Remember to try and keep Beta discussion in the Beta Channels on discord to avoid confusion for those that currently play the Regular Version.

Progress is fast as the bulk of the work and coding was done, so I'll be rockin' out getting things fine tuned and fixing those annoying bugs and general items that feel incomplete.

Beta 037

I'm still working on it, but it's time to get this darn thing out there!

Opt into the Beta and you can check it out now!

Feel free to explore and get a feel for the new game world! I hope the last few months of work have been evident, and don't forget that your candid feedback is always welcome.

A few things have been turned off as I work to finalize them more (like some of the traveling villagers, tutorial, dictionary)...and I have a list published in the Discord in the Beta section for those of you that like to get involved that shows what I'm working on to wrap up this update!

Please pay special attention to the welcome message when starting the game as it has some information as well!

Friendly Reminder a NEW GAME is required, but if you continue with your current character you will at least keep your money.

Thank you!

As always I'm in the Discord if you need anything!

I'll get right to it.

Things are looking good and I'm aiming for the July 4th Weekend on getting this darn update out there!

The list of things that remain mainly involves adding in:

• More Rest Areas

• Tutorial Work

• A few miscellaneous map/scenery things

(^^^ you will have to leave any horses you buy with access to hay while you are gone...or risk returning to a dead horse)

I'll keep you up-to-date as usual in the Discord and thank you again for all the continued support!

Honesty is the best policy...

...weeks ago I made the announcement that a Big Update was Incoming. Several things have been updated, changed, added, and expanded. But after continuing to test and play even to this date, it's honestly just not there yet.

Here's why:

New Players and the Initial Impression

The in game Tutorial still has some sticking points that need to be addressed, and the pace of gameplay MUST be improved. As I play the game and put on my "I'm a new player hat", I wander around a little too aimlessly still (even for a game that doesn't hold your hand much!) and without enough things to capture my attention.

Of course the core features are there, but I am improving the layer of interactions to keep you busy in a good way.

Distance...oh my the distance

The map has gone from 4 kilometers to 16 kilometers. While the entire map will not be finished for this update, even the current scope of travel between towns has scaled greatly.

For example: the size of the map that once contained your entire trip from Yorlen Harbor all the way to Ivernox (the long way) would now only get you from the same Yorlen Harbor to Yorlen Village!

This brings me to the next point...

Camping, Horse Travel, Rest

With a New Stamina feature that has been added, you now have an "Rested Stamina" in addition to your "Regular Short-term Stamina". Your immediate actions like jumping, sprinting, pulling carts, lifting heavy things etc all work the same, but your Rested Stamina is taking a hit as well. Once fully depleted, you will no longer be able to do most of those things, and only Sleeping/Resting will restore it.

This means making a trade-run will no longer be just sprinting, walking, sprinting until you arrive.

But I am still adding in needed features to compliment this such as camping spots, or the ability to make camp and rest, improving horse interactions by giving them more needs and ways for you to fulfill those needs, and a few more "threats" to your trip along the way.

Respecting YOUR time

I am so lucky that many of you are excited, ready to play, and drop what you are doing to go to town on the Beta when I upload this update.

I very much dislike pushing something forward with incomplete content for a feature, or issue I've been unable to resolve...just to have you invest your time to discover, try and replicate, and send in detailed bug reports of a issue I've known about.

Thus, there are still some issues I am working out (like some fall damage issues)...and yes no more floating cheese....I hope lol.

This will be a large milestone for the game and I therefore desire for it to have an excellent impression when you guys fire it up for the first time!

I apologize for the delay, but ultimately I believe it is best for the success and future of the game!

I did want to include some screenshots of the map though! So here you go!

As always, I'm in Discord if you need anything!

Quick Personal Update: We have completed our move, my work area is set-up, and progress continues!

"What's going on with the next update!?"

Let's talk!

Patch 037 is well on the way, but has by far taken the most amount of time of any update as the game's last official update was the very end of January! Some of this was due to the move and our son's hospitalization (he is doing great now thank you!), but the main culprit is just the fact it is a very large update.

The increased map size is one of the biggest factors.

The game world is now prepped to be 2x larger. Why? Balance to accommodate horse, faster travel, and ensure the feel of it being a journey between major towns/villages. Before sending out the next Patch 037 I am wanting to reduce the "dead-time" of nothing to do on your trips. Don't worry, I'm not withholding the patch until it's 100% feature complete, but this means I would like to get a few more elements for testing in there. Mainly NPC quests, trades, and a few more interactions added in.

"So what's in the patch? And is it going to Beta first?"

To answer the 2nd point, Yes, the patch will be pushed to Beta first for you guys to do your thing. It's an incredibly helpful step to get initial feedback when hundreds suddenly get their hands on it. Once again, anyone can opt in to the Beta!

