If you pay attention to industry layoffs, you'll know the news media - media in general, really - is in a bad spot right now. I can't remember the last time it wasn't in a bad spot. Perhaps in the 1930's, which is the setting for News Tower, a newspaper management sim in which you attempt to construct your empire in New York from 1929 onwards.

[h2]NEW TRAILER: THE WOLF OF BROOKLYN[/h2]

The year is 1929, and you're about to become the next media mogul in New York City. But be careful, the news business is cutthroat, and you'll need to be ruthless to succeed...

Well today, George, our very own Wolf of Brooklyn, will share with you his most useful tips to becoming New York's most influential (and rich) publisher...

[h2]ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER TEASE....[/h2]

It has to do with the original soundtrack of the game...
And if you paid attention, there is a hint right in this blogpost!

[h3]I'll put it here in case you missed it:[/h3]

Take care and see you soon in the Tower,

The News Tower Team

[h3]Welcome and a good day to you, dearest publishers & future media mavens![/h3]

We are THRILLED to unveil our News Tower demo, now available as part of the Steam Economy and Capitalism fest!

To be a successful media mogul, master the printing process.
Remember, there is one rule: print every Sunday and beat the Sunday deadline with more articles.
Get more revenue by delivering more articles with impressive combos and extensively researched content. Increased earnings will pave the way for a higher Tower and expanded article coverage... And more money!
Well, you get the idea, right? 😎

Keep in mind that our demo is a work in progress for what News Tower Early Access will look like!





[h2]📰 DEMO CONTENT[/h2]

In the News Tower demo, you can experience the full tutorial as well as 6 months of publishing newspapers, up until July 1930 - with limited access to buff items, shops, and storylines.

To become a successful publisher in a short time, you'll need to optimize your production as much as possible!



[h3]Here are a few tips on how to play the demo the best way![/h3]

[h3]Focus on Crime and Sports[/h3]
The demo allows you to unlock 6 districts in Brooklyn and 3 in Queens, whose readership is particularly interested in juicy crime reports and fascinating sports news.
By focusing your reporters on these news items, you will help them gain experience and work faster!

[h3]Dismiss news that don’t fit your needs[/h3]
On the news map, you can dismiss news items that aren't relevant to your publishing goals for the week. This will free up your news searcher's line of communication!





[h2]🗽 HOW TO PLAY THE DEMO[/h2]

[h3]Go on our store page below and click on the "Download" button as showcased under! As simple as that![/h3]

[h2]📝 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS[/h2]

[h3]Will my progress carry over when I buy the full game?[/h3]

The demo build is still a work in progress, our goal being to gather your feedback and keep improving News Tower to eventually create the best possible version of the game. Before the full release, we will keep on implementing changes, meaning that, unfortunately, your progress will not be carried over.

*****************

You can play the News Tower demo from January 8th 10AM Pacific time until January 15th 10 AM Pacific time!

[h3]What has changed since News Tower Closed Beta?[/h3]

We’d like to thank once again all our Closed Beta players whose feedback has been very valuable!

Progression and unlocking reworked:

• You can now unlock districts even if you haven’t met all the necessary tags but you will get less subscribers.

Shop distribution reworked:

• You can now have access faster to the much needed security items to protect your tower from mobsters and protesters.

Mafia mission reworked:

• Our mafia boss is now kinder to you and doesn’t send his goons on the first missions.

*****************

[h3]In what languages is News Tower available?[/h3]

News Tower is currently available only in English in his Early Access phase. We appreciate your understanding as we focus on refining the game! More languages will surely come along at a later point.

[h3]Will there be ongoing improvements and updates during Early Access?[/h3]

Absolutely! We're committed to enhancing News Tower continuously during the Early Access based on your valuable feedback. Your input will play a crucial role in shaping the game's development!
