I don't have a specific date yet, I'm still adding new stuff to the game all the time and doing lots of balance passes to the existing stuff.

I'll be sure to show all updates here, as well as on Steam. Feel free to join the Discord if you want to be kept up to date about new features, or if you want to make suggestions yourself.

Done! Will be uploaded with the next build later this week. I also put a link to your page on the Youtube trailer, as the trailer also uses about 30 seconds of your music.

Thanks!

I'm rolling out an update to the demo later this week which will have a Credits screen added. If it's okay, I'd like to put you in the credits as well. I can credit you by name, or website,... Let me know how you prefer it!

Thanks for these portraits! I've bought this one and other packs and are used in:

Great tracks, I've bought both volumes for background music for this game:

Thanks for making these!

Yes, the game is 100% turn-based and the player needs to travel around to advance the week. The main point of this is so you are incentivized to look out for other ways to earn income or find activities to spend your time on. 

If not, then the game would have more in common with an idler instead. 

Don't forget you can buy more mining drones as well on the planet Structor, which you also need to travel for.

In your example, you would mine, then head out somewhere else to look for a different activity and then if you want, you can return for more mining. Or pick up some passengers for extra income, or whatever else that might seem interesting to do.

One of the features that didn't quite make it yet of the drawing board, was a way to advance the time while you're in your home, if you own a home. 

Thanks for the feedback! New features are added all the time and existing ones are always being refined.

I just released the demo of Starport Merchants on Itch, I've been working on this game for a couple of years now.

The game is heavily inspired by games that were popular in the 90's, such as Gazillionaire/Dope Wars, and a bunch of other games I used to play.

It's a space trading tycoon where you travel from planet to planet to trade, mine, invest, build and lots of other things.

The demo is playable via browser:

Thanks for giving it a shot, feedback is greatly appreciated!

Thanks for the controller support!

As mentioned in my feedback on Discord, this is a really beautiful and well-made game. More importantly, it's also a lot of fun.

I'll keep playing the game, and can't wait to see how it evolves.

They are very rare. You are lucky to have spotted one!

I am your family 

This is absolutely a perfect Dope Wars game! It does everything right, a lot of people don't 'get' what this game should be about but this is it. It keeps the same addicting gameplay loop as it's supposed to have, without a bunch of random fluff added to it.

I do like the short CYOA type of gameplay added in with the Castle, it provides some variation without distracting from that solid core gameplay loop. The Soothsayer is also a lot of fun.

It's also not easy, as it should be. The RNG feels the same as I'm used to, this is another thing a lot of clones get wrong. Looks like you studied/played the original one to keep this same vibe.

The Beastiary is a nice detail. Great job in keeping track of the average price bought.

The UI is clean and minimalistic as it should be. Love the ambient soundtrack and sfx.

I hope it still has the lid though

That is a good-looking jar, how much are you selling it for?

Ah, too bad. I think this game was made in Java 8, which has become a bit old at this time.  You should be able to play this on Java 8, but maybe it's not really worth it to install that version on your pc. 

Thanks for reporting this, but I'm afraid I'm not able to update this game anymore due to some technical issues.

I'm glad you enjoy the game and thanks for playing!

At this time, there is sadly no downloadable version planned. But there is still the Android version Space Trader - Apps on Google Play.

Very cool! These are great. I also used your Cyberpunk background for Agents of C by Peanut Panda (itch.io) (I wasn't able to comment on the Cyberpunk page)

Great entry! Love the art, good eye for details. Excellent choice of music and sfx and well done on the gameplay as well!

Hurray, I won! Such a pleasant game, until it becomes dark. I love the setting, great job!

Also big thanks for implementing customizable controls and thinking about those azerty users like myself!

Thanks for playing! I'll post this here in case other people get stuck on this puzzle.
As you already found out, the game tells you where to look for a clue after getting it wrong a couple of times. If you find the clue, then the last line of the message will give you a big hint.

It's business time

Very nice, but keep in mind that only libgdx can be used for this libgdx jam. A Unity game will be disqualified.

Thanks!

Expertly written! I was at the edge of my seat the whole time, very exciting and quite the ending! Funny too.

Are those store-bought tomatoes?

Very cool, this was fun. Runs very smoothly and has good-looking art too.

:D
Thanks for playing!

In the meantime, with the blessing by jam host Beregon, following server has been created for this jam :

Thanks! Here's the link : https://discord.gg/MEwx4QHeTW

Would you mind if I create a temporary Discord server for this jam where people can talk about it, find teams etc ... ?

A Discord server would be cool. If it's okay with the jam host @bergeron and everyone else I don't mind setting up a temporary server where everyone can get together to talk about the jam, coordinate teamwork etc ... ?

I did it! Very nice puzzles, great art style!

Thanks for playing, Groxar. I'm happy to hear you enjoyed it!

Thank you, John! Your feedback is much appreciated as always.

This is a very well made game. It runs very smooth on html. I love the lighting and art! Great use of the theme, well done!

Very well made, a perfect jam game. Great controls, love those sfx too.

Very nice runner-type of game, very good art and music!

Great job, especially for a first time programmer! Very hard game, I couldn't defeat the boss sadly as he was too fast for me. Also, great art by Raeleus.
