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 trading game about buying low, selling high, and trying to work out what a town will want before everyone else does.

Each morning, check the market, read the latest news, listen for rumours and look over your contracts. You only have so many coins to spend, and your cart can only carry so much, so every purchase matters.

Goods are priced differently in every town. A surplus of apples might make them cheap in one place, while a shortage somewhere else could make them worth a lot more. The difficult part is getting there with the right goods still in your cart.

When you open your stall, customers come to you. Set your prices, listen to what they’re looking for and decide whether to accept their offers. You can take a reliable profit, hold out for more or watch the customer walk away.

At the end of the day, check your market report and keep track of what you’ve learned. Then choose where to travel next. Follow a rumour, take a contract, chase a shortage or stick with a route you know works.

You’ll have to manage your coins, cargo space, travel costs and reputation as you go. A bad purchase can sit in your cart for days, while a smart one can open up an entirely new route.

There’s no single best way to play. Build a dependable business with familiar goods, or bet everything on one risky deal and hope the next town is desperate for what you’re carrying.
