Update on Tinsel Town!

Let me preface by saying I'll be on the road for the next week in rural areas so won't be able to respond to any inquiries or posts on the Selectacorp.com forum (always the best way to get in touch or leave feedback). I'll reply to all upon my return.

Second, Tinsel Town 'Green Light' is auto-scheduled for release to Execs on 31st May, which covers off that release schedule commitment.

On the development front, I've been working on the next release-- 'Deal Memo'-- daily over the last three months. Today I completed the final major narrative arc-- whew!-- and will begin testing when I return. So, what's in 'Deal Memo'? Lots. Building off of 'Green Light' you now must pursue talent and projects that only a scrappy new studio would even consider. You'll have to make decisions about making the best out of what you can get your hands on-- if you even can secure the talent and deals at all. You'll have to make choices about which kinds of productions to invest in, how and when to establish your own studio lot and generally exploring and using what an expanded Tinsel Town environment can provide. You'll also begin to discover an 'underground' dimension to Tinsel Town that will reveal future opportunities to exploit. There's also the opportunity to hire and train Kimberly Mitchell as your sidekick in a way you see fit.

There are lots of major decisions to make and some paths will preclude others, so you'll need to choose carefully what outcome you seek. One includes the development of a whole new genre of entertainment, one you can develop under the imprimatur 'Red Carpet Ruin'.

Finally, by utilizing AI, I've been able to produce loads of graphic content to accompany and bring the on screen action to life. I've also used AI to help craft the narrative paths to provide the 'plausible reality' I've striven for in previous games.

I really feel like the game is clicking together in interesting ways and 'Deal Memo' establishes a firm foundation for all the major new subplots I've had in my head from the beginning. And if you were wondering, there will be connections back to the Company Man universe that start to reveal themselves in this release.

OK, TLDR: the next release is ready for testing and I'm planning on a July release at this point!
