Hey everybody! We are so glad to announce that thanks to our recent partnership with Kalypso, Empire TV Tycoon is now available in the App Store for all you iPad users. Bear in mind that the game is only available for iPad (android tablet version will come in the following weeks). We have not released the game for mobile phones because the limited screen size makes the game almost non playable... anyway, we are looking for zoom features and a future phone version may come in a future. The iPad version is 1.6.2, the same one that we've deployed right now in Steam. This version includes optimization changes (among some fixes here and there) that we had to do in order to port the game to tablets. Finally, we want to thank all of you who have been working on mods to expand the core of the game. Please remember that mods let you play with the latest tvshows, movies, custom ads, etc! If you are a new player and want to try it, here are some of our recommended mods that you can find in the Workshop:
