Here are some of my ideas:

1.  In-game chat window
2.  Ability to make share issues
3.  Ability to have a share buyback
4.  Ability to do a stock split
5.  Ability to do a reverse stock split
6.  Ability to lease natural resources
7.  Ability to have a company headquarters that would be marked on the graphical map - cool factor
8.  Ability to send private messages to other players
9.  Ability to send money from one player to another
10.  Ability to transfer money from a parent company to a subsidiary and vis-versa.
11.  Ability to create a new company using cash from another company.  This would be useful to create wholly owned subsidiaries.
12.  Scrolling stock ticker in the game.


But again, I love this game and the UI.  I think it is going to be a great hit.

Kenny,

1.  Work in progress. Should be ready next week.
2.  Will be implemented.
3.  Will be implemented.
4.  Will be implemented.
5.  Will be implemented.
6.  Don’t know. I have to think about it.
7.  Technical problem to be resolved before implementation but I think I’ll do it.
8.  Already implemented. Will be deployed next week.
9.  Not sure I will do this. It could just give an incentive to cheat by opening multiple accounts.
10.  A subsidiary already pays dividends once a year to its parent company. I suppose you are talking about extra dividends from the subsidiary and capital increases financed by the parent company. Will be implemented.
11.  The idea is great but I have to think about this.
12.  Will be implemented.

There are still many things I have to implement.
I need to set priorities so don’t expect to have everything next week smile

smile  Thanks for the attention and responses to each of my suggestions.

I have a holding company in the real world… So the idea of being able to create several wholly owned subsidiaries would be a great aspect to this game, for me anyway.

Basically having a setup like this allows several things.

1.  Investors can invest in my holding company (Take Berkshire Hathaway for example)
2.  I can then use capital to either startup new companies and then hold on to them or sell them for a quick profit.  (Depending on the industry I may be better at getting companies going than running them for the long term)
3.  I can also purchase struggling companies with my holding company and get them profitable then either hold on to them or sell for a quick profit.
4.  I could have a wholly owned subsidiary that is my investment company.  A company that only buys shares in other companies.  The dividend income and share sale income could be used to finance other subsidiaries.

Awesome!  Who owns the other %?  Will that owner ever sell those shares?


Would it be possible to add a link to the forum and wiki inside of the game?

The other % is available on the stock market. All players will be able to buy it.

Regarding the in-game links I think it will be possible in the future.
