You've got scoring right.  The threshold is multiples of five: 1-4 = 1 point, 5-9 = 2 points, 10-14 = 3 points, etc.

Sets are based on the icon of a target. Escape the Vent has the addition frames, which contain targets from different sets, but, like, all the targets with squid icons are in one set. All of the ramps *are* a single set, so to fill them you would need, like, 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10. You'd need a similar spread of numbers to fill the bumpers actually. This is a rough table.

I hope that's useful!

You have figured out scanning and travel, yeah, you only get stuff you actually go to.

1. The idea here is that you immediately roll an adjacent space of your choice.

2. Yes, only to upgrade, yes you have two dice to apply.

3. If the number is circled you can use any number 1-6 instead of what is written.

There's a lot going on in this one so there's no shame in having questions. I'm glad you're getting so much out of it.

1. Yes you need to keep a continuous path.

2. Some of the tracks, (Cargo, Upgrades, Piety) have stars in them. When you fill a track up to a star, fill in a star on the star track.

Thanks for playing! I'm glad you found it interesting.

Hey, thanks for playing the game and reaching out.

A set of one is still a set, you get the extra point!

It's there!

I just want to say I made this in 2017.

Hi! Thanks for reaching out. 

This post is from five years ago and I no longer work with this student, but I will keep you in mind if this comes up again.

It plays in the browser. I've never been able to get Construct to do executables right, so pretty well all of my games are browser-based.

Hey, I just wanted to say thanks for trying this out and leaving a comment. It gave me the kick I needed to finish and upload the updated version. I also eased up the difficulty a bit in the early levels.

Also, if you have any cool memories of playing the game I'd love to hear them.

I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it. You're more than welcome to do a translation.

I've got more books, I just need to reach out to stores about restocking. 

Probably won't mark this one down until I'm marketing vol. 2 and that's a ways off still.

Maybe? Do you have any specific questions?

Basically you get points for each element in your tower, multiplied by its value in the market. Because the market can have a negative value, sometimes these will be negative points.

It's kind of wild that you found this just now. I just dusted this off and have been doing a bit of a revamp.

Cool, thanks for the feature!

Glad you enjoyed it!

That's my error, yeah. For the fix, look at the number on one die for the even or odd, rather than the total.

I do not. I will make another push, and I'll make an update once there's some this side of the Atlantic.

Nicely done!

You want to have the highest quality and population possible, while keeping goods and money as close to zero as possible (It is bad to collect taxes and not use them, also bad to run a deficit or have people going hungry).

When you ask about +10/-10, do you mean in the municipal building descriptions? That just means literally to increase or decrease a value by exactly ten.

Yeah. The goal is to have the most efficient city possible. Extra is waste.

Hey, of course that's fine. Thanks for doing that!

I think there are some effects that increase the score of a target, so I included two extra dots in case any of those doubled up. It probably won't happen with any of the extant tables, but I'd rather have too many dots than too few.

Thank you!

You're welcome! 

I got into pen and paper games back when it was just miles of people putting their weird little games our for anyone to play, it definitely feels like the most natural way to do for me.

Galaxy Trucker was definitely an inspiration for this one.

Thank You!

Lol, gross

For sure! Send me an email at metalsnail.idea [at] protonmail [dot] com and we can discuss.

You can push something further back, yeah, but only one of the top seven cards.

I like that I can play it instead of something on my phone.

You're welcome! Thanks for playing it!

Yes, those are ordered from least to greatest, you don't need to worry about suit.

Just got an email back from Rain City Games that they will be willing to sell copies of my book on consignment. So you won't even need to track me down! 

Feel free to come say hi if you want though. I'll be in the RPG room basically all Saturday and Sunday.

I've decreased the price! Enjoy!

Instructions in the new Community Post: https://metalsnail.itch.io/a-street-level-guide-to-urban-troika/devlog/688937/li...

I'll see what that entails. I might be able to make that an option for everyone.

I'll bring some, but I don't have a table or anything, you'll have to track me down (RPG Room Saturday/Sunday)

Absolutely. As I said to another commenter, I want to let this exist at full price for a bit. I'll make a community post when I start looking at promotional pricing, so be sure to watch this space!

Hi, thanks for reaching out!

I'll look into doing promotions like Community Copies and Bundles once the dust settles a bit. In the meantime, basically all of my previous work is available for free or cheap-as-free, including some previews of the book on my blog:

It is hard to understate how important this game is to how I think about games. Thank you for the port!
