Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Merchant Miles is built around reading markets, planning routes, and growing from a small-time trader into a respected merchant. Early Access lets me develop that journey alongside players: refining the economy, improving clarity, expanding towns and trade opportunities, and learning which decisions make each market day genuinely compelling. ”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect Merchant Miles to remain in Early Access for less than a year, though this may change depending on development progress and player feedback.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version is planned to expand the world with more towns, goods, routes, market events, rivals, staff, upgrades, contracts, and trading opportunities. We also plan to deepen the economy, progression systems, merchant skill tree, customer relationships, and long-term campaign structure.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version includes the core Merchant Miles gameplay loop: buying goods, planning routes, travelling between distinct towns, managing permits and expenses, and running a physical market stall for customers.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We plan to offer the game at a lower price during Early Access. The price may increase as more content and features are added and the game approaches its full release.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We plan to involve the community through Steam discussions, player feedback, surveys, and bug reports. Feedback will help us identify balance problems, improve usability, refine existing systems, and decide which areas of the trading experience need the most attention.”

About This Game

Merchant Miles is a travelling merchant game about buying low, selling high, and figuring out what each town needs before your rivals get there first.

Every morning, check prices, read the latest news, review new laws and decrees, and go over your contracts. You only have so many coins to spend, and your cart can only carry so much, so every purchase is a trade-off.

Prices vary from town to town. A glut of apples might make them dirt cheap in one place, while a shortage elsewhere sends their value soaring. New laws and decrees can reshape the market in response to your actions and events happening across the world. The challenge is working out what those changes mean for your business, and getting the right goods to the right town at the right time.

When you open your stall, customers start arriving. Set your prices, listen to what they’re looking for, and decide whether to accept their offers. Take a safe profit, hold out for a better deal, or push too far and watch the customer walk away.

At the end of the day, review your market report and decide where to go next. Follow a rumour, take on a contract, chase a shortage, or stick with a route that has already proven reliable.

Along the way, you’ll need to manage your coins, limited cargo space, travel costs, and reputation. A bad purchase can take up valuable space for days, losing freshness and becoming harder to sell. A smart trade, on the other hand, can open up an entirely new route.

There’s no single right way to build your business. Play it safe with dependable goods and steady profits, or risk everything on one big opportunity and hope the next town wants exactly what you’re carrying.
