Скачать или смотреть News Tower Ep29 Let's Play! Full Release - Photography Department Setup

In 1933, a sharp editor knows a picture is worth a thousand words — and in The Sounding Rocket's newsroom, it's worth a gold tag, too. Chad builds out the full photography pipeline from scratch and discovers the dark room really does need to be dark.

🎮 Episode Highlights:
The complete photography department goes up — dark room, repro camera, chemical engraver, and all the staff to run it
Pneumatic tubes get extended to keep photos moving efficiently down to the assemblers
A push for crime and politics stories helps meet the mayor's obligation while influence points keep climbing
With 25 influence points banked, the illustrator unlocks and Ava joins the team just in time

💡My Key Choices:
✅ I built the dark room with a separating wall, tile flooring, and fans to handle the smell and heat right from the start
✅ I extended pneumatic tubes both up and down so photos and illustrations could travel the tower without delay
✅ I hired the $100 photographer over the more expensive option — resilience felt like the right call for a new department
✅ I placed the illustrator's desk near the photographer's, anticipating shared workflow bonuses down the line
✅ I turned off crime and politics pursuit once the mayor's requirement was met, keeping the team focused on what was next
