Hello, Cityscapers have a minor update while I'm preparing for bigger features.
1. Education rework
Education was a new feature added when chips were added to the game. Education ties to the job chips are able to apply to. Education is now tied to tiles instead of buildings. Block tiles now hold an education value which will be used when residential buildings are build on them. Education level can now be added by building education buildings. The increase in education level is stackable meaning the more education buildings are built, the higher the education level will be for the tiles.
More updates are planned for the education system.
2. Improved loading system for the main game.
The main game scene is now loaded in background during the loading screen which should make the main game load faster.
3. Remove building unlock
All buildings are now unlocked from the beginning of the game.
4. Added two new buildings
Added a new commercial building, the cafe which has a commercial rate of 1.5, a base income of 80, and a commercial range of 3x3. It cost 750 credits to build a cafe.
Added a new education building, the library. Libraries cost 400 credits to build, has an education impact of 0.2. It also increases surrounding tiles education level by 5.0 in a 3x3 range.
5. Added new stats for small schools and highschools
Small schools and Highschools now impact surrounding tiles, increasing their education level.
Small schools: Increase the education level by 15.0 for tiles in a 3x3 area
Highschools: Increase the education level by 30.0 for tiles in a 5x5 area
5. Added a profile system for the web build
Profile system has been added to the web build. The web build now tracks your stats as you play.
More improvements for the profile system are being planned.
6. Remove desktop builds
Windows, mac, and linux builds are being removed for now. Cityscapers will be playable in web version for now.
