Title: Offline game
Post by: Ndira on August 28, 2017, 09:19:01 AM
I love this game very much but I can't afford it. The online nature and credit system is too much for me. Why don't you design the same game and put it on Play Store for us to buy it and play offline. The concept is very good.

I don't want to advertise other games but if you did a bit of search then you can find numerous similar games on play store although they are less polished and less powerful, for instance none of them actually concern about the concept of slot and 7×24 hours scheduling, but that's probably as far as you can get on mobile

Edit: some similar offline games on windows are better than those on play store

The whole concept is of an online multiplayer simulation, so the offline system won't be considered.

Also by the way: the cost to play AirwaySim is really only about 0.1eur/usd per day, so that cannot be a big obstacle. Since a similarly detailed offline game would probably cost somewhere upwards from 30 eur/usd to buy (if we forget those "pay to get new stuff" kids games that most mobile games are these days).

Well there is a free and opensource under active development but is still in alpha/beta and doesn't seems to work well for now if you have too many planes.

For offline play, I'd suggest finding a Super Nintendo and a copy of Aerobiz Supersonic.

Just played through the 1955-1975 scenario a couple weeks ago. Amazing after all these years I still enjoy playing it.
