Cool concept, but I could barely play it.
Clicking on the number didn't work when I was trying to sell something. So the guy would just leave. I dunno if having a time limit on the tutorial was a good idea. I guess if he came back afterwards in a finished version it would be fine.
I liked the forge mashing. I made a bomb.
Yeah that was my bad. If you still wanna see what the game is like just kick out the tutorial guy as soon as the game starts.
I don't know how you managed to make such a game, it's so much, from delivering to bargaining, and even crafting, this is one amazing game, honestly it took me a couple of retries to get it how everything works... maybe you should have put a tutorial to actually sell something to the guy(he does show up later though...), and then explain delivery and so on... anyways I love how diverse characthers are; one characther is just so picky and constantly yells this is horrendous, and there's another who will buy a feather for 50 gold xD, but overall a really great looking game, and I sold someone a book thinking it was some kind of "brown box", doesn't potray a book really well :| but other than that this game is fantasic...
kudos to you guys, this is a really good game!
I was so pleased that there was a decent tutorial until the guy suddenly left without telling me wth i was supposed to do
Yeah that was my bad. If you still wanna see what the game is like just kick out the tutorial guy as soon as the game starts.
I loved the idea, loved the graphics and also glad to see a GameMaker brother doing such cool stuff, I think I got stuck although I understood everything in the game.
I send the horses get me items, I signed to get them ( that part is so cool by the way ) , I could put the item on the first tab and select the price but I couldn't sell it and I had no one coming to buy from me, is it normal? did I miss something?
Edite: I finally managed to make it work, all I had to do was kick the first tutorial guy before he finishes talking, sorry for the first comment, its all working fine and its aweosome ;D
Sounds like great idea, got a nice art. But somehow I can't understand what to do.
Where did you get stuck at?
I think this was potentially an amazing game, but I haven't got a clue what I was doing. I really enjoyed messing around though.
I think that this game is pretty neat, I just wish the tutorial guy wouldn't leave before you can learn what's going on
I am slightly confused about how to actually "sell" an item. Still, I really like the inventory system, and the chat is very interactive.
You select the first of the 3 tabs at the top of the screen. Then drag the item you want to sell to the box. Use the arrows to choose the price and click on the number itself to try to sell the item.
