Airport Tycoon ✈️

Loading screen: plane on the runway, moving clouds, a changing loading-stage caption, a progress bar, a Skip button; after loading — Play. Intro cinematic (after Play): a plane flies off → a car pulls up to the terminal → the first passengers get out → Captain appears with lines → the camera shows the start of the NPC route; the scene can be skipped. Passengers don't spawn inside the building — the NPC source is arriving cars (they keep pulling up throughout the progression).

Security Lane (manual): the tutorial leads to the lane; a passenger stands on the check point → the player walks up → interaction via E → metal-detector animation → the passenger leaves the lane. Gate Desk (manual): after the message "All passengers cleared security" the player walks to the desk → starts processing via E → a "typing on the computer" animation → the passenger goes to boarding. After both operations the tutorial shows 3/3 tasks.

The first 3 passengers give 3 × $35 = $105. The money isn't in the wallet immediately: the HUD has two balances — green (available to spend) and blue (pooled in the ATM). The player walks to the ATM → the amount is visible → cash packs fly to the HUD → the green balance grows → the ATM pool drops. Next to the ATM: Auto Collect R$249 (magnet) and Like + Join Group → +$1,000.

Before purchase the Vending model is shown translucent; on activation the parts fly into place (it doesn't appear whole instantly). The game first shows both operations manually, then hands them to NPCs for free.

Daily Rewards opens, Day 1 = $300 (a separate reveal animation). The next Vending Machine 2 = $70 — the first mandatory paid income building. Offers appear at the same time: Speed Boost R$9, Starter Pack R$49 ($2,000 + 2X Money Boost + 3X Luck Boost + Faster Passengers), a Starter Pack timer ~20 minutes on the right.

The tutorial ends, but green arrows keep leading to the mandatory next button. Early buttons cost $10: after Walls ×several the player sees Planter and Seating but defers them and follows the arrow to Gate Sign → Carpet → Trash Can → Bush → Seating ×2 → Entrance Door; then returns to the skipped objects to fill the zone %. Each purchase: translucent model → step on it → deduction → parts fly in → child buttons open → "Expand Your Airport %" rises. At 19% Show Me still gives no visible result. Full purchase order — §B4.

By ~15:41 the ATM holds about $3,000. The wallet may be short of a build even though the sum is already in the ATM — the game nudges you to collect the ATM, buy cash for Robux, or get Auto Collect. After a manual collect it all flies into the green balance. Prices then don't rise continuously: Lamp $20, Plants $20, but some following Plant is still $10, then $20 again. Within one zone $10 and $20 alternate. Cleaning trash by holding E gives +$6.

At 66% → 68% Show Me starts highlighting the remaining mandatory buttons. Throughput upgrades (full matrices — §B3): Security L2→L3 $800, L3→L4 $1,500; Gate Desk L2→L3 $370, L3→L4 $800, L4→L5 $1,300. Runway is already available: L1→L2 $2,500 (respawn 12→11.4s) — deferred. The Amenities upgrade section is still empty (Café/Boba not built yet).

Late zone-1 buttons: Crosswalk $20, Parking Lot $20, Plants $30, Trash Cans $30, Extra Gate Desk Tier 1 R$12 (an orange Robux button, optional), Gate Door $40, Exterior Lamps $10, Plants $20, Gate Post $40. At 100% a yellow Expand $350 button appears → badge + a short victory sound → a new area opens, arrows lead to the next gate.

Luck decor (order): Seating $20, Trash Cans $20, Aquarium $20, Carpeting $40, Seating $80; some Seating is marked with a clover icon and gives +5% luck. Then Interior Lamp $50, Fountain Circle $50, Carpeting $80, Exterior Lamp $80, Seating $90. Fountain $470 gives +10% luck. The multiplier rises 1.15 → 1.20 → 1.25 → 1.30 → later 1.45x. By 39:43 the ATM holds $15,415 — one collect covers several expensive upgrades.