As far as patch content...here are the larger highlights:

New UI:

Horses:

Smash clams for a chance to get some pearls:

Updated Areas:

New Item Handling Mode: unlock your cursor and move items

New Visual Packing System:

Discovery Based Tutorial: tutorial is being integrated into the main game

BackPacks:

Dialogue Mode and Updated font sizes:

There are several other things like changes to the Permit System, the Player Reticle is bigger and easier to see, more action feedback (progress circles and text for consuming items, mounting horses, equipping things etc), some more simplified controls like depositing and withdrawing money now has a bindable key, and several other things I will list in the Patch 037 update!

"When is the update being released?"

I'm striving for no more than another week or two and will of course keep you posted!

Thank you for the continued support!

As always, I'm in the Discord a lot if you need anything!

As promised, I have my project up and running at the Airbnb while we wait to move into our home!

So what have I been working on this week?

Map Expansion and the final size of the game world:

This has been a complete map re-do!

It will be a little more spread out and less dense to keep performance in check, but the bulk of it has been ensuring roads are smooth enough (at least main ones) to allow for the faster travel and pace of horses pulling carts, as well as providing open areas for future tasks, interactive points of interests, and the need to camp and sleep during your travels.

Speaking of Horses and Carts

Progress and testing has gone well so far, it will be pretty cheesy at first but I'm looking for feedback on the system once I shoot the update to Beta Branch for those that love to test and give your thoughts.

Then I'll make necessary improvements to what's there before investing time into further features for them.

Basically....does your horse pull the cart with everything exploding etc.

Game Dictionary:

...this guy is getting an update as I start to test out putting in Contracts and Quests. It will also have Tutorial, Control, and Game Concepts information to help.

The Tutorial I am also working on integrating into the main game.

I won't say too much as I'm still testing and debating on the critical choice of creating a specific tutorial area vs popping up some info here and there as you play the game with an option to not receive notifications.

As I think we all have learned, there is a lot to get familiar with initially, so anything that keeps the feel of the game but provides a little easier of a learning bridge to the gameplay is great and needed.

Spring Sale

Welcome New Players! Thank you for your support! And of course to all those that answer questions in Discord and provide your feedback.

As always, I'm in Discord if you need anything!

"You've been quiet..TOO quiet..."

Don't worry!

Long story short, the family and I are moving. I'm squeezing in as much work as I can throughout the process, but I have not been as active in Discord as a result because when I sit down to work I try to focus on game progress.

But rest assured, the game is still my full-time project and commitment.

I love talking to you guys regularly and I will get back to it soon! But I'm just prioritizing working on the next update and addressing Bug Reports and improving the game with the time I have.

Things I've been working on:

The largest chunk of time by far has been working on integrating Horses into the game and a huge map overhaul. For quite some time I've mentioned needing to invest the time to determine the final scale of the game world and pace of travel. So that's exactly what I've been doing.

The current pace of A Merchant's Promise is not the intended end result:

The desire is for you to be forced to stay at inns, campsites, trade with other traveler's, avoid threats along your route, battle the elements, explore, and constantly try to uphold your Merchant Status.

To assist in this, I'm having to spread out the game map, but also need to ensure the player is staying actively engaged in gameplay, not just making a dead area bigger and more boring.

Items in Crates:

You may have seen it in the Discord, but I've shown working on a more visual packing system instead of just having the "magic filler" in the crates that rises and falls as you add items.

I'll keep you posted on the move and look forward to getting the office set back up and returning to my long work weeks haha!

First let me address this thumbnail for the post....YES, I am testing getting in some horses! If you are in the Discord I posted a teaser video here:

A Merchant's Promise Discord.

This is a huge challenge to blend them and movement with the delicate physics of the game, but I will try my hardest as it would be a great Final Tier accomplishment for Transport and Travel in the world!

Thank you so much to everyone for the feedback, requests, bug reports and participation!

I must be on the road for the next week, but I will be switching to a laptop to try and still get some work done and support Discord as much as possible!

Rest assured, I know we are used to having regular updates once or twice a month typically, but this will be a little more time in general just because of how big of an update it is. Which means probably at least end of March until I’m done with it! The game is still full-time (+), and full commitment during this period.

I can of course provide the product, but in the end it’s your opinions and experiences of the game that make it possible for it to be a success.

So thank you for taking the time to participate in the community and leave reviews that feed the Steam Machine and keep A Merchant’s Promise in the fight!

Moving on....

Community Appreciation Event!

Please go to: Community Event Announcement for the official place to confirm your chance to win!

But here are the details: 

As I will be out of town for the next week (still working here and there though!) I’d still love to have something fun to do for the game!

This one will be very straightforward!

• Loading saves with crates on wagons still caused issues. This should help as a component of each crate was assigned to the incorrect physics layer causing a conflict.

Thanks to everyone that dove into Patch 036!

Several bugs were knocked out and the game is better for it.

Keep sending them in when you find them!

However, I need to begin focusing on Patch 037 and moving the game forward again, I will incorporate bug fixes into the next official update!

