Early Access on Steam has received much-deserved criticism over recent years, but there are a few gems that make it through the floodgates. Airport CEO is one of these gems. Available for around $15, it's a challenging management simulator with charming visuals. That said, it's still in development and there are plenty of areas for improvement. Here are some thoughts after spending a few hours with the game.

Darqueze dennard contracts. He served mostly as a nickel cornerback during his six years in Cincinnati, but was expected to play outside in Jacksonville. The contract included $6 million guaranteed.But it never got signed, and the Jaguars decided to move in a different direction. Dennard agreed to the deal March 17, the night before the official start of the new league year. They agreed to terms Tuesday with journeyman cornerback Rashaan Melvin on a one-year contract worth $2.25 million.Dennard had been one of six defensive players to agree to join Jacksonville in free agency. The list also included linebacker Joe Schobert, defensive lineman Rodney Gunter, linebacker/pass-rusher Cassius Marsh and defensive tackle Al Woods.The Jaguars are hoping to make more significant, long-term additions to their depleted roster with 12 picks in next month's NFL draft.Still, they signed Dennard to be a projected starter.

I'm a big fan of management games when I want to simply chill out for the evening, whether it be Cities: Skylines, Prison Architect, or even some Factorio. Airport CEO was on my radar and the positive reviews provided by the community made it a no-brainer to pick up and try out. If you have experience with RimWorld and Prison Architect, the visual style will appear familiar.

Airport CEO Cheat Gives Unlimited Funds, Perfect Logic Skill And More By admin in Games PC Developer and Publisher Apoapsis Studios recently released their latest game titled Airport CEO a simulation and management game where players take a role of a CEO of an Airport and manage everything from the ground to the top.

It's a good-looking game, especially at this early stage of the development process, but it's easy to spot some objects and areas that could do with work, namely the user interface. And this can be an issue, especially when you're only just getting started, as you're in charge of everything regarding the airport. You need to hire and fire staff, arrange the workforce, oversee construction, and fiddle with the flight planner, making sure everyone is happy.

You'll be overseeing everything from hiring and firing to the flight schedule.

First-time players will need to stick to the tutorial, which isn't easily accessible but is invaluable to figure out exactly what to do. You will likely start with a small airfield with a few stands for small Cessna planes. These are owned flights that pay you to land and remain at the designated stand for a short duration. From there, you will be charged with building a small terminal with the basics (no shops just yet) to allow for a commercial contract to be signed.

Improvements to the terminal are then carried out, including seating, refueling, facilities, and more. It's not incredibly in-depth as-of-yet, and there's no real progression in this alpha build, but what we see so far is a solid foundation. The base has been laid, now it's time to fix bugs, optimize gameplay and then work on adding in stuff from the community wishlist. And I have a few suggestions myself.

Even playing through this current build, Airport CEO is addictive. Just sitting back and watching planes land and takeoff with people rushing through your creation is a rewarding experience when things go as planned.

Airport CEO roadmap

The roadmap for Airport CEO looks promising and even addresses some of the concerns I have. Ray gigant walkthrough. There's a graphics overhaul on the way, alongside new content packs and models that will be released over time, giving CEOs more stuff to pack into their airport. My favorite addition will be random incidents and events, new utility systems such as electricity, water, Wi-Fi and additional features like customs, new turnaround services, and first-class passenger handling.

The developer even plans to open up a public Trello board with voting access to allow the community to lead the process.

Gameplay flight delays

I've encountered some issues with Airport CEO, which included the UI, but since the developer already plans to have this addressed in the near future, I'll skip the interface. I found it difficult to spot exactly where and how employees or passengers were getting stuck. An alert would pop up stating someone was stuck, but even zooming to the location didn't make it clear as to why. A helpful pointer to what could be the issue would assist.

Moving the screen, around with either moving to the edge of the screen with the pointer or using WASD/arrow keys, isn't the most fluid methods. I would have liked to see either right-click or middle-click and drag to quickly pan the screen — it makes sense when you consider the mouse scroll wheel is to zoom in and out. Lastly, the AI needs work. Vehicles need pathing improvements that allow them to turn either way out of a building (a depot or stand), and people don't always use available facilities.

Even though some were highlighted on the Steam platform, I never encountered any bugs that brought me to the desktop. The performance was actually pretty solid. Here are a few things I'd like to see:

• Multiple levels (escalators, elevators, and underpasses).
• Better road tools (roundabouts, and a one-way system).
• Better feedback from customers and clients in email.

Final thoughts

It's still early days for Airport CEO, and I'm pleased to see development is still rolling ahead with improvements planned for future releases. If you're looking for a decent management simulator in which you can waste hours of your day, look no further than Airport CEO. Just ignore some of the bugs, glitches and rather strange (and basic) gameplay elements that come with Early Access games, and you'll be entertained for hours. The game costs about $15.
