Worms\/Bracknell\/Baltimore, 26th February 2010\u00a0<\/p>\n

Handing over the keys to the executive offices at the most talked about new television network, Kalypso Media today released the official demo for the unique PC strategy experience, M.U.D. TV<\/em>.<\/strong>\u00a0 Prior to the official launch next month, players can take the reins of a start-up TV network and put their skills to the test as they work to carve out a space in broadcasting history.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The demo can be downloaded here: http:\/\/www.kalypsomedia.com\/downloads\/demos\/MUDTV-Demo-EN.msi<\/a><\/p>\n

(Please ensure that you mirror the link as opposed to linking directly to this server)\u00a0<\/p>\n

Included in the demo are the official tutorial and the first two missions found in the final version of M.U.D. TV<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

MISSION 1:<\/p>\n

Players take control of Matt, M.U.D. TV\u2019s<\/em> new and ethically questionable executive.\u00a0 After being chased out of university for being evil, Matt is bent on taking over the world.\u00a0 To do so, Matt\u2019s first goal is to make a certain amount of money from TV programming to acquire the first parts of a device to control people\u2019s minds through television.\u00a0<\/p>\n

MISSION 2:<\/p>\n

The nefarious plan is coming together and the device to control people\u2019s minds is being built.\u00a0 The next step is to build his audience and gain 1.8 million viewers in a single target demographic.\u00a0 Who will Matt go after and how will he reach his goal?\u00a0 It\u2019s up to the player to make it happen.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fed up with the same formulaic TV sitcoms?\u00a0 Is reality TV beyond real?\u00a0 Think you can do a better job? \u00a0This March, players can prove it with M.U.D. TV<\/em> (Mad, Ugly, Dirty Television), a new strategy simulation game from Kalypso Media where players call the shots as a top TV executive striving to raise ratings and advertising revenue for their own TV network.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the game, players are tasked with creating a TV studio, hiring actors, staff and directors to create popular TV programming that will propel the station up the ratings chart.\u00a0 But beware, as rival studios will use every trick in the book to sabotage the station and steal its viewers, actors and even those all important advertising dollars.\u00a0 Dirty tricks are not reserved for the competition though, as players can learn their own shady manoeuvres to fight back and do whatever it takes build their TV empire!\u00a0<\/p>\n

M.U.D. TV<\/em> is being developed by Realmforge, a Kalypso Media studio, and will be available for the PC next month.\u00a0 For all the latest news on M.U.D. TV<\/em>, visit the official game site www.mud-tv.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
