We are looking to determine the visibility of a citizen in the game. Thank you.","answer":"We want our players to create a bond with the House Flip citizens whose offers they accept on their fixer uppers. This is AI (artificial intelligence) driven, so there's randomization on which family makes an offer (read: all families can make high and low offers). Our players will see a family name associated with each offer so that the simulation effect is there, and eventually we'll be introducing these \"citizens\" as animations in the city maps where our players can revisit past house flip..."},{"question":"I find the name of your company rather unusual. What is the background of the name?","answer":"\"Unusual\" is actually a good description of our company name. There's some intentional ambiguity as we want to be associated with \"fun\" (we are trying to entertain our players after all), plus make our games viral and to spring up like mushrooms. While fungal could've been a candidate, I think it's safe to say that we didn't want folks associating us with athlete's foot. And just to make it even more light, we pronounce it as \"fun-jee\".

But as you appropriately point out with Sims Free Play (also in Top Grossing), our game SEEMS similar but is dec..."},{"question":"Greetings, I commend you and your partners for this project.

In terms of a one-time investment, it's a single commitment on Wefunder. I'm not aware of any equity crowdfunding platform that does a monthly subscription basis...but I'm pretty new to this too.
