Take a peek! A lot of work going on.
In good faith I wanted to put a playable version of what I have been working on out there for you to check out!
Overview:
I'm super excited about the progress that is being made and the direction the game is going.
Now, I'm still working on a lot of things, but in this version you should be able to get a feel for the game and take a peek. I've currently limited it to just the Yorlen Village area where you will be starting now, but the rest of the map is being updated as we speak.
No bugs, no issues:
I'm not interested in bugs or you having to report issues...YET! This is more for you just to poke around and see what's new that stands out, but even with that I hope you are left with a good impression.
How to play it:
Download the build by right clicking on A Merchant's Promise in your game library
Go to Properties in the drop down
Go to Game Versions & Betas
Select Experimental
Your download should start!
NOTE: If you DO NOT see the Experimental Build.....the last version you played was probably the previous known BETA Build, it has now been removed. Your game should revert to the Default build and you will need to RUN THAT VERSION ONCE. Exit out.
You should now see the Experimental build when you check again.
I'm in Discord for a bit should you need help with any of this.
What's New in the Update:
My gosh. A lot. A few of these things aren't active in this current experimental build because they tie into other areas (Like the trade/economy boards in the markets).
But I'll hit the highlights:
Performance (+)
Player's will be able to act more like "Shopkeepers"
Player's will be able to set up Roadside Trader Areas to trade with Villagers passing by
Player's can purchase actual Shops to sell from
Updating the Tutorial
New Radial UI Menu
New Cart and Horse Purchasing system
New Carts
Cart's now have Durability, Load Capacity and New UI
Wheels are no longer manually taken off and put on, they are upgraded via upgrade zones
Items lock in place and on carts
UI Updates
Dictionary Updates
Map Updates
Economy Boards in Town's to show demand of items
Horse's have carriages and harnesses
Pricing and scale updates
New House Buying System
Like I said, don't worry about bugs, UI issues, or anything that pops up yet, but please feel free to give your "overall" feedback if you try it out!
Thank you!
