The inventors
It is the year 2060, new technology has been made and people are inventing new things.
In this game you have to invent something and see how well it sells, then you can choose to either: Invent something else or research your current invention to make it better.

You need 15 research points and $15 000 to upgrade the gun.
Also do you think you should hire a scientist to get research points, buy them or earn them?
Half your guns get bought, but your customers are demanding something new.
You got $6 000

You can't sell research points. I might change this but you can either hire a scientist, buy them or earn them.
1 research point: $1 000
Hire scientist: Not available
You earned 5 research points for selling a total of 200 guns!
Next: Sell 500 guns to earn 10 research points.
The rest of your guns get sold but people seem to want something new.

Okay, you send the blueprint off to a lab. It will take 3 posts for this to be ready. What do you do now?

and broadcast it later 'Not now'

Lemme see here... I will sell the S-type batteries with a buy two, get one free offer, the M-types will have a bulk discount and there will be... I'm just going to set down some prices.
Wait, no... average maker and small shop, please. How much are the batteries with the advanced model?

Alright, I'll manufacture 27 of the XL series. I put one in my blackout-prone shop as a backup power supply, one as a backup in the manufacturing area and 15 in the blackout-prone shop. The others will go to my stable shop. Then I'll invest a further $9,000 to get 30 large cells in both my stores.
Spending $10,000 for 100 M-series cells (50 in either outlet, natch), I crank up the machine one last time to build 200 small batteries, with 100 per store. My price list is as follows:
S-series: $75 each, with a Value Pack of four batteries at only $240
M-series: $150 each, but of course there's the good old $240 Value Pack for two M-series batteries.
L-series: $200 each. The Bulk Package discount gets a price of $360 for two.
XL-series: $250 each, with another package (Emergency Backup deal) giving you a whopping $480 for two and the Industrial-class deal giving you a $25 discount for each cell for purchases of over three XL models.

"Hey guys, I'd love to. but im kinda low on cash right now. I'll get a loan and see what I can do"
I go to the bank and get a 10,000$ dollar loan (With no interest for 60 days! Right?) and then spend my 5000 Last cash and another 5000 to fund this ad, broadcasting more.
