Some choices are received badly, others are received positively.

I kinda just stumbled my way through and won fairly easily though, but I'm sure you're aware of that and would fix it given more time.

We had to simplify our idea enough to make it before the deadline. Anyway! We had tons of fun yet again, and hope you guys have fun with the result, too :)\r\n\r\nTools:\r\n\r\nUnity 4.6\r\nPhotoshop CC\r\n\r\nBackstory\r\n\r\nAct fast! Timing is everything in co.NEKTD world!\r\n\r\nYou have been hired by new social network co.NEKTD for 24 weeks. Your mission: connect all planets via users! Spread the word by using marketing or introducing new features and\/or design. But do it FAST - The world does not wait and the users are everything!\r\n\r\nMore users bring more money. Also, users create HYPE - which spreads through planets and the galaxy in ways technology, marketing, or money cannot. \r\n\r\nOnly HYPE can connect worlds. Good luck!\r\n\r\nInstructions: \r\n\r\nYou have to carefully choose between four options to use what little cash you have : \r\n\r\n* Develop a 'New Feature' that will enhance (or break) your software\r\n* Change the look of your site with a 'New Design' and hope users like it.\r\n* Market your product with 'Adverts' and gain new users or (dun,dun,dun) 'alienate' them.  \r\n* Pull a publicity stunt with 'Endorsements\" and see how users react to celebrities!\r\n\r\nControls:\r\n\r\nMouse left click on the buttons.\r\nTo pause: click outside the game (sorry!)\r\n\r\nGameplay details:\r\n\r\nChances of succeeding for each option:\r\n*New features - 80% chance of good outcome (Moderate cost and moderate gain\/loss in userbase)\r\n*New design - 35% chance of good outcome (Cheap but little gain\/loss in userbase)\r\n*Adverts - 60% chance of good outcome (Moderate cost and above average gain\/loss in userbase)\r\n*Endorsements - 90% chance of good outcome (Expensive and all-or-nothing in gain\/loss in user base)\r\n\r\nEnjoy!","title":"co.NEKTD Worlds"}
