*SNIFFS* All these talented people and theyāre working with ME! I canāt believe it⦠Mike⦠Could TV Time still raise the roof? ā¦No one says that anymore? IāM OUT OF THE LOOP? No, no, no. Thatās not right at all! Someone check whatās popular nowadays! NO, YOU CANNOT ASK QUEEN FOR HELP.
Amongst all of our new faces, Wren makes for a familiar one! Sheās one of the people that puts the āIkeā in Mike and Ikes! Of our many scripts that pass through the studio everyday, she makes sure that only the best reach me! Isnāt that so considerate !
Many aāconcept artists have drawn me, but how many can say that theyāve drawn *for* me?! Of the bunch of bananas that work for me, here are the first of the harvest!
Wait, Grass is an illustrator for us? I thought that they were some addison who snuck into the studioā¦Oh, well this is awkwardā¦Grass is one of our illustrators and is never disappointing, and is always making sure that our comics are the best that they can possibly be!
Mikey is a man after my own heart, a fellow machine! Theyāre one of our talented artists, AND one of our writers that keeps our studio running! I think Iāve seen them running between our writing and art department at least four times a day! Talk about commitment!
Audio is our resident painter, and always comes to work with a new cat or muppet that theyāve drawn, itās very impressive! (Between us, I think that they have a preference for the muppets because theyāre felt too.)
Weāll have more bananas to show from our bunch so donāt forget to TUNE IN NEXT TIME FOR MORE! Iāve heard that next week weāre going to be showing more of our TOP CHOICE BACHELORS FROM THE DARK WORLD!

HEY, WHO LET THE LIGHTNERS INTO THE SCRIPT ROOM? I DONāT REMEMBER APPROVING THIS VERSION OF THE SCRIPT!
ā¦What do you mean I let the Mikes tell them they could make their own story? I donāt remember doing thatā¦
Wait, thatās not right either? I told them they could explore the studio to figure out whatās wrong with-Why are you yelling at me? Oh, they want it to be a surprise?
Ah, wellā¦WELCOME LADIES AND GERMS TO THE FIRST SHOWCASE OF OUR POINT AND CLICK ADVENTURE, MADE IN HOUSE BY OUR NEW STUDIO MEMBERS!Ā CAN YOU SPOT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE POSTERS?
Don't explore the studio TOO MUCH otherwise youāll be in for a bad time! Or donāt! We canāt be held responsible for anything that happens to you! After all, we can only control so much that happens in a video game, who knows if something WACKY happens!Ā Ā

This is unbelievable! The viewers have decided that Bash of Bands is better than Farm Story 64! Grandpa's dream is over⦠(No need to mention [LOOP DE-LOOP TYCOON] since that one was doomed to lose the minute that Spammy little mailman opened his mouth).
Itās up to you Lightners to prove that Plug-n-Play isnāt āgrandpaās pastimeā anymore.

Mike! Youāre telling me that youāre showing previews of what the studio is working on and you didnāt TELL ME?! Even worse, youāre showing material from the dating show and you didnāt add ME first!Ā
⦠Who told you that I was the star of the show here? ā¦Well in that case I suppose itās fine. Itās Wyen? Even better.Ā
Ladies and Germs, the team has created a doozy, and everyone here is excited to get this camera rollinā! The first on our cast is Wyen!

The Mikes have gone through all the fan mail, (...most weāve had in yearsā¦) and have chosen from our very impressive group of applicants, and now we at TV Time Entertainment would like to introduce you to our latest team members!Ā
For those of you whoāve been following our development for a while, youāll remember Laine and Lizz! Laine is our project head and Mikeās right hand Ike, and is the reason why Iām still on the Dreemurās TV Cabinet, otherwise Toriel would have thrown me out years ago! Lizz helps us to keep our paperwork going and makes sure that our notes donāt get lost. If only I had them a few years ago, then maybe Iād still haveā¦that contract. Oh well! Thereās no use crying over it!
And now, for the first of our new team, we have Paige and Kristal!Ā
Paige is one of our scriptwriters and makes sure that I look my best at all times, hey, whyās Mike running away with a typewriter? Anywayā¦Kristal is next up, and sheās one of the Lightners we hired to keep us looking fresh and sparkly!Ā
Come back to TV Time Entertainment to see the next bunch of bananas we have for you next week!Ā

Transcript of the FAQ can be found in the read more:
Q: What time period is the project based on?
A: Our project aims to emulate the aesthetic of late 90s/early 00s video game guides.
Q: Am I limited to retro games when I make my game concept?
A: No. You are free to take inspiration from modern video games as long as you present them in the retro aesthetic.
Q: How should I format my portfolio for submission?
A: You may link us to a website where your work is posted or you can collect your pieces in a Google Drive folder and link that. Whichever method you choose, the most important thing is that your artwork or writing is easily and immediately viewable. For example, it may be difficult for staff to find your work on your Tumblr if you post and repost a lot of other content there. Please do not link paywalled content. It will not be reviewed.
Q: Are there any specific game manuals this project is using for references?
A: Weāve taken inspiration from manuals for the Earthbound series, Moon: Remix RPG Adventure, and Animal Crossing (specifically Wild World and City Folk). But there are many more amazing game guides out there!
Q: How will shipping be handled?
A: Shipping arrangements will be handled by Laine, our project lead. She is based in the EU, so prices and delivery times will likely be influenced by that. We will have more information to share once we are closer to the beginning of production.
Q: What are the art standards for applicants?
A: Art is so subjective that this is difficult to quantify. If the staff likes your work and believes it fits the vibe or fills a niche that we need, we will definitely consider you. The only real way to find out is to apply!
Q: Where can I ask further questions about the project?
A: You can submit asks on the tennaproject Tumblr or send us an email directly at [email protected]!
MIKE, DONāT FORGET TO TELL THEM THAT THEIR WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY IS CLOSING!
...WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE CAMERAS ARE ALREADY ROLLING ???
Iāve been informed that our Interest check period is closing in 1 WEEK, which means that after this period, you lose the opportunity to help us make the meaningful changes our studio needs to keep running, and keeps me relevantāunlike that spammy little mailman!
By mailing our studio*, you can help us figure out how much our TV DINNERS** should cost and what you want in our new broadcasts**: from exclusive goodies or special guests!
*Mailing studio does not require any actual mailing, everything is done digitally.
**TV DINNERS and broadcasts refer to the products and manual itself that will be released upon the completion of this project.
