Time to announce our first Barn Finders DLC to ya'll. So, right, welcome to "Amerykan Dream". Get your stuff together and let's go.
We will take you on a scenic road trip through your beloved Ameryka to visit new locations, based on some historic barns found in Ozark. Like Ozark in Arkansas, not in the Netflix series. Never heard of it? Well, don't worry, you have all time in the world to learn.
As we assume, all of you love the new opportunities to gather new tras... ekhm, items, deliver some new job items and participate in exciting auctions. So, well, yeah, brand new Bid Wars! Who doesn’t like some fresh-baked-out-of-the -owen Bid Wars? We love it too!
But you know, what we love even more? To customize your pawnshop even more! Yes, yes, there will be a lot of new stuff to do with your pawnshop. You are as excited as we are, we know, chill out guys. We also got tired of those old wooden walls, darn it! So go on and put some more fancy-schmancy wallpapers in the room, tiger!
So, like, it’s all here, ready for everyone that wants to come back to Ameryka and explore some more. Well, you have to wait a little, but it will be awesome, we can tell you that.
Get ready to dream with us your own Amerykan Dream!
We would like to introduce you to the newest update to the Barn Finders, which except many bug fixes contains also two new mechanics - Chicken Sonar and Clients selling items.
Chicken Sonar
If you ever had a problem with finding the last one item on the map (who the hell hid them there, right?) - this is a tool for you. Just press and hold button and then release, and the Sonar will inform you if there is any item in your area. As simple as that. You still have to look for it, but it sure makes it a lot easier. And this is what M.I.K.K.O. is aiming for - making things easier! And at a reasonable, but noticeable price! It should work!
Clients selling items
Right outside your pawnshop we put a small little stand. From now on, from time to time, some of the Clients will go there and offer you an item they want to get rid of. You can haggle to get an even better price, before you sell it in your own shop! Just remember - stands open after you finish Aunt’s Marry map - after that it’s all yours to profit from!
But this is not all of the stuff we are working on here, if you look closely on the pawnshop map, you will find a teaser of something else we are currently working on. Stay tuned!
You can also find fixes for some of the bugs:
-Language in profile menu is now forced to the one that's currently set in Windows -Cemetery statue rotating parts fixed -Black hole in Bid Wars 3 fixed -Added safety zones under each map to prevent falling out of the level -Crash Zone elevator fixed (falling out of elevator, disappearing buttons) -Random particle spawn when clients visits the Pawnshop fixed -Silver Barn auction fixed -Clients despawning delay removed -Remapping controls is now working correctly -Bug that caused disappearing tools in Bid Wars fixed -Crash Zone switches bug fixed -Invisible clients should not appear in Pawnshop -Billy is now able to correctly open the wicket in Knuckles Barn

Duality Games is a Warsaw based studio founded two years ago by Tomasz Strzałkowski. We're a small team of developers who are all specialists in their fields and are very passionate about what they do. For all of them making games is doing what they love.
Our design vision is clear and very focused. From the start we were working with clear goals and ideas about the look and feel of the gameplay and game itself . Nevertheless, we are very open to discussion and feedback, believing in core of our design philosophy, but remembering that game development is about making a great game, not being right.
Barn Finders is the first game we released. We put a lot of heart and effort into it. Right now you have a chance to evaluate the outcome of our work. We highly encourage you to check out our demo. It contains the main mechanics of the game, the story prologue and a good amount of humour have become the hallmarks of the entire game.
The demo contains:
two maps: The Red Barn and Bridge Storage
managing a pawn shop: buying and selling, cleaning and fixing chosen items, assembling items broken into parts
auctions
others - collectibles, a basketball mini-game
The length of the playthrough depends on the player. You can come back to each location, search it again and sell items in the store. It can take 2 hours for some players and even 10 for others.
Alright folks, it's been two days since we released Barn Finders, and thanks to you both of them were amazing. Thanks for the warm welcome and your kind words.
Anyway, with your help we've managed to find a couple of bugs and issues that we're currently hard at work to fix. The patch should be rolling our real soon, and here's what you can expect from it:
Achievements fixed to tests: Drink from all Delirium Moonshine Bottles,Clean 3 Shirley Love dolls,Scare the thief away, Go to a toilet five times in a row, You had $5000 in your wallet, You won a M.I.K.K.O's Bid Wars Special Event, You had $10000 in your wallet.
