My ideas for the extension of the EconoView app:
- Have a combobox to choose which data to display (“Year”, “Week”, “Adaptive”, with the latter one being preselected)
- Have a graph showing the development of income through time, depending on combobox selection:
- “Year”: show last 60 days or however the length of a year will be in the game
- “Week”: show last 7 days
- “Adaptive”: show since beginning of the game (maybe later on if the player dies and the children play on, you could reset at that time)
- In the current income, use the following columns depending on the combobox selection:
- “Year”: show current year, last year and either two years ago or yearly average over all time (whatever you think is better)
- “Week”: show current week, last week and either two weeks ago or weekly average over all time
- “Adaptive”: show “the day before yesterday” (like it is now), “daily average over all time”, and “all time totals”
- Have two tabs on top: “Business” and “Personal”
- “Business” just shows what we currently have and what you see in the screenshot
- “Personal” shows personal balance with income (when taking a job) and expenses (apartment rent, car purchase cost, loan, food, clothes, whatever… in the future also loan interest, car repair cost, fuel cost)
Once you open the details for a single shop, it should be the same with combobox, graph and the income statement columns.
Optional additional idea: Add the option to buy the “EconoView+” app. The default app could only provide “Adaptive” view (and maybe not even a graph, so just the half empty dialog we have right now), while the “plus” app will offer full functionality and come with a monthly fee.
Let me know what you think about it.
