   Hi guys! I hope this is not spamming the forum. I would have posted in the old thread if I could have changed the title.

   Well, in any case, AutoTrafego V1.1 is so different that it is almost a new game. We have listened to our customers' comments and made many improvements.

   First of all, the scoring has been turned down a notch. It should be far easier to reach excellent ratings. We have also made the Vortex easier to use. Just press the icon once and all intersections will clear up. A briefing sheet at the beginning of each level explains the scoring and targets and now there are many in-game visual scoring cues. Last but not least, the city select screen has been totally redesigned.

   

   

   Oh and before I forget:

   WHXTRWY4X363
   EA6XYM6Y9RPA
   HAKWM4PHJM64

   Enjoy! Reviews for this version are appreciated.

   Yeah your hame is awesome. The graphics bring back memories from Sim City 2000 and the gameplay is very original. Congrats! Keep on the great work.

   the artwork is just so good! Now (sorry!) change the name and the icon if you want better sales in the US store.

   Im not sure. "Management"? To me that sounds like work, not fun. I wouldnt even be sure its a game! Maybe its a utility for driving or travel? Im not trying to be mean.

   Looks nice. I have v1.0 - haven't updated yet because I need to free up some space first, but I'll do so soon.

   How are sales for you? Clearly you put a great deal of work into your game, and the results show. It's also a very original idea, which is more than can be said of most games on the app store - mine included. I can't help but wonder how the market is responding to this style of game, though. As Codemattic said, "traffic management" doesn't exactly sound fun, even though the game is a lot of fun. Getting users interested on the app store has proven very difficult for me - how are you faring?

    That's unfortunate, but not surprising really... I'm about 750 dollars in the hole right now, and if my sales don't pick up soon I doubt I'll ever recoup that.

    @ob1 Since you've changed the gameplay, perhaps try (again) to get gizmodo, etc. to mention/review the game? The game looks great, which should help.

    I wouldn't change the name away from Management, as your game could appeal to those (mainly women?) who like the popular 'time management' games. You might want to try some of the free versions of those games to see if there are elements of those games you could adapt and add to yours. You could have popups which show a random driver's face and how they are getting angry as they wait, and a message showing what they are thinking about, i.e. "I need to get home and pay off the babysitter", "I'm getting late for my interview", "Will this lite ever change?", etc. You might already have this, but you could have 'missions' such as "get all the buses through as fast as possible" or whatever.
