About This Game

Ventura Inc is an economic simulation in a consistent multiplayer world. (MMO)
As a player you'll be running a company, signing contracts with other players involving the exchange of goods and services.
In this simulation, you are, just like in the real world, doing business with other player companies to make your profit.
It is possible to choose who you deal with and who's pricing you'll try to undercut. There are different business branches available from where you can make your money:
  • Oil Refinery
  • Transportation
  • Storage
  • Farming
  • Banking
  • Power Plants
  • ...
Key to avoiding bankruptcy is making sure you run your business more cheaply than that of your opponents. (Signing better deals)
Most of the branches need other branches to function. As an example: to generate power you have to rely on storage as well as oil transported to your power plant. Someone will also need to build your power plant for you (someone with a construction branch).

Ventura Inc wants to bring you a game in wich you can play with your friends , work in team, communicate, trade and get rich.

Alright. First of all, I like management games. I found the game while randomly browsing the store and it immediately caught my attention. However, it currently has severe flaws, in my opinion, which makes me want a refund (for now, at least). Major issues: - You have no way to predict how well something will sell (to "NPC" automatic customers). You have to use trial and error, and manually adjust your price, then wait for a server tick, see the results, rince & repeat. It doesn't make sense. - Competition between players is mostly based on price. Engineers have more options but it's often limited to maxing every setting. Meaning basically you'll run out of business, unless you can log in often to fight a potential price dumping war. - The game mechanics heavily favor "whales" (already rich players). Early, you struggle; your businesses suck and you can't produce much, + you have to face loan repayment. But elder players got buildings with litterally 2000x your output. So they get fat...

I buy obscure MMO games. This game breaks my heart. A bunch of nerds clearly got together and made, 'something'. One of the positive reviews on here is by someone that 'knows' the developer. Big surprise. This is the WORST game I have ever played. My biggest issue: I managed to bankrupt my company, and there is no way to restart as far as I can tell. 18 dollars down the drain. How is this even allowed on Steam? I mean, it's literally impossible for me to do anything except load the game and look around at this point. That's not a game. How did I bankrupt my company? I was trying to follow the tutorial, and the instructions were cut off every few pages. So, I bought the wrong blueprints, bought the wrong plot of land, accidentally demolished a building, etc. Finally discovered that the instructions are on a wiki outside of the game (http://ventura-inc.com/wiki/index.php/Your_first_steps_into_the_game) as well, but alas it was too late... Nothing about this game deserves any atten...

Online Capitalism Simulator. Open a corporation, take out a loan, start a business. Build your business and research new industries. Trade what you produce, or build your own supply chain. Graphics are Sim City 2000 esque, but it is online multiplayer and that makes it a lot of fun anyways. Bought and paid full price which might be a little high for the current online community, but assuming we can some interest, it will be more fun the more people join.

I will start with saying that yes this is very early access and it still needs work. But from what I can see it gets worked on a lot, and the dev is in game chat often. He listens to what we have to say and comes back with explenations when there are some issues. There are still things not in the game yet and I can not comment on these but these are some of the things you can do in this game: -Run a company that provide services. (example : transport, construction, renting of buildings, housing and the restaurant business.) -Run a company that provides materials. (example : Farms, Fishing, Wood works, steel mills , ect) A mix of these are required to run a succesful company, by balancing your branches to work with eachother is quite fun but challenging at first, but after a while once you get the hang of how the game works it becomes really relaxing. If you like numbers and an initial challenge I recommend having a look at this game!

good game for a shortline thinking singleplayer should be in the game with Ai companies and that you can expand as much as you want with plots

A bit expensive for the current state but if you like economic games well worth a shot. Admin is quite active, but makes changes without notifying players, making the game unplayable for days time to time, Got great potential, needs polishing.

Even In in current state it is a hard yet rewarding experince or bankrupting your self trying to start a bank with only 2 million dollars. 10/10 would destroy all my gain again.
