addedWhat Changed?Income and expenses are balanced. Characters usually ask for lower prices. Shows generate less money each turn. Everything gains much less Fanbase from shows. Characters don't start asking for absurd amounts of money in new seasons of successful shows now.

addedWhat Changed?Now you can sign multiple seasons contract with characters. When you make an offer to a character, click "Negotiate" and select how many seasons you want to sign for. This is the amount, so 'For 3 Seasons' means the contract will last for the 3 seasons the character works in the show. E.g Season 3 to Season 6. While making a new season, importing previous settings will automatically place the signed characters into their positions and pay their negotiated salary . You can view the characters you currently have a contract with at right click context menu.

addedWhat Changed?List panel now has markers that show important stats while hiring characters. (Hover on Column Name to get information. Column Name e.g: 'Athletism'). You can also hide it if you wish.

addedWhat Changed?You can now negotiate contract with characters who have 1 more Reputation than you. (e.g if you have 3 Reputation, you can negotiate with 4 Reputation characters.)

changedWhat Changed?While negotiating price with a character, max tries is now 10 instead of 3. (Includes seasonal raise tries.)

fixedWhat Changed?On save game load, if you had a work in progress show and already hired a composer, the composer and ost quality showed as empty. This is fixed now.
