I sure do miss the newspapers of yesterday. This game does a great job of stepping back to the golden age of the business. Fun, retro tycoon game. Out on 13 Feb. Here is a look at the start of the game.

This looks good. The thumbnail for the video and this post is a little confusing though. The game is called "News Tower".

News Tower, yes :)

Fun game. Free demo. Give it a go.

Does it come with a paperboy mini game?

[–] dracs@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

That would be amazing!!

One that actually slightly boosts or decreases your circulation. It'd be so good. Also AI-generated text articles could be incredible.

Thanks, I downloaded the demo. Looks interesting.

I’ve been counting down the days until release. This will be one of the very few times I get something in early access.

Also I’m so glad demos are a thing again.

I hope they work on the UX a bit, especially for Steam deck. That would make the game perfect IMO. Otherwise I’ll still play it and have fun, but I’ll grumble about the UX.
