Hey Merchants! As September 12 draws near, here's what the upcoming update entails. First of all, the long anticipated caravan/automation system. As we developed Merchant of the Skies, I always thought that it's going to be quite a late addition into the game, but since so many of you have been asking for it - we've decided to give it a go now :) Here's a brief look on how it is going to look:
Still work in progress, but you can see how it works The patch is going to introduce a new building, caravan office.
As soon as it is built, the new ships you purchase can be stored in it and used to haul cargo.
You'll be able to plot routes to trade posts and back to your base. You can buy, sell, load and unload goods into your caravans, enabling basic resource trade and transportation between different islands.
With that, we're adding a new goal / game mode, "Supply the inns." A new building, inn, is randomly introduced in some islands. It consumes bread and apple juice daily. You need to make sure all of the inns receive their supplies and keep feeding their customers (you also get paid for that!).
We're also working on bringing French and German localisations into the game, will let you know once they go live. Apart from that, I wanted to thank you for the amazing feedback we've been receiving. The new feature will increase the depth of the game, so we feel this is right to increase the asking price a bit. The new price is going to be 9.99 EUR or regional equivalent. It will be in effect on Sep 12.
