• Large Downtown Company Skyscraper (Example: Salesforce Tower)
• Large Corporate Campus (Example: Apple HQ)
• Any Additional Models (List Below)
Hi standardplayer,
Our artist has started working on a new Skyscraper building for Company Headquarters.
Instead of simply replacing the existing HQ building with it, it would be better to keep the existing one and introduce the new one with additional gameplay features / bonus / options.
Any ideas on what additional gameplay features / bonus / options the new skyscraper building can offer?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here are some ideas that the dev team has come up with:
-A department for automatically adjust the following types of expenditures based on inflation:
>Media firms (TV, Radio Station and Newspaper Publisher) - monthly budget for new content development
>Telecom - monthly budget for upgrading infrastructure
>Banks and Insurance - Training Budget
>Internet Company - Monthly Budget for new features development
The player can enable and disable each of these options individually. When enabled, all firms of that type will have the auto adjustment based on inflation.
What do you think? Any idea of what this department should be called?
