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.

How to win real money in ProEconomica?



Shareholding is the application that allows you, besides gaining GOLD and other benefits, earn real money from your companies’ development. At the Shareholders button, located at the top left of the page, you can find the complete information about the real and virtual shares held, as well as the advantages they offer. Here you can buy or sell shares, or you can exchange them on cash.
How does it work?
When you pass the user’s level on the right side of the page appears the application that allows you to buy with 1 Euro a share that was generated. Why is this useful? If you have real actions, when you’ll pass the levels for your company, there will be generated a certain number of virtual shares (when passing the first level -25 virtual shares are generated, level II - 50, level III. - 75, level IV - 100, etc.). In statistics you can see what shares have the companies generated.
Having real shares means having benefits. Thus for a number of real shares you receive a certain amount of Gold and virtual money, and also a percentage of Productivity and Efficiency.
How to gain real Euros?
By accessing the Exchange button (at the Shareholders) you will see that 1 Euro values a certain number of virtual shares. With every exchange made, the value of Euro will increase. Thus, at the first exchange, for 1 Euro you’ll have to give 1000 virtual shares, at the second 1 Euro = 1500 virtual shares, at the third exchange 1 Euro = 3,000 virtual shares, etc. The first 50 Euros can be exchanged for approximately 200,000 shares.
Attention! In every 90 days the value of one Euro will reset. This means that you will be able to buy again one Euro with 1000 virtual shares. The watch will inform you how much time is left till the reset.
How much did I win?
Enter at the Top of Real Gains located at the left of the page, and see how many Euros you and your friends have collected. You can see the total top, the top gains from the Invite and from the Shareholdings. The Invite menu is another good opportunity to collect Euros on your account, so for each invited user who becomes an active player you get 10 Eurocents, in addition to several other supplements like GOLD and experience points. If you think you can make this game known to many other people you can be part of ProEco’s Promotion Team and we will pay you 20 Eurocents for each Invited person.
How much can I withdraw?
At the Shareholders and the Top of Real Gains appears, on the top of the page, the ProEco Fund, showing the amount in Euros that can be extracted by the players. This fund is filled from the taxes applied for the sale of real shares and from a certain percentage of  ProEco’s earnings. Nearly is indicated the Total ProEco Fund, where you can see what was the total amount available for withdrawal. The minimum amount of money to be withdrawn from ProEconomica by a player is of 20 Euros. If the money came from the exchange of virtual shares in Euro is applied a tax of 20% that returns in ProEco Fund. No tax is applied for the money gained in the Invite application. Players assume the costs of the money transfer.
