Чому дочасний доступ?

«The game concept for A Merchant's Promise is centered around finding, buying, and selling goods/items in order to survive and increase your Merchant Status. However they still need expanding upon along with incorporating more cities, game items, transportation types, upgrades, animations, map adjustments and gameplay balancing which are a continuing process. As a Developer my core vision and goals for the game are progressing at what I believe to be a healthy pace, but I also have a responsibility to my customers. By opening up to early access I get the opportunity to see others enjoying the game while also receiving feedback to help further develop and ensure the best gameplay possible for A Merchant's Promise!»

Чим повна версія гри буде відрізнятися від версії для дочасного доступу?

«There is still much to be added to fully complete the overall atmosphere, scope, and desired detail of gameplay. Some of these things include: Implementing more NPC world actions to immerse the player (player being arrested, fined, pardoned etc), additional Cites and Villages, routes, items, transportation, upgrades, NPCs and their interactions/roles, World Events, and player house options. Along with these things I always strive to improve game performance or at least options to help improve playability for different computer specs.»

Players can choose to sell items direct to other traders, or rent a trade stall to sell to traveling customers for higher profits.»
