Aero Mogul - ideas
Saw in another post you are start to focus on Aero Mogul - so I thought this was as good a place as any.

I was a fan of the original, but was so long ago I really dont remember all that much.

My comments are assume that you are carry over the same financial model as gear city, so these are ideas I had for gear city but you were too far in development.

I have a finance background. So what I would suggest, is you have two different bank accounts, one for the corporation (as is now) and a second as your personal account. This opens a number of new avenues. You can have a salary (set by the board) and a potential for bonus systems if specific board targets are met. Also it would allow you to speculate in the stock market without distort things two much as your salary is in the in thousands scale and companies are in the millions / billions.

A main advantage I see is it reward you to take your company public and pay a dividend. (with the current model I see little reason to do either)

Also it allow you to focus on maximize your personal wealth - which feels more realistic for a management game vs current. You can even sell your company or switch jobs and your personal funds stay separate so it doesnt feel like you are lose all your progress.

I have other ideas but I leave it there for now

There was, and will be a place to talk about AeroMogul on our official forums. (Currently closed, but will be reopened for the GearCity Feature Bounty system.) GC forums isn't really the place to do that.

Not sure which game you're refering to. There are LOTS of airline business sims. I assume you mean AeroBiz? AeroMogul will be much more in depth than AeroBiz, however, there will be play modes/customization options that are more similar to that title.

is you have two different bank accounts, one for the corporation (as is now) and a second as your personal account.

Preproduction for AeroMogul is already complete. And If I recall that is already planned for the game. It was also intended to be in GearCity as well, which is why the game asks you for your name. However, it was cut early on because executives didn't jump around frequently in the automotive industry. So it became a semi-useless feature. Personal wealth might work its way into a GearCity Feature Bounty though.
