Many a quest has lead to either triumph or failure because of shoddy equipment. Adventurers, Soldiers, Heroes, come to the Last Stop Weapon Shop where we have the equipment you need.
In Dungeons & Margins VII: Financial Fantasy, you play as the Merchant of the Last Stop Weapon Shop. You will deal with Heroes and thieves, friars and tax collectors. The goal is to make it big, expand your business coverage and maybe even get featured on the cover of Rogue Magazine.
Prepare Heroes for their journey or sell them scrap and take their money, it's all about what you the Merchant decides.
Created by Matt Pace and Andy Donato.
Instructions: Use the keyboard (arrows, WASD, or numpad) to select menu items. Scroll through inventory items with up/down. Buy and sell to maximize profits.
Developer note Previously mentioned bugs are fixed. The game should run fine now. Please note we never got around to implementing an end-game, so it runs forever currently.
I plan on updating this in the future, with a possible iOS/Android port. Check www.matthewdpace.com for updates, and thank you :)
Instructions have been posted, but I humbly recommend/request you wait until Wednesday to try the game so that I can undo the undoing I did when I rolled back a git commit that not only had bug fixes, but over-zealous refactoring as well.
Really neat idea. It was fun till I think I found a bug where I could keep selling an item over and over. But overall nice work. Can't wait to see where this goes.
Game feels like it has a lot of potential! I discovered a bug that if you buy/sell too fast the game crashes. Nice with the customer interaction detail. Thanks for the game and Merry Christmas!
I like the idea of this game but it needs a few improvements I would say. I was rich just buying everything without negotiate and selling to the first person that wanted it. BTW The only good elf is the dead elf :)
Totally awesome idea and the humor is cool! Just too damn buggy, but I won't give you any stars less for it, I'm sure you're going to fix most bugs. And I played mostly for the jokes anyways. That one with Ganon and the internet was awesome, I never heard that before! xD
I forgot to post in here (to identify which comments came after), but there has been an update released. I'll be continuing development, but I'll separate any versions that implement new features (there were many planned) so that we can be ranked on our actual Jam time limit output.
Hi everyone, I'm the Andy Donato involved. I did the artwork and helped with some of the ideas. This was my first time working on a game for Ludum Dare and I really enjoyed the entire experience. It was also my first time really using MS paint and I feel like I learned a lot just over the weekend. Thanks for all the support for Matt and my game, I definitely am planning on returning next contest.
I like the jokes they tell you when you try to negotiate too much. sometimes the joke and the item name you were negotiating for go together well and it gives a stronger personality to the customer and makes it even funnier. I was robbing these guys blind, buying things for 0 gold, haha. The graphics were simply colored, but the line art was good, and despite just being a picture, the perspective with the weapons on the sides helped establish the feeling of being in a place trading. Great item suffixes/prefixes.
Haha, I think I just bought an "excellent mithril helment" from a guy for 2 Gold and then the same guy offers me a "average bronze crossbow" for 27 gold :D
It'd be nice if I could see all items the hero wants to sell on one screen (list?) or at least multiple ones at once, with the current one selected and up/down keys scrolling up and down the list. It took me a while to figure out it was all part of the same exchange.
Other than that - love the idea, and like the jokes hidden in there!
Cool idea! Feels like the "buy" and "sell" phases should be interleaved a bit more smoothly. I like the idea of maintaining stock and keeping customers happy. Good job!
Cool concept, I liked the idea of balancing buying and selling with keeping on your customers good side. Some sound would've been nice. Fun game, nicely done :)

If you can get it running or release a downloadable version, I'll definitely give it a try!

Te .love was tested on both linux and windows, using Loce2D v 0.9.1. What version are you on?
