Developer posts and news about this game.
Hello everyone, This is a difficult announcement to make, but after much thought, I’ve decided to remove The Trader from the Steam store. As the sole developer, personal circumstances have made it challenging for me to continue working on the game, and I don’t want to leave it in
This update adds the ability to add a follower to help you on your adventures, along with being able to carry items for you. Along with being able to add a follower, you can now customise this follower within the new character customizer, which will also allow you to customise em
Small update with just a few minor tweaks to improve the accuracy of NPCs and Raiders.
Apologies for the delay in the update, I haven't had a lot of time. There aren't a lot of additions/changes, but a lot of the changes required more work than expected. Please let me know if there are any problems with the update. Changelog: Changes { - Improved NPC combat, they n
Taken comments in to account and made some changes and additions. Changelog: Changes { - NPCs now look at the counter whilst waiting. - Work light now looks lit up when it is on. - Increased cost of NPCs. - Moved saved storage chest in to the store (looks like a wardrobe), and is
I've been coming across a lot of great VR games, and it's inspired me to think about how VR could work in The Trader. I have many ideas, most of which I would love to implement. Let me know what you think about VR for The Trader, if there is interest in it, I will likely look fur
It's been a while since the last update, but here it is. It's a fairly big update, with many changes and additions, the main one being the new ability to hire employees to do certain tasks for you, at a daily cost. Saving has been changed to allow for multiple save games, so now
It's been a while since my last update, and I apologise for that. I have been a little busy with life lately, and unfortunately have not had too much time to work on the game as I did before. However, I have been slowly working away in order to add an addition that I hope will be
Small update fixing a few problems. Weapon sway has been added, along with FOV changes when aiming to make aiming with sights more useful. Also the handgun can now have a red dot on it.
This is a fairly big update, with lots of changes and a few additions. The biggest addition is the workbench; allowing for weapons to be modified. (Is still a work in progress, so it's a little primitive) Changelog: Changes { - Wasteland levels will now save, meaning that the lev
Small update just to address a few things. Here is the changelog: - Altered Day/Night system slightly. - Small graphical fixes. - Added a buildable Work Light to add some outdoor lighting. - Changed multiple weapon sounds. - Shotgun will now only reload the bullets it needs. - We
This is probably the biggest update yet, and so I am expecting there to be a few bugs, although I hope they are at a minimum and disruptive. Here is the changelog: - Completely changed the first person animation system so it is now more modular, allowing for easier integration of
Few small changes and one addition, the changes are listed below: - Control hints will represent the current control scheme being used. - Animation fixes when it comes to lower speeds. - Item moving won't auto move when using keyboard & mouse. - Wastelander attack changed. -
This is a video of me playing The Trader and explaining things as I go along. If there are things you might be unsure of within the game, then this video may help to clarify things. Any questions then let me know! Thanks, Dan
Not much new in this update, just altered some things including: - Food and Water levels go down slower now. - Zombies do more damage per hit. - UI changes. - Fixed problem with fridge linking to the saved storage chest and vice versa. - Animation smoothing. The only additions ar
Okay so today's update adds and changes a few things: - First up, hunger and thirst have been added to the player. These will affect how fast you can move and heal, depending on how little food and water you have. So for example, if your food and water are full, then you will mov
Sorry about this weird bug, it should be resolved now. Thanks, Dan
Apologies for the late update. I have been working away at the input system after a bug report earlier that showed what seemed to be the input system freezing up on entering the Wasteland. I could not replicate this bug so it was hard to diagnose it, therefore I rewrote a lot of
This is a fairly small update that fixes the turret. The turret now requires turret ammo to work however, as I wanted to balance it out a little more. Whilst fixing the turret I decided to rewrite some of the defences saving to make it more robust. This could mean that some items
Due to the previous input system not handling controller support very well, I decided to update it to a better system. Now there is support for controller and soon I will add the option to change controls in the menu. Other changes: - Wanderers now have names and will talk to you
