Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Media Mogul is a big simulation with many interlocking systems: careers, businesses, staff, buildings and a living city. We want players in the game while it grows, so we can tune the economy, balance the careers and shape new features around how people actually play. Early Access lets us build the full media empire together with the community instead of guessing in isolation.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect Media Mogul to be in Early Access for roughly 3 to 6 months. This is an estimate. The final length depends on player feedback and how the larger features come together. We will keep the community updated on progress and any changes to the timeline.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“During Early Access we plan to:
- Improve character animations and the quality of models
- Add many more objects, furniture and studio equipment to build with
- Add new gameplay mechanics
- Add quality-of-life features, balancing and performance improvements throughout
These plans may change based on community feedback.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version of Media Mogul delivers all of the essential features. You start as a journalist, build your skills and career, and grow from a single small outlet into a full media empire. Along the way you rent and build your own studios and offices, hire and manage staff, produce TV shows and series, fund movies and launch your own streaming service, all while chasing ratings and advertising revenue in a living city. A detailed character creator, a full build mode for designing and decorating every space, and a World Editor for creating your own cities are included from day one. Early Access updates will expand on this with improved animations and models, more objects, new mechanics and quality-of-life features.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“No. The price will stay the same during Early Access and at full release. Everyone who buys during Early Access gets every future update at no extra cost.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Our Discord server is the main hub for feedback. Players can report bugs, share suggestions and talk directly with the developer there. We also read the Steam Community forums and post regular development updates through Steam news, explaining what changed and what is coming next. Player feedback will directly shape balancing, priorities and the order in which new features arrive.”

About This Game

From Byline to Broadcast Empire

You're a nobody with a small flat, an empty bank account and a dream of seeing your name in lights. Media Mogul is a business simulation in which you build a media empire from the ground up: from your first shift on the job to running a television network watched by millions.

Start at the Bottom

Take a job as a delivery driver, a dishwasher, a cashier or a librarian to pay the rent. Study for your journalism certificate, land an internship and work up through the newsroom, manage, and the career you build is the foundation of everything that follows.

Launch Your Own Newspaper

Register your own paper and fill its sections: Politics, Crime and more. Hire reporters who specialise in each beat and keep a steady flow of stories coming.

Go On Air

When the paper's profits allow it, buy a broadcasting licence and launch your own television channel. Produce:

  • Newshour: your channel's flagship, news show

  • News Talk Shows: a presenter and a panel taking the day's stories apart

  • Morning Shows: two presenters on the sofa for the breakfast crowd

  • Celebrity Talk Shows: star hosts, famous guests, big audiences

  • Competition Series: quiz, singing and cooking contests

Every show needs its crew: producers, writers, anchors and presenters, camera operators, on-air operators, video editors and sales officers. Hire well, seat them right, and watch the viewing figures climb.

Build It Your Way

Rent land and design every room yourself: newsrooms, offices, canteens, control galleries and full studio sets. Build walls, raise storeys, place doors and windows, and furnish them. Every object can be recoloured and retextured, and you can save your favourite looks as presets.

Character Creator

A detailed character creator lets you shape your face and body, choose a hairstyle and pick your wardrobe. The staff you hire are made the same way, so every face in your studio is one of a kind.

Make Your Own Cities

The built-in World Editor lets you design cities of your own: lay roads and junctions, shape the land and coastline, plant parks and gardens, mark out lots, build streets and buildings.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

AI assistance were used during development to write code and create game assets. However the game's machanics are designed and all assets were reviewed and adjusted by the developer. No AI image, voice or music generators were used, and the game does not generate any content with AI while you play.
