Køb M.U.D. TV

It may not sound it... But "M.U.D TV" is a very fun tv broadcasting simulator! You can broadcast ads, shows, make shows, make your studio, check your stats, mess up other tv shows (kinda XD) and theres an npc called nuck chorris! 7/10

A frustrating clone of MAD TV, which takes the original, gives it a 3D graphical facelift, and undermines enjoyment through long loading times and pointless frustrations. It keeps on coming close to the addictive brilliance of the original, but never quite gets there.

Not much to say. Nice idea but the bugs and the way the company communicates is a no-go.

• not a single post in the forums
  
• just release this game to grab some extra money - even with the knowledge that there is a memory leak which will not be fixed
  
• in general no support will be given to the game - uncool to release a game on Steam then
  
• a bug occured that makes loading a game impossible - game crashes after opening the time table

Again a nice idea wasted. Better take a look to the free open source game TVTower (http://www.tvgigant.de/en/index)

I would recommend this game for only one reason: to learn how advertisements work on TV!

I really want to like this game but I can't play it for more than twenty minutes before it crashes for no reason. If your going to play it, remember to save every two minutes, or you will have to play the same day over and over again. Please fix the crash issue.

One of the best simulation games I've played... until it crashes every time. Incredibly hard to get it running, it will only run on one of my 4 'modern' machines... and when it does run, it always crashes after a week or two in-game play... all indications are that there is a severe memory leak. Among other technical issues related to starting it up...

Which is a shame because when I finally got it running, until the inevitable crash, each game was outstanding.

I am not sure why it crashes for some people, I have 17 hours playing so far, the in game timer has reached day 8 in mission 2 and no problems.

Only one time did it "crash" but I had alt-tab out of the game, then returned after an hour to play some more and it froze up. But other games will do this at times.

Game play is more puzzle than anything, but you still have to get a strategy to finish each mission.

The only downside is there is no free play. Once you complete a goal for a mission it moves to the next goal and you have to start all over building again.-- No free play after you finish a mission---

There is free play in the custom game.

- "Create your own character and guide them through your own hard-earned television empire"

You do not get to create your own character in game, you get to play the story presented as Matt. There is a seperate exe that lets you make a custom character


Overall, a fun game that is worth one go around, but does not seem to have much replay value. I was glad I picked this one up.

Great game if you save enough and can get past the crashes. If you are not the patient type you should forgoe this buy.

Not worth the money. It took about an hour to actually get it working because it would crash after the opening. The learning curve is a bit steep and after that, it's not even worth it because the game itself is very boring, dull and the humor.. is.. well. The jokes try hard to be funny but, end up being offensive and stupid.

The gameplay is incredibly confusing. It tries to be realistic but, ends up just being tedious.

I don't recommend this game at all.

Interesting attempt at a Hospital Tycoon genre game. MUD TV gives the player an avatar, and makes them run around between rooms if they want to do things. In the real world, it means your attention isn't focused where you wish it was, and having a good strategy can lose to poor base-building organization. All in all this is what hurts the game most of all to me: In other games I can dwell on one window as much as I want while I'm doing other tasks. Here, if one thing needs my constant attention, it stops me from doing anything else until I'm done.

Actor-wrangling has a pretty fun stat system, absolutely every person is interchangable in every role from acting to directing to postproduction, but stats that improve performance in some roles are actually a downside in others. There is no meaningful one-player mode: Your station is always competing with other (usually CPU-controlled) stations for viewers. Program production isn't *deep*, but it's better designed than a lot of stand-alone "make a movie" games that I've seen.

Unless you are playing as a public-supported station, the funding model is /weird/ to play. You gain no money directly from airing programs--instead, you buy contracts with advertisers for things like "within 48 hours, run this ad in 8 slots that have at least 2 million geek viewers". It's a cool idea, but the avatar control means you need to leave your station and run down to the ad station, and then you have to scramble to get the good ads before the other players do. It also means that making money is very boolean; you either hit your contracts and do well, or you whiff them and get screwed hard.

MUD TV innovates a lot and breaks a lot of genre conventions. If its changes worked, the execution is good enough that it would be genre-defining like Hospital Tycoon. However its experiments just don't seem to work for me. If you want a jump-in-and-enjoy genre game, maybe look elsewhere. If you're willing to experiment a lot, and explore the edges of the genre, give it a shot.

1.5 stars. This is a good idea for a game that appears to be poorly delivered. Maybe it's just me but I found it fairly hard to learn and even harder to play. Basically I'd rather go back to playing old Theme Hospital than slogging through this game.

Not really sure what I am doing wrong on this one. I can't seem to consistently do well at it. Which makes me think despite my best efforts that there is too much random element in your success. I may just be bad at the game. Seems overly frustrating games have been my bane lately. This one I have tried over and over and finally, I'm writing the 'I'm done with it' review. If I play two games I may do excellent on one, horrible on another. I don't think I'll be reinstalling it.

I really like the concept of M.U.D. TV - running your own television station - but I really don't like this game.

The AI is over-powered and will steamroller casual players.

The difficulty of ad contracts (how you make money) is determined by how many days have gone by in game (surprise! the AI is always ready for the difficulty increase), so if you lag behind you will find no contracts you can fulfill to catch up. At which point you can either quit and restart or wait to go bankrupt.

Crashing to desktop is not an uncommon experience.

Hardcore players may like the AI challenge, and multiplayer fans may enjoy playing each other. However, I do not recommend this game at any price because I do not believe the majority of gamers will enjoy M.U.D. TV.

M.U.D TV is a game about creating your own TV channel.This is a good game without good graphics without good sounds and camera is so annoying...BUT the gameplay.I love genre named tycoon.I started up with Game dev tycoon and ended with piece of ♥♥♥♥ named Airline Tycoon 2.Gameplay tightens you very much and you play and play and play.Technology is simple-you buy shows and making your own program of TV shows.You look in what time hipsters are watching your channel and picking up shows for them there also goths,bodybuilders etc.You can create your own show write down scenario and shoot it.You can employ workers.And how are you making money on it???It's advertising.OMG how it's hard to make money on advertisement bc the guys who give you it lay down conditions like we will give u money only if 400 000 goths will see our advertisement.And it's so hard to pick time where goths watching your channel.Unough talking i can talk forever.7/10

This title heavily suggests that there is multiplayer functionality. This is not the case. It also crashes on the second level in single player. Avoid like the plague.

A Very Funny Game to play, but Kalypso Media/Realmforge Studios could have added more stuff to it

Interesting concept, poorly executed. Still, I would recommend this game EXCEPT it always crashes in the middle of a game. I would not buy another game from this developer.

terrible please dont buy i was expecting this to be awesome just a waste of $10 and time

Well, the game lives upto it's own name. It's Mud.

M.U.D. TV has a great idea that is so crash-happy, boring, and convoluted that I don't recommend this for anyone

When you get it started, you begin with a small space on a random floor of an office building that can be expanded, to an extent, by building more rooms for different purposes, like a sound stage. You also have to hire the right people to get the job done. After that it just falls apart. You cannot spend too long on one item because the game won't pause while you're viewing screens. You can train people, but it becomes easier, but more expensive, to fire them and hire more competent people rather than wait for the original's training to complete. And God help you if you've built up your studio floor in a way that can't fit everything you want. It would have made more sense for everything to be in a pre-build layout and pay to have rooms unlocked/built.

The set-up isn't intuitive, making it heard to learn how to play... or even learn what the goal is.

Hard to learn. Hard to play. Hard to bother keeping up with it inbetween crashes.

What should be a fairly straightforward sim game is a convoluted mess, with a terrible interface and bad one-off jokes.
