This update introduces Adaptations to the game
This is the last major feature to be added for 0.9 release. I'll be doing some polish and hunting bugs for the next update. After that its time to start Office Overhaul
You can access this feature in franchise info window
Adaptations represent media made from your franchises that are not comic books. For example movies and games.
You do not create these adaptations yourself. Their creation is handled by outside studios that you sell the license to. They have minimum fame requirements and their own reputation scores. Higher reputation studios usually produce better work. Different types of adaptations also have different fame requirements. You can have only one project going at a time for each franchise.
What you gain from adaptations is money. First you get a sum of money when you give out the license. When the project is done you have a chance to get part of the profits. This depends on the success of the adaptation. The success will also affect the possible fame gain or loss you get from the project. Successful projects can raise the fame of the franchise and failed projects can decrease it. The franchise quality also has an effect on the result.
It is also possible for the project to be canceled. This is more common for low reputation studios. Franchise quality has no effect on this. Cancellation results in no extra profit or fame loss or gain. Rights return to you immediately.
