Re: Venture zone global, new business simulation game for iOS.
Hi.
Well, after playing a whole round I can say the following.
Please keep in mind that I am training to become a salesman, so my emphersize is a bit different.
Let me put it like this that the average player who wants to get a feel for things will receive a very solid product and will hopefully enjoy it because the basics are included and easy to understand.
One thing that I have to critisize is that you only have 2 years till the buy up offer comes around, an endless mode where you try to reach a goal you set for your selfe would be a great adition.
What I'm personally missing is the more in depth managing aspect. Things like opposing companys, a finer marketing analysis for example target audience, current market situation, possible market increase or decrease, current finantial situation of the targeted audience group, pricing battles and so on.
Also, you sell generic products in the game. What I am missing is the factor that singles out your product from the others. For example conducting audience analysis, what do the people want, a research system, patents which you can hold or buy up with other companys and so on.
Also you are able to buy up as much products as you want, given your finantial situation of course, but you don't need to worry about things like trade embargos, possible pricing increase of certain raw materials or electronic parts, or even storage space in your company so that you just have space for a certain amount of products, and not unlimited.
Stock would also be a good idea which shareholders can invest to and set up certain goals which you have to meet, for example products sould or a certain income beeing met.
Basically in a nutshell, I am missing the hole statistics and numb crunching part which would make a business strategy game atractive for me.
Greetings Moritz.
