Hello Gatewalkers!
Today, we wanted to show you a new in-game mechanic we’ve been working on recently. Meet Mikael, the Guild merchant…
Mikael is not formally a Guild member but is entitled to trade goods between the Guild and the outer world. This means that the Guild gets all the goods necessary to operate and trades treasures gathered during expeditions in return.
In practice, Mikael buys anything that is of any value and comes from foreign worlds. Sometimes, these are figurines crafted by Surians (forest dwellers), and at other times these are mysterious toxic flowers found in the crevasses of toxic worlds. These and other exotic items are highly valued by the inhabitants of the Guild’s home planet. That is why trade is the main source of income for Gatewalkers.
Of course, trading works both ways. Gatewalkers not only sell their treasures but also buy all sorts of goods. For example, Mikael can offer flour needed to prepare various combat-buffing meals in Luis’ kitchen or rare mutagenic minerals (see our last post about the Transmutator).
You will find Mikael in the main hall of the Guild. Just start talking to him to get trading.
Apart from creating a typical in-game shop (buying and selling), we did not forget about the players’ QoL. One of the first things we thought of was adding the possibility of canceling accidental transactions with Mikael.
Another enhancement we believe will make playing easier is the possibility of trading directly from the player’s storage.
We do hope you will enjoy trading with Mikael! Please let us know what you think, and see you on the other side of the gate!
