Review our startup - Taxi Mogul, a persistent browser game
m_eiman: I think it's a fun idea, with three area that can be improved:1) Like the others are saying, you need to find a (better) designer2) Playing the game seems to be a massive time sink. 
I could never spend that much time on a game, regardless of how good it is. And I don't think it's just me, pretty much nobody with a job could spend a few minutes every half hour to run their taxi company. Which ties into..3) Too much micro management.
This is mostly a personal preference, but I'd get tired of micro managing my cabs pretty soon.Things that would make it easier for me to play:a) Make it possible to play in a rewarding and competitive way spending no more than a quarter to half an hour per day.b) Less micro management, but that should be a requirement to achieve a) anyway.I can see the Challenge thing as a mini-game, maybe it could make it on its own as a game widget. Maybe make a Wordpress et al widget that doubles as a game and as an ad for the "big" game?You have an interesting idea, looking forward to see how it evolves!
