Hello everyone! It's been a while since our last update, and we've added quite a bit this time.

New features

Minimap navigator

• We’ve moved the map from the left of the main window to the left.
• To facilitate navigating between your map for travel, and your shelves for item organization, we’ve added a minimap navigator at the top of the screen.
• The navigator shows up during downtime, and between days (before you lock into a location to start selling).
• The navigator can be used to quickly pan from the 3 focal points inside the caravan:
  • Map (travel)
  • Window (customer and shopkeeper interaction)
  • Inventory (shelves and storage)

Display shelves and customer direct buy

• The form and function of the item shelves have changed since our last public build!
• Customers might directly buy items you’ve displayed on your display shelves, instead of asking for suggestions from you.
  • Some customers will still ask for player suggestions.
• The display shelves are limited to 7 slots, so some strategy is required to make the most out of the items you choose to display!

Storage shelves

• We’ve added a separate storage to the right of the display shelves.
• Overflow of items will automatically be added to the storage.
• Items can be dragged and dropped from the storage to the display shelves during downtime and between days.

Selling unwanted wares to shopkeepers

• Players can now sell unwanted wares back to shopkeepers at a 70% discount
• Sometimes you just want to free up space, or maybe that anime school skirt haunts you in your day to day…. Just sell it back!

• The price listed at the bottom indicates who owes what, after calculating the difference in what the player buys and what the player sells. In this case, the player pays Tama 389 dollars.

Memorabilia

• Finishing Grig’s storyline will impart the player with a memorabilia.
• Memorabilia are awarded for achievements.
• There are currently 3 total memorabilia the player can collect while playing Caravan:
  • 2 for finishing Grig’s storyline (1 from each story path)
  • 1 for playing til day 10

Quality of life updates

• Downtime
  • After every few customers in a day, there’ll be an opportunity for the player to readjust their inventory. Players can use this opportunity to move items between their display shelves and their storage.
• Context-sensitive cursors
  • We have custom cursors now!
  • The cursor will change depending on the context, to help players better understand what they can do:
    • “Call”
    • “Copy”
    • “Talk”
• Updated Culebre’s art asset.
  
• Streamlined tutorial and character dialogues.
• Various other bug fixes.

We've also created a new survey: https://forms.office.com/r/faLNUD3h9N. Your feedback will help us immensely when developing the game!

As always, thank you for playing Caravan!
