Nope, you can play.
What do you want to invent first?

I would like to try to invent a cross bow, with an actual clip that auto reloads. (To advanced for now?)

There is a short blackout in the blackout prone area and people rush in to buy your batteries. All your batteries are bought. Can you add the money? I'm a bit short on time right now.

You can invent a crossbow with a clip. What do you call it and what makes it different from other crossbows with clips?

I make 100 guns for both stores for 150$ (do these still cost 100$?) and start to sell them with the 20% off coupon. (Heh, I'll use these old guns to make more Giagas Rifles Mark II by recycling them and putting on the upgrades, making them into the new ones. Saving money here >)

I pay off the loan, and start making new rifles with the old ones people trned in (this should save me lots of money) and put them in my stores to replace the other half bought.
(also, can you notify me if rival companies open/advertise?)

In both stores, or..? Also, a quick note: when I said studio apartment, I meant a single-room apartment (with a bathroom, of course), not a house with a studio. Basically, you can only create small things in studios because of size considerations.

Sorry I haven't checked on this in a while :L

I would like to invent a new line of Flash code that would allow programmers to easily find an error in their coding; kind of a search robot that looks for a malfunctioning code. (Is that valid?)

It costs $150 to make a gigas II. The rest of the guns get bought. You get $15 000. Also people want to keep the first rifles and buy the rest as vintage guns.
Another company makes a new plasma gun that reduces meat burning by 80% it's the same company from before, plasma guns.

Wha-? Oh das it!

I start to try to invent an auto rifle Called the 55XTD Assualt Rifle. This gun will have a 40 round clip with sights (mountabe) and a long barrel, for increased range and damage.

You earn 15 research points for the amount of guns you've sold and for upgrading your gigas rifle!

It will cost 10 research points and $5 000 to invent this and it'll take 3 posts to make.

The lab contacts you and says "Last offer to hire a scientist!" You will have to pay money each post for the scientist and they will "make" research points if you give them extra you will get more research points per post.

Since you have nothing in stock, people go start buying the new plasma pistol v.2

I produce 30 Gigas I for each store, selling at 120, and then make 50 Gigas II selling at 180$.
I go searching for a small-medium sized building for sale.
I'll purchae a scientist, as well as run an add for 8000 Dollars saying
"Plasma has involved, but using traditional guns are still better for the flesh. You see, when the bullet penetrated the skin, blood swell to it to try to keep it from bleeding or getting infected. this causes a bruise and you'll have to scrap that meat. Plasma, causes this bruise, but also burns ALOT of the surrounding flesh, even with its new whatever you call it!"

No one really wants the first gigas rifle anymore. So I'll leave that out. A crowd comes rushing and buys all your new rifles! Your competition risesâ¦
