Ok this idea hit me yesterday when I was mowing the lawn:
A lawn mowing tycoon GAME!
So I've been thinking about that for the last 24 hours and I think I got just the right flash game to keep people busy for a while.
Game concept: You're a business owner now! A new comunity has opened and this is you'r chance to get RICH!
Instructions: You own a office in the middle of the comunity and this is where you hire, check up on things, and upgrade. At the side of the building there is the locker room where you're employees will go after every job to get washed off and change clothes, but if the locker room isn't big enough for the ammount of field workers you have then they will get mad and quit. This is where Upgrading comes in. In another random room in the building will be a button that says
Upgrade
on it and when you click it a variety of things come up that you can upgrade for $. click on the locker room upgrade and in 1 week it will be bigger. You can also get stuff like Engineer room so if the mowers break down they can fix it as a upgrade. Another room will have a button that says
Hire
on it. When you click that you can hire receptionists, engineers, mower people, news boys, etc. Receptionists are in another room and answer all the calls people give out to get their lawn taken care of, you know what engineers do, you know what mower people do, and news boys go out to random houses and give out flyers to people for your business. They're all hired by skill level, 1, 2, and 3. A level 1 mower person will be skinny and get heat stroke easily, along with the fact that he mows slow. A level 2 is right in the middle, and a 3 will hardly get heat stroke at all because they're BUFF! The higher the level of the worker on any job the higher his/her pay is at the end of every day. Also at the end of every day you have to pay for gas, oil, and water. So under the
Stats
button in a new room make sure more money is coming in than going out. In
Stats[quote] you can also make contracts with goverment and farmers where if they accept, you get above avrage pays for mowing their land, but if your mower people that do those jobs quit and the job dosn't get done they will sue you and cancel the contracts. Also in
Stats[/quote] you can see under the same chart that shows how much $ is going in and out is your popularity bar. The higher it is the more you can charge for a lawn job. It goes up when your advertizing is going good, but down when not. Click on the
Advertize
button in another room and it will come up with some options. Things like Better news boy flyers, News paper Ads, TV ads, etc. Also news boys and mower people when they get tips from people they are happier and are less likely to quit. You can make them mow a lawn better or be more cute under upgrade, where you send them to get a bit more trained for the job. the highest possible is: Level 1 News boy (cuteness level 7), Level 2 News boy (cuteness level 14), and level 3 News boy (cuteness level 21) that goes with the mower people too accept the cute level is skill level. You can go to the comunity house builders building and click on
Buy House
and you will be able to buy a level 1, 2, and 3 house. a level 1 is small, 2 average, and 3 is a mansion. The level of the house is also how big the yard is, so when you sell them to sombody else they will also have to pay you for your lawn service. You can put mare than 1 man on a job to get it done faster and will make them less likely to get heat stroke. Back in you're office there is another room with a button labeled
Store
and in the store you can buy: Better quality gas/oil, better lawn mowers, (since every employee starts with a push you can buy a riding mower) Better engineer tools, water bottles, etc. At the bank you can get loans get interest for what's in etc. So Yeah you get the idea to this game, but I'm going stop here. Leave comments if you think this sounds cool or if you want to help with the production of it. The whole game is seen from the sky though to clear this up. I got the inspiration from this game if you have the time to play it:[url=http://www.addictinggames.com/oiligarchy.html].
Well I'm kinda hoping for some help due to the fact that I have NEARLY no flash actionscript exp, but what I would REALLY appreceiate is if someone could give me a link to a good flash cs3 actionscript 2.0 toutorial... (I searched forever) and I need a artist since my attempt at the buildings was horrible on the comp but pro with papper and pencil... and my unckle is awesome with gutar so I'll get the soundtrack from him. (please don't mind my spelling errors*)
Wait I could do pencil and paper awesome..., I have what it would look like right here infront of me. But I need some people for me who can do it on computer because you know... Is it even possible to get art from paper on to a computer without the computer doing that itself? maybe I'll try and get a pic of it on here soon.
