Your TV Empire Starts Here
Running a television studio involves far more than pointing a camera at a stage.
In TV Studio Story, every production begins with an idea. You’ll decide on the show’s theme, choose its genre, build the perfect set and cast the right performers, all in the hope of creating the next ratings sensation. Some combinations will prove far more successful than others, rewarding players who aren’t afraid to experiment.
Of course, no network can survive on a single hit, so once one programme has aired, it’s straight back into production for the next big thing.
Finding Tomorrow’s Biggest Stars
A successful show also needs memorable talent. Building relationships with different agencies unlocks new performers, each bringing their own strengths to particular genres. Choosing the right cast for the right programme can make all the difference once the cameras start rolling and the audience tunes in.
Meanwhile, your production staff won’t be sitting around either. They’ll head out to scout fresh filming locations, uncover new themes and gather decorative items that expand your creative options even further.
Of course, making great television is only half the challenge. Promoting your latest productions through magazines, radio stations and social media helps attract new viewers, increasing your audience and giving your growing studio even more opportunities to expand.
It’s another example of the deceptively deep management systems that Kairosoft has become famous for over the years. Like Game Dev Story, Dungeon Village, Cafe Master Story and many of the studio’s other sims, success comes from finding the right balance between creativity, careful planning and smart business decisions.
If you’ve found yourself losing countless hours to previous Kairosoft releases, there’s every chance this latest arrival will have exactly the same effect.
Another Easy Recommendation For Management Fans?
Few developers have carved out a niche quite like Kairosoft. Its games may look simple, but they’re remarkably good at delivering that familiar just one more hour feeling, and TV Studio Story looks ready to continue that tradition.
Whether you’re a long-time fan of the developer’s management sims or simply fancy swapping football pitches and fantasy kingdoms for television studios, there’s another pixel-art obsession waiting on Xbox.
TV Studio Story is available now for Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and Windows PC with Xbox Play Anywhere support, priced at £11.74 from the Xbox Store.
