Ok one of my freinds hacked Mad TV (A good game for the Amiga were you run a tv station)and put in WBA cartoons as the shows you can buy.
This got me thinking how about KWB the game? using something close to the Mad TV engine
Well, here is my idea for a KWB computer game.
You start as head of KWB from KWB's beginning. You select which shows go into what time and day, get ad contract and expand the network via building or buying new transmitters or making a deal with a cable company.
Your goal is not to please WB, the fans or even get good rating but to win the heart of Minerva Mink (I took the idea out of Mad TV) or any of the other girls of WBA (or guys you'll make your pick at the begining of the game) Thus you have to air and keep production up for A! and make sure Minerva gets a decent amount of screen time oh and natch give her things (which means you need the green stuff). WBA will be like R&D labs in most games for each show sliders will let you pick quality and # of eps and # of people working on it (and there will also be key characters sliders to give key characters more screen time thus you give Minerva more the love metter will go up and you'll get more 12+ viwers, add more Pinky and the Pinky fans will like you more). You will get those eps the next season unless you chose trickle which will mean they will work on one ep at a time and thus eps will trickle to you. (not very effecent but hey if you don't want to wait) For new show you will select if you want Action,Comedy or Education. You can't spread WBA or they will complain, fans will complain and quiality will drop.
As for programing you will only get the before school, lunchtime, and after school for the weekdays and Saturday and Sunday Morning to play with. Now in Mad TV each slot had one ad slot I was thinking of doing 2 so you will see the time the first ad slot the show slot and the second ad slot. Like Mad TV you will have to sign ad contract and they may have condition attached (minum ratings, show type,demographinc,ect) Shows will lose rating if they are reruned too much. You will also have non WBA shows that you can buy.
Promotions will be handled like Mad TV handles making new shows. You take an idea (interview,special,behind the scenes,ect) then select the parts do you want TR hosting behind the scenes or joe from accounting (natch TR will cost more) and other thing effects clothing,location and so on. Now if it is short like a mini interview or something it will go in the ad slot if it is big like behind the scenes it will take up a show slot thus it can earn ad money.
Now everything costs money and you make your money via a cut of the ad money, selling the show overseas (which WB takes most of the cut), and merchindizing but merchinzindizing is really out of your hands (but you can effect sales by what you do at KWB)oh plus a little bootleg window which broken down into the WBA shows see the more a show is shown the less you make on bootlegs but if it is abondoned you will make a fair bit on it. This gives you money to try to set things right if things start to go wrong (note at the begining you won't be bootleging anything you have to select what shows you want to bootleg the down side is the more money you make this way the higher the risk WB will catch you then it is game over). From time to time you might get kick backs from fans and forein stations. If you are really in trouble you can ask WB for more money and this brings me to WB. As the game goes on Poké fever will eventully come and remeber you goal is to win Minervas heart not make big bucks so you will see WB take more and more money away from you if you don't please them and if you do please them fans will get angry and you will be locked into a 12 and under demographic. Thus it is a good idea to hurry up and win Minerva's heart.
Ratings and such will be random from game to game to try and give the game replay plus there will be chance card and action cards. Chance cards are like in monopoly you draw them and the effect happens some are good some are bad. Action cards you chose when and if you use they have a good side and a bad side to them Minerva becomes Ms.November will meen the love meter goes up so will ratings for her show in the 16 and over but WB will become more cold towards you.
Oh and yes I think the game should be multiplayed. Everyone will be playing with WBA shows but the goal is to get Minerva first.
So what ya think?
