Hi! I am a huge airline management game fan from Norway. A while ago i started developing my own game. It's pretty unlike online slow-played games like this one; mine is more dynamic, and everything happens without any pauses. I guess you could call it an arcade airline management game

 

So, why am I here? Mainly because I'd like input on my game. Ideas. What would you like to see in such a game? The game is based on a world map, with lines symbolizing your routes, and actual plane sprites moving across the map. Of course in a much higher tempo than what would be realistic.

 

I'll maybe provide you with some screenshots soon, if you are interested

I'm really enjoying the development.

Oh, I really wasn't aware of that. I read a post where different users discussed their favorite airline manager game, so I thought this was appropriate. 

 

I'd love to share screen shots, however, I'll close the post if it turns out that I'm doing something illegal according to the forum rules.

i would assume that your game is not completed yet as it is seriously lacking in cities, but a few questions, are you going to be putting real planes or imaginary planes? I see 2014 in the date, so when does the game start?

It's not really completed, no, but I wasn't planning on adding even more cities. If so, I would probably have to add another level of airports, so the map wouldn't get too crowded with airports. (Right now, only the biggest countries with airports are shown when zoomed out, and the smaller ones will appear once you zoom in). I could then possibly add another level, with even smaller airports.

 

And to be honest, I was only planning on adding maximum one airport for each country.

 

What do you mean by real planes or imaginary planes?

 

The game starts at the current date (17.09.2014 right now)

This looks very interesting..I assume its a offline game?!

This kind of reminds me of Plague Inc. but with airlines. Cool

Players are welcome to share their own projects in the Member Projects forum, so I'll go ahead and move this.

Oh ok, i was hoping for historical planes, and when i mean real planes or imaginary planes i menat that will you be using A320's or something that is completely made up

Thank you very much!

Yes, it is. I've thought about making it a multiplayer game, with competing airlines and stuff, but that's not a priority now.

Yes, it is kindoff inspired by it

Oh! So far, I haven't though about different types and models of airplanes. You are able to upgrade the speed and the passenger capacity of your planes, though.

If someone wants to join me in the development, and provide ideas and feedback, I'll gladly welcome you. You'll of course be able to try the game in its current state then

I can also tell that the income of a commercial flight is calculated with a very complex formula, based on variables from each country on the map such as GDP, population and tourist popularity. I'd like to have some help improving this.

Yeah, I'll consider that Haven't thought too much about the design yet.

 

btw. 

Newest addition:

 

Countries that get mad at you (for some reason, for example because you transported terrorists to their contry or so), may now scramble jet fighters to try and eliminate your planes. You'll have the ability to put up anti air guns on land whereever you'd like with your player.

 

So now it's more of a airline sim slash tower defence game