This next update will focus on:

• Map Updates

• More discoverable items

• Tutorial Updates

• UI Updates

• Bug Fixes

As always I will post in discord examples of what I'm working on, and keep you in the loop!

Thanks for being an awesome community especially in the Discord and helping answer each other's questions!

• Items saving & loading better especially on carts
• Starting Items near ship should no longer be stolen (except Powder Barrels)

• Attach-to-cart text…too consistent…now adjusted

• Testing fix for Player would not return to normal speed movement after packing heavy item (had to pick up and drop another object afterwards)
• Added physics padding around cart to reduce freak-outs
• Added beam colliders to Large Cart Canopy upgrade
• Attach-to-cart text more consistent

Patch 036.4

• Player could freeze if stopped for stealing or consuming shop items

• Items could um…fall through the ground…if dropped just right

• Harbor Master upper door would not open visually

• It could rain inside Rakesfelm Castle

• Made Interaction area on Large Cart brakes larger

• Updated Mushroom Destruction

• Cart wheels could stop rolling after purchase
• Slightly Adjusted Wagon and Wheel Prices

• Ghost Wheels could fall through terrain if let go under ground
• Hitting un-bought carts with objects could trigger theft

I always take a few days just to be on standby for Bugs that arise or are discovered after a merge, just let me know in Discord Bug Report (make sure to assign yourself a Role upon joining to gain access)

This has been covered in previous news, but the big highlights are:

Purchasable Wagons

Updated Player Stats with a new Strength and Stamina Stat and System

I'll of course list the full patch notes and bug fixes in: Steam Discussions Patch Notes and at the end of this post!

Quick Notes:

• Continuing a save from the prior version will result in invisible cart wheels. You can buy some from a Wagon Trader, or begin a new game. (Reminder of this is in the Main Menu Welcome Message)

• You may have to set your resolution again as I changed some of the detection to try and resolve an issue with the game minimizing on some players due to competing focus of the application.

Don't forget the next Community Appreciation Event will start soon!

The Near Future of A Merchant's Promise:

If you are a member of the Discord I posted about some of these things in Discord Update.

Overall, with thousands of new players I have been taking in Feedback, Reading Reviews, Refund Notes, Discord Feature Requests and Feedback, and having my general interaction with you.

With this I have set the next priorities of the game to the following:

Tutorial

• Update and Integrate into the Main Game and no longer a separate scene via Main Menu

Re-working the Game World (Map)

• Expand map to spread out scenery

• Increase performance

• Take into account Player Progression System (will be expanded upon)

• Create more room for Points of Interest

• Test allowing larger bodes of water for a possible version of ship transporting

Ways to make money

• Additional activities the player can do to earn money

• Quests/Contracts the player can complete

Foraging

• Update the variety and amount of foraging

The Great Balance

• Now that several of the systems have been proven, balancing the game's markets, prices, seasonal changes, damage rates etc will be rebalanced to reflect the game's intended and true difficulty

In Game Dictionary

• Update from its current proof of concept state to a legitimate usable source of game information for players

NPC's

• Update proof of concept dialogue to be more in depth and engaging to the player

End game travel

• Test Horses to determine final pace of gameplay

• Test a few travel options for allowed exploration

This is not the complete list, but it is the priority moving forward for the next little while!

As always, I'm in Discord if you need anything!

Thanks again and as always I'm in Discord if you need anything!

What an awesome week for the game it has been!

Once again I can't thank you guys enough for the support. It makes such a difference and I hope my last few Social Media posts showed my appreciation!

Okay enough of the sap....what have I been doing with my time?

Let's get into it. Beta Patch 036.

Firstly, there was a desire for player's to know where they were at in terms of their Merchant Status in grand scheme of things...and just having a number to look at didn't do it for them. So I've added a Progress Bar for that (perhaps not the final look) so you can get an idea:

You'll also notice a new Strength and Stamina stat as well. You will earn strength for pushing/pulling your cart around and carrying things:

Stamina system has also drastically changed and is much more dynamic:

NO MORE RUINING YOUR GAME BECAUSE YOUR 1 CART IS GONE!

Carts and an upgrade for each cart has been added as I continue to bolster and test the Cart Upgrade System. Wagon traders will have carts available to purchase anytime you want.

Oh...carts can also receive damage now....this will be adjusted and balanced!

Please see:

https://steamcommunity.com/app/2932960/discussions/2/595153155946221705/

Hey Everybody!

Couple life things popped up over the last couple weeks, but still managing to chip away at the next update!

This update will include 2 MORE WAGONS as well as sets of wheels for each type. This also means you will not have the same starting wagon...and possibly not one at all soon. I'm working to get a couple meaningful upgrades as well on each wagon. I'm excited to get feedback as this will be the core system moving forward to really sink some time into making excellent carts/wagons/and options.

I'm also testing introducing a Strength and Stamina stat that will increase as you naturally carry things, pull or push carts, and run. As the carts get heavier the larger they are, this will be a critical thing to test and balance.

Here is a quick list of the other things I have addressed as well:
