Good Lords, Fair Ladies!
It's been two months since the last update, and we're already eager to share the first details about what will be added to the game in the near future. Specifically, let's talk about the new market box.
Not only have we brought visual improvements to it, but we've also added some features. "Why would you do that?" - you may ask.
Here comes the answer. The Market is an important mechanic that helps to manage the resource base wisely. Players who actively used it complained that the box was not exactly convenient. Some even found the trading annoying. In addition, during the game, you need to keep in focus many different points - from direct participation in military actions to strategic planning of the economy of the settlement. So it's easy to forget about an order placed on the Market. We decided to fix all the above-mentioned issues at once.
Allow us to introduce you to the way we see it
Starting from the upcoming update, you will be able to track the path of the zeppelin (whether it is flying for cargo or already returning with it) with the help of eye-pleasing animation. Moreover, additional indication is visible both in the market box itself and at the bottom of the main screen. Of course, to make this tool blend seamlessly into the game's interface, we have visually redesigned the box. It became more attractive while keeping its simplicity and clarity.
With the upcoming update, the Marketplace gets two new features. Now its box may open automatically if an order is completed and/or if you have a shortage of the resource you are trading. (The game pauses when this happens). Combined with the ability to repeat the last order, these new features greatly reduce the complexity of trading, while giving you more control over it.
If anyone feels that all of the above is unnecessary, don't worry, you can simply leave all these options disabled.
The Market box transformation is just one of the improvements we're preparing for you in the next update. Next time we'll talk about more features to come. Thank you for being with us!
Yours, the Door 407 dev team