A second Security Lane is bought for $50, the button reads "Not Required To Expand". The new lane starts at L1 — no staffer, the player scans manually again (~46 min). Second-lane upgrades: $350 → $900 → $1,800 → $2,900. Cleaning Supplies $390 creates a room and an NPC janitor: it finds piles on its own and clears them one by one (not all trash at once). After that manual cleaning stops being a required part of the loop.

Runway L1→L2 $2,500 (respawn 12→11.4s): before purchase the runway is black, after — with painted lines; destination milestones are checked automatically and a new destination opens. L2→L3 $5,000 (11.4→10.8s); 5 levels total. Late interior: Seating $160, Ceiling $160, Interior Lighting $50, Chandelier $230, Hanging Light $230, Restroom Doors $230, Signs $80, Restroom Interior $80 (one purchase per stall). At 95% Flight Status Boards appears (a blue button). A second Expand $500 at 100% opens the next area with pricier buttons.

At this point: luck 1.45x, money 1.15x; Security and Gate upgraded; Café and Blossom Boba upgraded; two Security Lanes running; planes fill and depart automatically; the janitor clears trash; the first rebirth still needs $150,000. Settings splits audio into buses: Music · NPCs (footsteps) · Interface (clicks/hovers) · Effects (money/doors); gameplay toggles Auto Collect and Faster NPCs.

Above a passenger are a name, a counter of the form 1/N, and a cash value. The value varies and $0 occurs.

car arrives → group gets out → NPC gets name/1-N/value → Security queue → manual (L1) or auto (L2+) check → visits Vending/Boba/Café (may queue at Amenities) → money to ATM → Gate Desk queue → processing → Boarding X/Y +1 → plane full → leaves the gate → taxi to Runway → takeoff → next-plane respawn timer

• Plane capacity develops 3 → 7 → 19 — 19 is not the base spec but a late level.
• A1 and A2 run at once with separate Boarding counters.

Trash is a secondary objective between construction and passenger service, not the core loop of Airport Tycoon.

a random pile appears in a built zone (dirt + banana) → stays on the map → more may appear nearby → the player notices it while building → walks up → holds E → a rising spinning sound + a circular meter → the pile disappears → +$6 → repeat → Trash Cans do not stop the spawn → up to 6 piles in one area → Cleaning Supplies $390 creates a janitor → the janitor finds and clears piles sequentially

• First appearance ~12:56; repeats in new spots (incl. by Security).
• Accumulation: 2 in one point → later 4 → 5 → 6 piles at once; each handled separately.
• Trash Cans ($10/$20/$30/$120) are building objects; piles continue to appear after they are purchased.

Maximum Security Lane 1 performance: 0.9s, 71 passengers/min.

Amenity performance: L3 — 1.7s and $13 per passenger; L5 — 0.9s and $20.

Runway: L1→L2 respawn 12→11.4s ($2,500) · L2→L3 11.4→10.8s ($5,000) · 5 levels total. Runway doesn't speed up passenger processing — it shortens the gap between planes and opens destinations.

Second Security Lane (pad $50, starts L1 manual): upgrades $350 → $900 → $1,800 → $2,900. Gate Desk A2: L1→L2 $700, L2→L3 $1,600.

How to read: rows follow purchase order; ×N means consecutive identical buttons at the stated price. Progress % shows the zone state after the series.

Offer contents and prices:

The HUD keeps the center clear for movement and construction. Persistent data is anchored to the edges; the next objective is connected to the world through arrows and labels above pads.

Shop is a centered window without a full-screen dimmer. The title and red X stay fixed; tabs replace only the product grid. The world, HUD, and current offer remain visible around the window.

The menu uses three repeatable levels. New station types can be added through data; each station does not need a separate custom screen.

Meta screens reuse the same shell but switch the inner pattern: progress list, node tree, paginated calendar, or vertical toggles.
