カイロソフト中級者の小心者でありますが、やっぱり面白いなぁと、(ストアのレビュー数が多いやつや、評価高いやつを選んでるからかもだけど…)

### 5/5 — Fun.

*2024-11-10, version 1.17*

Very similar to Game Dev Story but with just enough different elements to keep it interesting.

### 5/5 — やっぱり

### 1/5 — 何をやってるのかわからない

*2025-01-17*

7年目、この後出来ること増えますか？ テーマ選択、タレント事務所選択、スタジオ編集などで番組を作りますが、、、 テーマが変わっても撮影風景は同じ タレント変わっても動きは同じ スタジオ編集は出来ること少な過ぎ(カイロの町作り系が10とすれば今回は1) 同じ映像をずっと繰り返しているだけで、7年目で何をやっているのかわからなくなりました。 創造タウンズ島や平安京、寿司屋などプレイしてキャラが動いているのが楽しく感じていましたが、今回のは自分には合わず非常に残念。 やられた。

### 1/5 — わんぱく動物園よりは。

*2023-09-03*

わんぱく動物園よりはおもしろいかも。

### 3/5 — 面白い

*2025-06-10*

結構面白いが、ゲーム発展国ににっている

### 3/5 — Just okay

*2024-02-01, version 1.17*

I feel like some of the new games are money grabs. This game has no ultimate goal.

### 3/5 — Game Dev Story Remake

*2024-01-21, version 1.17*

Alright great. Now apply this winning formula and further refinement of systems to a SEQUEL for GAME DEV STORY. Here’s additional feedback for THAT game:
1. Interruptions are worse than ever. Put them on a scrolling banner or something, but the windows that pop up every 2 seconds is all the gameplay you’re giving me. It’s okay to let me watch the cute little simulation play out without anything to do for more than 2 seconds, I promise.
2. Longevity: add 100’s of years to that sucker. Make it incremental. Use your imagination for the future. Cyberpunk? Time travel to run a game studio in jurassic? Why not. Add more game. 
3. Port the great refinements on systems you’ve made such as picture-in-picture, hold-to-speed-up, applying knowledge of post dated projects to training, and so much more - put that great code into the next Game Dev story. The market, your fans, the tycoon fanbase, we need you! Give us the sequel to Game Dev Story! 

Give us Game Dev Story 2 !

### 3/5 — Basic Cable

*2023-12-08*

More or less a retread of any early Kairosoft release. Almost a throwback - there just isn’t much to do, nor much depth to the handful of things you can do. 
A solid game for folks who are new to Kairosoft stuff, I guess? Otherwise, definitely not an essential entry in their canon.

### 4/5 — Good

*2025-12-26, version 1.17*

Exceptional

### 4/5 — Great gameplay without micro transactions

*2024-12-14*

If you know Kairosoft‘s games you won’t be disappointed by this release either. It’s a rather unique take on the topic of TV production but the game concept is the same as in other releases. It’s fun and keeps you wanting more all the time.

### 4/5 — 相変わらず面白い

*2024-09-30*

有料でも払ってやる価値あります

### 4/5 — It’s fun

*2024-07-06, version 1.17*

I quite enjoy it, it’s a fun, but slightly tedious, time waster.

I have not much to say other than, keep making games Kairosoft!

### 5/5 — 갈수록 재밌어요

*2026-04-08*

처음 샀을 때는 생각하던 게임이 아니라서 약간 실망 했는데 하다 보니까 재밌네요 카이로 게임 특징답게 초반에는 자금 때문에 조금 힘들지만 버티면 곧 괜찮아요. 그렇다고 막 너무 쉬워 지는 난이도도 아닌 듯.

### 5/5 — Fun
