Contracts

Contracts are side projects done for anonymous NPCs that reward a sum of money and research points if completed in a timely fashion (while also penalizing the player and/or company if failed). After the release of your third game, you will be contacted by a character named Jason, and you will unlock contracts. Later in the game, you will unlock medium- and large-sized contracts.

Contracts have a 24 weeks expiry time.

Let S be :
 * Let Y be the current year
 * [A <-> B] a random number between A and B.
 * D, T the values from the Contracts list

Then : Bv = S * (1+Y/25+[0<->2]) Design required = D*[-0.2 <-> 0.2]*Bv / (D+T) Tech required = T*[-0.2 <-> 0.2]*Bv / (D+T)

Payment = 1000 * Bv Penalty = [-0.5 <-> 0.2] * Bv Deadline(Small contract) = [3 <-> 6] * Bv (weeks) Deadline(Medium or Large) = [3 <-> 10] * Bv (weeks)
