Evaluation

Mad Television Tycoon entered Steam Early Access on April 9, 2026, and Eggcode has maintained a remarkably active update cadence since launch. The 10 most recent news posts — all feature patches — span from May 4, 2026 through July 22, 2026, and each one delivers a mix of new systems and bug fixes. Notable additions across this period include: a thematic channel focus system (May 15–16), new film subgenres and piracy condition mechanics (May 7 and July 8), a player-accessible in-game store (June 18), new random events, three new film genres (July 22), and ongoing multiplayer refinements. The most recent update on July 22, 2026 continues this pattern with substantive new content. No roadmap or 1.0 release date has been announced, and the game is explicitly marked as unfinished. The developer remains clearly and actively engaged in building out the game.

Evidence

Update adds three new film genres (cartoon, erotic, historical), NPC shop interactions, new UI features, and multiple bug fixes — the most recent developer communication.

About this game

In Mad Television Tycoon, you take control of a small, insignificant TV station. Accept the challenge and lead your network to success! Under your leadership, will the station become the country's top channel with millions of viewers, or will the office lights soon go out for good? Beware - your rivals are not resting, and only with smart planning and a bit of skill will you manage to bring the best programming to the screens!

Your task is to strategically design your broadcasting schedule, maximize advertising revenue, and outshine the competition. You have a wide range of shows, movies, series, news, and entertainment programs at your disposal - place them wisely to attract viewers to their screens. Increase your reputation and buy new broadcasting towers across the country to expand your reach. Produce your own shows, acquire additional licenses, and use every tool at your disposal to make life difficult for your rivals.
