CotSC v1.1 - The Post-Jam Update

Cards of the Scaling City
A browser game made in HTML5

Hey folks! Sorry this one took a while, there was a ton I wanted to add, but development was starting to drag on and I was beginning to burn out. There's still so much stuff to enjoy, though!

If you run into any weird glitches, please let me know in the comments!
If you have a hilariously massive score that breaks the game, also let me know in the comments!

Additions:

  • 25 New Buildings! (Total: 38)
  • 24 New Policies! (Total: 34)
  • Hand Redraw Mechanic (Press the "Redraw" button to recycle your hand a limited amount of times)
  • Being Able To Look At Your Current Inventory
  • Pause Menu
  • Card Duplication Quick Upgrade (Duplicates 1 card)
  • Big Building Packs (5 buildings, pick 2. Double the cost of a normal pack.)
  • Light particle effects on building placement or purchasing an object in the store.

Changes:

  • Completely overhauled item description system and general UI
  • You can now hover over placed buildings to read their information, and get their current score.
  • Buildings about to be placed have their score projected (Known Issue: This can get really long on some buildings!)
  • Score added in the current turn is now displayed. 
  • Rebalances to many buildings and policies.
  • Rarity system is now functional. More powerful buildings and policies will now appear less often.
  • +1 Turn by default, and target score now increases by +145.
  • Buildings in Packs now have a 1 in 20 chance of being Special (Bonus or Multiplier)

Bug Fixes:

  • "Score when placed on terrain" bonuses.... just straight up didn't work. This has now been fixed.
  • All the weirdness with hover descriptions has been removed. Because the hover text stuff has been completely replaced.

Future Plans:

The rest of the planned content for this update (Boss Fights!) will be in the next, but I don't know when that'll be. I'll probably take a break and then start focusing on my main project again.

Hope to see you soon, even if it isn't on this game!
