I really like the concept! I would be a target audience for this kind of a game. I did only 1 episode per season, which I guess made it really easy to spend a lot of money on advertising and get the money rolling in fast! :D There could be challenges as "actors leaving" etc. to make it more fun, but I did enjoy the concept!

Thanks. Yes, I have to change the speed of the text.
I think the problem was due to not having tested the game well.
I saw that you have 28 minutes of bug fixing for your game. I have dedicated much less of it and this is one of the consequences. I think that for the next TriJam I will have to find a way to test the game better.
Oooops, I might be here a long time. 😊
Interesting game and I really like the flat graphics.
I'd mention only two things I had issues with:
- It's not obvious how the number of each of the things you can purchase will influence the end result, so I ended up with 6 actors and 10 musicians, but I don't feel the game provided any hints of what would happen if I had only one actor and one musician. I did make a big profit after 6 or 7 episodes, but still, it felt a bit random.
- Since I selected to run thru 2138 episodes, the text showing me the results of each of the episodes was too slow.
Other than that two, very nice entry 😊
Thank you!
1. You're right, it seems that things are random. This is because... they are random. Not completely, but I haven't thought about the values for the various components well enough and that's the result.
2. Yes, the text is too slow. This should teach the importance of testing the game settings well without using god mode
I would have liked to add some explanations about the effects of actors, musicians and more. And I would also have liked to add the ability to vary the length of the seasons during the game itself. But I got stuck both for the lack of time and for some design errors.
I am evaluating the idea of continuing the development of this game.
Thank you!
Yes, the text is too slow: I underestimated this aspect. I concentrated on the graphic effect without thinking about the contraindications. I'll have to remember it for the next Trijam.
I didn't have time to balance the game: the values and effects are almost random. In my intentions it wasn't meant to be. I think I made the wrong choice of values: I should have thought more carefully before I started writing the code.

Thanks. And thanks also for the nice reviews of all the competitors in your videos.
Yes, I think you're right: the text should be faster
