You could design components, design devices, and reverse engineer competitors devices and steal their tech. That’d be sweet!

You could be like Ben Affleck in Paycheck.

-Ability to recall saved designs a la the flash drive(32MB to 64MB).
-Ability to rotate components but rotations could cost more, or reduce yield.
-Ability to scale batches so you don’t over produce lots.
-Perhaps an even larger scope including designing chips and then using chips to create devices.

I realize that’s a lot to ask, but I think those would create an awesome experience that could grab a lot more interest in the game.

Keep up the good work!

WHY AREN’T THERE ANY MODS?!?! T__T

I think there are a few small changes that could make it better. I realize you are no longer making games, but if you ever decide to, here are some things to keep in mind.
– It took me a long time to figure out that symbols with boxes were supposed to be connected to symbols without boxes. It doesn’t say this within the game, nor does it mention it in the tutorial video. This really made things difficult at first.
– The fact that wires couldn’t go around corners was confusing. It took awhile to figure out what the signal couplers were for.
– It’s hard to compare your current design to the product request you are trying to fill. It would be better if you could select a request, go into design mode, and see the request’s specifications while you are designing.
– I had to refer to the video several times before I could figure out how to test my design and how to sell it. It seems unintuitive so click the link, because it looks like the rest of the text. It would be better if this were a button.
– I didn’t like having to wait for my design to be tested before I could sell it. It would be better if the design just had to be tested once, or if this test didn’t step through the testing procedure. It takes too long when you just want to sell something you’ve already tested.
– It’s hard to tell how much of something you have on hand. You either have to change what the machine is making, or go to a request and select a design for it, before you can see the list of designs with the number next to it. I’m not sure where to put this to make it more visible, but it’s very important to know when you are skipping weeks waiting to get enough supply.

All in all, this is a very fun, engaging game. It’s too bad you aren’t making games anymore, because I would really look forward to (and would even pay for) more games like this.
