I have joined the forums today, after having played GearCity a lot the last couple of days.
Loving the game so far and I think the game is way more developed than I expected when I bought it on steam (early access).
I started my first company in New York which I named LMC (*last name* Motor Company). I started in 1900 and on my first try I went bankrupt in 1927, when all of a sudden I started losing money. The result of which was that I went bankrupt within a year.
I didn't understand what the reason was for losing basically everything in a matter of months. Luckily I saved my game just before this happened. I reloaded my save and I discovered that I spent WAY too much on marketing by accident. Nearly went bankrupt again during WW2, when my factories were closed for about 5 years.
Anyways, my company is now in the year 1995.
Here are some figures:
Cars currently on sale:
LMC Transit (Minivan), selling about 15000 units per month.
LMC Coupe de Ville (2+2 Coupe, sort of resembles the real thing), selling about 11000 per month
LMC Jolt (Hatchback), selling about 6000 units per month.
+ several older models which either still sell good enough or are still in stock/reserve.
The cars sell through branches across the US and Canada.
I currently own 56% of my own company and my broker says the market cap (which I think is the value of the company, but I'm not sure) is $14.846.479.302.656 or 14.8 trillion dollars.
I currently own 34% of a company called 'Seed Cars'. The market cap for this company is 6.1 trillion dollars. I suppose 34% of that is mine. I was lucky to buy a lot of shares from this company early in the game.
That's about it
If anyone is interested i'll upload some screenshots.
