Our vision on developing the online simulator ProEconomica

We think that it’s time to share with you our visions and thoughts regarding the game development. First of all, we guarantee that ProEconomica is a well planned project, with lots of apps that will make this game being an interesting one, and the most important – with lots of activities to do.

The biggest disadvantage is that we had to begin this project by realizing the most difficult applications.  Maybe it was necessary to develop and test the game before launching it, but we wanted to receive feedback from players. As a result you all came with useful suggestions that help us develop a project that is able to meet the needs of participants.

We know that a game is interesting due to the spirit of competition that it is able to generate between players, between regions. The structure is important too. It has to be complex, and able to give diversity to the player, so that he could spend his time playing the game. This type of applications was planned to be launched in the final stage of the game development. At the moment we’ve managed to create a new team of programmers because we would like to develop as soon as possible the mentioned below apps.

Because the most complex apps (like the companies) are already finished, the next ones will be much easier to develop (except the cities and the transport companies).  But, at the moment the most important apps are those regarding the competitions.

At the moment we work on 4 apps, that are almost finished. Here they are:

-      A new module for the Activities section, where each participant chooses the activity he wants to perform according to the time he is available to spend.

-      An app from the module “Competitions” – that gives the possibility to compete with other players (on a period of 2 or 8 hours) in the revenue collected.

-       The first joint stock company– The Bank.

-       The possibility for players from Romania to pay via SMS.

Other important applications (some of them need just improvements):

General:

-         Activating the sections: happiness, culture, education, prestige and energy;

-         Creating a chat with the possibility to communicate in private groups;

-         Missions that will give experience;

-         Re-launching the Economic  Tests;

-         Re-launching the “My Appearance”;

-         The possibility to solve economic situations or cases by choosing the proper action from a set of variants;

-         Launching the package VIP professional with the possibility to view the companies in a simpler way;

-         Developing the concept and items diversification for the applications “My Office” and “My Home”.

Competitions:

-         Competitions between players through spying, where will be used the abilities, my aspect and other characteristics;

-         Weekly contests: top manager, top city, top country, top company on activity fields, priority contests in some apps;

-         Awards with levels for different achievements (sells, missions, earnings);

-         State competitions on various characteristics: GDP, global production, taxes, ecology, the concept of sustainable society; competitions between cities. In this way will be re-launched the ProEco Top, regarding to certain criteria.

Companies:

-         Sales of asset-based companies;

-         Creating the “Transport” module– creating companies, creating maritime ports, airports and others;

-         The efficiency of a company will be conditioned by the resources held by the country, the same as in reality;

-         Improvements on displaying the products on the market;

-         Creating the Academy of Technology on JSCs;

-         Developing the module “Virtual Employees” so that they could consume in order to raise their satisfaction (that will influence their efficiency in the company) and to have the possibility to raise their levels;

-         Joint Stock Companies (petroleum, energy, water, planting material and equipment) and placing the JCS’s stocks on the market.

The State:

-       Creating a functional State and representative buildings by the players, that will positively influence the participants from that country.

-       Developing different technologies by the state, the region and the locality that will improve the performances of the players.

-       Finishing the module “Elections” with ministries and their influence on the evolution of the state and of the players.

 We hope that you will come with suggestions of some improvements that have to be made. Thank you for your support. We hope to create together a sustainable project.
