The mechanics you have for clumping buildings together are really solid. The game falls apart for me on one issue, though.\r\rIn my eyes, a world builder like this should be about exponential expansion, where the city starts out with 10 residents and a little cornerstore and by the end of the game you're plopping down giant skyscrapers with spare change. You, on the other hand, went down the cookie clicker approach, where you match growing income with growing prices, making any gains on the player's part a completely meaningless skinnerbox.\r\rInstead of increasing the price of each building with each one placed, I think you should've just made the upgrades more potent and exponentially more expensive (though still at a static cost). At that point, the player still has to increase income to afford the upgrades (which are neccessary because of limited worldspace), but the city actually shows the progress the player's made.\r\r(P.S. - in your dropbox links, if you replace 'dropbox.com' with 'dl.dropbox.com' you'll get a direct download instead of going through dropbox's page)"},{"author_name":"manabreak","author_uid":"11177","time":"Dec 14, 2015 @ 6:14am","epoch":1450073340,"text":"The game is unplayable for me.

With the price of everything increasing *every purchase* and the "time to wait for a sane time to buy land" is in realtime, he's right that maybe a good concept got crunched into the "clicker" category that's an imitation of the fun like cotton candy, but then you sour on it REAL fast. \r\rI know this is LD, but even something as simple as "build enough money to build Hotels and become a millionaire" is a goal. 1 more bldg type, but it's closer to the city build genre not the clicker "increase forever until a house costs 400,000 and you wait half an hour to buy land"."},{"author_name":"Pusty","author_uid":"55076","time":"Dec 14, 2015 @ 9:13pm","epoch":1450127280,"text":"Fun to play!

The idea is somewhat similar to those clicking games, but the game's slow pace doesn't make it feel like you're making a good progress. The inflation rate is so high that you have to wait a lot to earn money to buy the next upgrade. But with a little tweak this game could be very fun and addicting. Also a nice cheerful music!"}],"images":["ld34\/38348-41e636b68ee76261fda9c696bb36bff0.jpg","ld34\/38348-8878c892dffd962543d44c2c109765ad.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/dl.dropbox.com\/s\/0ea5939qjox257g\/WorldGrowerWindows.zip?dl=0","text":"Windows"},{"url":"https:\/\/dl.dropbox.com\/s\/ezm0ytyzv4yoek3\/WorldGrowerMac.zip?dl=0","text":"OS\/X (Not Tested)"},{"url":"https:\/\/dl.dropbox.com\/s\/ktfp27p7gs6k85d\/WorldGrowerLinux.zip?dl=0","text":"Linux(Not tested)"},{"url":"https:\/\/dl.dropbox.com\/s\/m83hcha3h8kzgrj\/WorldGrowerSource.zip?dl=0","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"5965","g_author":"38348","g_event":"LD34","g_eventkey":"31","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"5916","g_title":"World Grower - Growth of the civilization","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"585","g_commentcount":"89","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/511439\/38348-shot0-1450072351.PNG-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/511439\/38348-shot1-1450072351.PNG-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"IMPORTANT:\r\nOSX version might not work.
