News Tycoon

News Tycoon launched into Early Access on March 24, 2017. The developer, Oreol, posted two updates in the days following launch: a hot patch on March 25, 2017 addressing initial player feedback, and a more substantial feature update on April 7, 2017 that added new systems and outlined several features that were "almost here" — including a quests and tutorial system, a global newspaper ratings leaderboard, and a mail-from-readers system. That April 7, 2017 post is the last communication ever recorded from the developer. The game has remained in Early Access for over nine years with no 1.0 release, no further patches, and no explanation from the studio. The features promised in that final post were never delivered, and there is no indication of whether development is ongoing or has been quietly abandoned. Anyone considering this game should be aware that it appears to have been left in an unfinished state, with the developer unreachable since early 2017.
