Hey Guys.

Got a game that I am working on for a long term uni project. The final game is going to be completed in the Unreal 3 Engine but due to the nature of how the game is made we will also be able to release an iphone,android, 360 version all running off the 1 database. Only downside is you will require an internet connection to play as it is "multiplayer"

This is 1 of my early prototypes to show to the client. No 3d, no pretty pictures and no in depth instructions. Also the balancing is incredibly out of whack since I just made up the equations on the spot and havn't gone through to fix them up since it is not really necessary at the moment.

But it should give you a fairly decent idea of how the game will work. The idea is that it is a property trading simulation, similar to a stock market trading game that you may have played in school. The world will have many variables which will affect property prices, rent prices, natural disasters etc. The aim of the game is to finish with the highest total player worth at the end of the round, which in this version is 5 minutes time. At the end of 5 minutes you will be prompted to add your name to the highscore list and then everything will reset for the next round.

Keep in mind this is just a very early functional prototype to show the client basic idea of how the game will work, but I welcome any constructive criticism and any ideas that you have for what would make the full game better.

It's too dangerous just to offer an exe. What about screen shots and a video so you at least are showing SOME credibility before people start installing random files.

Good point. Here you go although its not very exciting to look at a screenshot since like i said its just an early prototype

The UI could use some work, and really, that doesn't take much.
Instead of Form1, put House Cataloge
Instead of Property1, 2 *** n but Townhouse, 2-Story, School, etc.

Thanks but once again this is just an early gameplay prototype. There is no intention on making it look "nice" because after tomorrow its going to be scrapped. It is just to show the gameplay mechanics to the client before we begin building it in the UDK
