Trailers and gameplay by topic

For a quick official overview, use the 1.0 launch trailer. For the actual pace of starting out, choose GameRiot's 1.0 Part 1. Longer creator sessions cover club building, warehouse setup and prestige; their footage is useful context, not proof that every shown value survives later patches.

Video selection follows the public uploads recorded in the research. Creator titles identify their topic; this guide does not claim to have timed every step or verified every spoken number. Older Nightlife footage is labeled separately from the 1.0 release.

1.0 launch trailer, BEF Games: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42JvmKtUOWU . It is linked from the official release announcement. Use it for the launch presentation, not an unedited walkthrough.

Plan warehouse workDarkOmniX: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUOEmuy9MRUWatch a warehouse session; use the wiki for the separate plant and chemical chains
Understand prestige playToric's Take: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsZ2pFCpcOsObserve progression choices; no independently verified earning rate is assigned
Compare older Nightlife gameplayCharlie Pryor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unzFwE5757EHistorical footage under the former title; controls and systems may differ

Money-route video: one creator's figure

DarkOmniX presents a gym-to-Fight-Club route: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0m2g1dR4HI . The roughly $30,000-per-match figure is that creator's single-source claim. It does not establish hourly income or the best route after later Fight Club fixes.

Choose by purpose

Use trailers for an overview, a current-version opening session for pacing, and a topic-specific session for menus and workflow. The written guides supply the sourced steps; an upload title or thumbnail alone is not evidence of a precise mechanic.

Questions

Which video is the launch trailer?

The BEF Games upload with ID 42JvmKtUOWU is the 1.0 launch trailer. From the Streets is a separate trailer on the official homepage.

Are the creator videos hosted here?

No. The table links to the original YouTube uploads. The official embedded trailer plays only after the play control is used.
