Storm Chasing Video Game

I was part of the Kickstarter for that game before the Covid pandemic happened. For a while, I forgot I had contributed to it...lol. Hoping my aging Windows PC can run the game with decent performance. I got my early access code this morning. The real-time data weather modeling is a cool feature - seeing what happens in-game vs. the actual real-life event.
whats it called
 
Difficulty levels, consisting of real-world situations:

Beginner: Unlimited funding/time
Novice: Unlimited funding/limited time frame
Advanced: Limited funding/time frame
Veteran: $3000/60 days for the entire YEAR
Expert: $1000/10 days for the entire YEAR


The idea is that the less time/money you have to work with, the better your forecasts and chases have to be; you'd better make everyone count when you've got 20% of the resources as many other chasers. This would force players to use more scrutiny when deciding whether to chase or stay home on a given day, depending on the situation.

Basically, if you suck, you need all the chase days you can get. If you're a badass, you can be thrown a handful of opportunities and come home with lots of trophies 😉

Also, the game must contain a ton of memory because several different scenarios have to be a part of the program; there must be a virtually endless conbination of scenarios that can play out wx-wise to prevent players from "mastering the game" and essentially "beating" it. It must be realistic in the sense that, even the most experienced, most successful chasers still bust some days and don't know why.

A 3000 CAPE with a breakable cap in good supercell winds and ideal surface conditions cannot yield the same wx everytime, and so on.
We could also make the chase vehicle have damage scales based off of difficulty (Beginner: no damage
Novice: minimal damage
Advanced: Low damage but not minimal
Veterian: High damage
Expert: Realistic damage)
the higher the level the more damage you have to repair
 
I'm leading up a team working on a Collectable Card Game, if anyone is interested -- Fun people only :)

I have a CCG expert w/beta testing experience, but I'm looking for more chasers interested in helping. Not 4 profit, just a parody game 4 fun.

Here are some prototype cards: {All made w/AI & PS}. God bless!
please don't be mad (I used one of your cards and edited over it for concept) Here is one you could do for Sean Casey (you may edit or decline, just an idea)
