Hello, it's been a while! I've found some time to put together an update to Showrunner, adding the morale system into the game, the ability to give staff raises and bonses, plus a few UI and balancing tweaks.Please note that due to structural changes required in the backend, saves from older builds won't be compatible with this new version. If you want to play with older saves, you'll need to opt in to the beta branch "beta - old builds" which gives you continued access to the previous build (v0.46). Right click Showrunner in Steam, then properties, then betas, then select beta - old builds fr

Hey Showrunner players! Wanted to give you an update on development for Showrunner in 2025. Development is continuing but this year updates will be slower/smaller than they were previously. The game has done okay so far in Early Access, a big thank you to everyone who has bought a copy so far. Unfortunately it hasn't sold enough copies to be self-sustaining as a full time project at the moment. As a result of this I've taken on work as a writer on another project. For the rest of the year I'll be primarily working on writing, with development on Showrunner taking place when there is additional

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42533599/ee7976f2c0cd9c90cb18b110628dd788d6c0b01e.png A fairly small update that adds difficulty selection options when creating new games (casual, standard and challenge difficulties) and three new show themes - crime, super hero and post apocalyptic! This build shouldn't cause crashes if used with saves from versions 0.44 or 0.4401, but the new show themes won't work correctly without starting a new game in this version or later (world screen will show no other shows of these types, popularity and competition will be set to 0). {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42533599/84c16e8d156df51e7

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42533599/9301d799e2aed1891ff4d6840cdcac9040e3ac09.png This update is all about making the world of Showrunner feel more alive, with scores of other shows to compete against and shifts to the popularity of themes over time! The makeup of your audience is now more complex, split into three groups - mainstream viewers, theme aficianados and hardcore fans. There are also a bunch of UI adjustments and quality of life improvements, with the finance screen now fully functional and listing out monthly costs, a list of studio upgrades achieved and screens to provide overviews on your

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42533599/077f0167a987636103d88cba9521780e5845ade4.png This update adds an editing system which allows you to select an editing focus to apply a percentage increase to one or two episode stats at the start of the editing phase, in exchange for a percentage reduction in one or two other stats. This system is a useful way to steer the episode stat scores towards favouring particularly important stats for the genre of your show (e.g. drama for drama show, plot for a procedural), which is a key factor in the review scores that episodes receive. There are 24 editing focuses, you s

A hotfix to try to sort out a couple of crashes. - Code to catch instances where staff stats are over 1000 when working on tasks, to avoid crashes - they perform as if stats are at the highest level. Also added clamping to staff stats after training, working in much the same way as after staff levelling, which should help prevent stats going over 1000. - Changed how players can access the Character Look screen, pressing the LOOK button will now close the character sidebar. Previously changing the character selected in the sidebar while adjusting the look of the character on the Character Look

We have lots planned to add to Showrunner in the coming year and beyond and we wanted to let you know some of the things you can expect! Thank you to everyone who has supported the game up to now. Feedback, bug reports and ideas are always very welcome and if you're enjoying the game so far, positive reviews here on Steam are a massive help. Please note that plans are fairly fluid so some features will probably end up being added that aren't mentioned here, while some elements listed below may end up changing or being dropped after more design work is done.

Brainstorming is a work type that writers can do which directly earns Script Points. It requires the Writer's Room to be upgraded to level 2 and for no writing to be currently underway. Once initiated it lasts for a set amount of time (5 days) before ending, or it can be ended earlier whenever the player likes. Brainstorming reduces staff energy
