Aviation Empire: KLM-game lets you play airfield on iPhone and iPad - iphoneclub.nl

Empire Aviation logo KLM has a 3D simulation game for iPad and iPhone released. Aviation Empire for iOS shows remarkably no purely promotional app, but a real game where the player aircraft long different airports let fly. It appears to be a mix of simulation elements and the history of KLM, which began nearly a century ago. Performance in the game are shared with other users. The game was Thursday, June 27 shown to the press and is now available on the App Store.

 Empire Aviation Airport Pieter Elbers, chief operation officer of KLM, presented the game in Hangar 14 at Schiphol, where a real Boeing 747 served as a backdrop. He said that KLM 3.9 million followers on Facebook and has actively wants to communicate with consumers. Martijn van der Zee, senior vice president of E-Commerce Air France KLM, explained that even further: “We found out through our social media messages out that people want to be, want to join, really involved” says Van der Zee. The title of the game was ultimately determined by the consumer. “You notice to consumers that they do not like to be approached, unilaterally they really want a relationship with you. This game is beaten a bridge between the real world and the virtual world. “Because 70% of KLM’s customers come from abroad, it pays even more widely to develop a real game says Van der Zee.

Aviation Empire was created by Little Chicken Game Company, an Amsterdam developer who got the daunting task to discuss what a game it had to be with KLM. It was mainly a balance to be sought between game elements and realism. Aviation Empire to both fans of airplanes as fans of simulation games fascinate. This balance seems one of the strengths of the KLM-game. The objective of the game is to buy aircraft, airports open and carry passengers. The story begins in 1919 mode, in which you fully compliant with the history begins with the line Amsterdam to London. You earn some money, place buildings as control towers and hangars and with the passage of the years, the fleet is bigger and more accessible airports. A as a true manager should take into account passengers happy, healthy profits, rising costs and more micro-management tasks.

Empire Aviation globe Aviation Empire has a big advantage over similar simgames: there has to be earned with no money. Although there are in-app purchases, for example, to launch a spacecraft is to play without something to give the game completely. Also it has no limitations in commercial games is often the case, as to wait for certain developments. When the play sessions of the 150 testers were viewed showed how long they played. Unlike many other simgames, which play sessions of fifteen minutes the rule rather than the exception, the testers were playing.

hours on end

course Aviation Empire a game that was created in collaboration with a commercial company, but the balance seems to have been found. The various classical ‘baking’ and the beautiful plates in the history of the company for the lovers a nice extra, but you need to be clear to start to the game. No aviation fanatic KLM and developer Little Chicken Game Company both give that cooperation often resembled a boxing match, but always led to the correct result. So the players wanted the aircraft would appear. Bit bigger in the picture According to KLM no longer knocked it and seemed to fly the aircraft dangerously close to each other. Yet the compromise appeared to work. Because in the end the game always plays it safe: all aircraft remain even in the biggest problems neatly in the air
