I wanted to add a bit of difficulty (it's not that much xD)
I didn't want to continue it (I need to get back to developing my other game). I'm pretty satisfied with this V1, but many people are asking for more content X)
Ok, I think I got it By bringing a card from your board to the shop, you can sell/remove it from your board and get back 1 gold. (I added it to the "How to play" panel, but maybe it's not clear enough in game ?)
That's also how the bots swap their cards between fights.
Cards attack a random enemy (I just added it to the How to play info).
Some cards/heroes have "On play" effects. If you were able to put cards back into your hand, it would be too powerful. (It's a gameplay choice here.)
Bots play like you: rolling to get cards, buying them, selling them, and trying to build a better board following some rules. BUT, players in a game don't share the same card pool for now. A card just has a % chance to show up when you roll. I'll probably add a shared pool in a later update.
That's the plan, but not for right now. I'd like to have gyms of different sizes down the line, each with its own height cap for employees and clients.
There are two kinds of growth right now: height and muscle. Height is visible on anyone, that's the treadmill. Muscle is the weight rack, but it's harder to show with the models I use, so for now it only applies to employees: if one of them crosses a strength threshold during the day, her model changes the next morning. Clients gain strength on paper but you won't see it on them yet.
If you're playing on browser, then you're already playing 0.3.1 If you're playing with the downloadable version, then, you need to download it again OR, you can update it if you're using the Itch io Desktop App.
Thanks for the report. I tried to reproduce it with Kendra, same thing you described (height training first, then strength training), but nothing went wrong on my end.
If it happens again, could you tell me roughly how tall she was, which machine she was using, and whether you were playing the web or the Windows build? A screenshot would help a lot too.
I'm currently dealing with some health issues, but as soon as that's taken care of (I don't know how long it will take), I'll post a patch to fix some bugs.
Not planned for now, sorry. The controls would have to be rebuilt from scratch for touch, and the game is pretty heavy for phones. Maybe someday once things are more stable on PC, but I can't promise anything.
Treadmill = Height gain, Weight rack = Strength gain. Right now Strength isn't visually noticeable because I don't have a way to change character models based on it. Next update though, some models WILL react to strength gains! Also thinking about adding a way to see a character's height/strength stats listed somewhere, just gotta find the time for it.
I'd like to work a little more on the game, but it's REALLY hot right now where I live... I'll try to post an update once a month, but this one will be a little later—it's impossible to work on it right now (or do anything else, for that matter).
I’ve already been working on some new 3D models, and I hope to add the employee and growth systems for them.
Bodypart specific growth would be awesome, but I don't have the 3D models for it and it's not in the budget right now. If I find a solution it's definitely something I'd want to add!
A player model is not planned for now, but maybe once everything else is in place!
The next update will let you pack, move and sell placed equipment so reorganizing your gym will be much easier.
For tracking gym clients' progression, I don't really plan to go further with that (unless I find a way to get better models with shape keys, or just a lot more models). But I will be adding hireable employees at some point: you'll be able to train them and they'll gain visible physical progression over time, with a screen to track their stats and body changes. Models will update the next day once certain stat thresholds are reached.
