Description
About This Game
For any questions feel free to ask in Discord!
The Tutorial is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED even if having played the demo (now removed due to age) as there are differences.
A Merchant's Promise features No Inventory & Physics-based Inspired gameplay. You are in full control of the item you handle from the time you pick them up until you put them down...or throw them.
Your Merchant Status is everything and will determine how easily you can adjust your prices to make the most profit. There is also a Permanent Death option for those that like more risk.
Starting as a lowly Merchant you can eventually earn your way to a King's Merchant through trading as you experience:
Item Loss
Weather
Light survival elements (hunger, thirst, health, and stamina)
A Merchant's Promise will not micro-manage you:
A part of the fun is in the discovery of something new. Whether an area, shop, event, or even something as small as a road sign that helps you find your way!
That is the intention why A Merchant's Promise uses:
Limited Menus and UI's as possible...and still trying to be reduced.
No "Objectives" or "Tasks" will pop up telling you what to do and how to do it.
You must Explore, Talk, Read, and Interact with things to learn about the world you play in!
...did I mention the Main Game Tutorial is strongly encouraged?
Priorities of Continued EA Development:
The Game World - I am working hard to bring more elements of "life" and "depth" into the game as current features are also tested by those of you that play the Beta Version.
Consistent & Reliable gameplay - Physics games are quirky and a lot of adjustments are always being made
Performance - No one wants a 47GB game download that gets 12FPS.
Gets the bugs out - I handle these through the Discord Reporting (Link on Store Page or In Game) as soon as possible with a ticket system so you can stay up-to-date on your issue's progress.
Thank you for taking the time to visit and I look forward to providing you with a great product and fun challenge!
