www.imonmyway.info is a business tycoon game I want to add more features to it any one that can help ????
I'd like to add a banking option so you can bank money earn interest and a bankrupcy option to game. Also option to sell factories and trade with other companies , those sort of options. Any other suggestions ?
You could have stocks and shares, ISAs, you could give money to investment managers who charge a fee. You could have dodgy dealings where you could invest money in the black market for drugs etc and have repercusions such as the police catching you. I love the idea! It might be nice to have some Flash animated stuff when you click various stuff? You should also make the factory images clickable so you dont have to select them at the bottom. Just write a form with the factory image as a submit button. <form action='select_factory' method='POST'> <input type='text' name='factory_name' size='50' /> <INPUT TYPE="image" SRC="cogs.gif" VALUE="Cogs" ALT="Cogs" NAME="factory_type" /> </form> Then on your PHP to handle the posts you just have $factory_type = $_POST['factory_type'];
Change the market Structure: have 10 or 15 different types of factories/manufacturing 1. Automotive 2. Electronics 3. Pharmaceuticals/Medical Supplies 4. Computers 5. Aeronautical industry 6. Clothing 7. Building and Construction Materials 8. Mining Equipment 9. Confectionery 10. Stationery Supplies 11. Space Industries 12. And others that may spring to mind. Each type of factory/manufacturing has to sell on a fluctuating market: There will be a market to match each manufacturing industry. The market cand have up and downturns that should happen randomly. These may last quite a few turns either way. Users should be able to operate more than one factory at a time but can nly access a maximum of 3 different industries. And 'hopefully' these industries will not all suffere market downturns at the same time. Banking: Users can bank their many in an interest bearing account. The interest rate is variable and if the market suffers a masive downturn the interst will also suffer accordingly. Have a list of available banks that each react to the market in a different way., One may have lower interst but less effected. One with higher interest more effected etc. (the same for loans but the opposite effect) Loans: Users may take out a loan that has variable interests. As accounts above this is also affested by the market. Users should be able to have 3 request to miss a loan payment and the terms of the loans should be over 100, 300 and 500 turns (or something similar) any members taking longer to pay will suffer penalties (extra interest or extra charge per turn or series of turns) Workers: Immigrant workers can be used for cheaper but there should be a randomised illegal immigrant factor that "may' be detected by the immigration dept. and the member may be fined/penalised. If the member uses immigrant labout they do not always get an illegal immigrant. Immigrant labour will give a higher production (5% or 10%) for a short period and then the return to the standard rate. The risk is that they may be caught with an illegal immigrant. Worker Injury: Infrequently there may be a worker injury. this may result in a compensation payout but not necessarily. When a worker is injured profduction drops by 15% to 20% while new saftey measures are put in place etc. Proiduction returns to normal after 15 turns in that factory. Worker Retirement: A small percentage of works may work for a factory for 200+ turns. This worker may then retire and the member will have to pay themn a retirement payment. Workers who continue to work after 200 turns will receive a hiugher payout for every 10 extra turns thay work. 2% extra per 10 turns but the productivity of the factory increase due to higher experience. Need to find a balance between retiree workers/productivity and cash. Bankrupcy: A single factory or entire member factory selection can go bankrupt. Members can pay a fee to remove bankrupcy (voluntary receivership???) or they can try to Loan there way out against other factories they may own. here are a few more I came up with, any one be able to help me add these ?
Nice plans! Best advice I can give you. Build your overall plan with ideas etc and start developing each piece one by one. Don't try and build it all in 1 go.
Just a thought... maybe not related to your request: add a small demo so people like me can try it before registering.
You've got some good plans there. I hope you're able to chip away at them. Not really factories but what about farming and the service sectors? Although you should probably start off with it being random the real market isn't random but follows certain trends. If you could approximate these trends that would be very impressive.
