GROWTH INDUSTRIES
-- "Bigger is Better"
Inspired by tile-building board games like Suburbia, this game of mega-corp machinations has you slavishly working to satisfy company shareholders. Business style, bottom-lines, and ethics are unimportant to these jackals -- all they want to see is their portfolio swell with inflated stock prices!

Made in 48-hours from the Ludum Dare Compo by Martin "quill18" Glaude
Livestreamed start-to-finish in front of an audience of thousands.
Tools:
Unity 5.3
Photoshop
Audacity
Bosca Ceoil
Sublime Text 3
Evernote
Fonts:
- Segoe UI Black and Segoe UI Symbol (for extended Unicode Glyphs)
- Industrial Gothic Single Std Regular
Special thanks to Essentia, Eva, and Briarstone for beta testing -- as well as everyone out in Twitch-land for supporting me and my streaming!
---
Known Issues: The UI works at all resolutions, but only when windowed. Unity 5.3 goes funny at full-screen and so is not recommended.
---
DIRECTIONS
(Note: There is a full tutorial in game.)
Select a hex tile from the row at the bottom of your screen, then click one of the highlighted areas to place it.
Your ultimate goal is to grow your Stock Price as much as possible. You can do this with cards that provide direct growth (▲▼) -- but also by having a large amount of cash, which provides dividends to shareholders.
Note that hex tiles have a base type (manufacturing, marketing, sales, and administration) indicated by their colour and icon. Additionally, many tiles also have a keyword (like "Offshore") that may give bonuses to adjacent cards.
