| Content Update info & New game announcement | 2020-11-30 | Hello Merchants! Today I wanted to give some info on upcoming patch update and announce our next game! First, patch details: The patch is coming out on Dec 18, 2020. The main feature is going to be production limits: you will now be able to set how many items (tops) can be produced by separate buildings on every one of your islands. That will make the caravan system much more reliable and predictable. For example, you will be able to set bread production to 20 and limit flour production to 20, then caravan will be able to wait for 20 flour and there won’t be a chance that your flour production overflows the storage and the bread won’t be able |
| Merchant of the Skies is a part of Tiny Teams festival! | 2020-08-09 | Those of you who followed Merchant of the Skies from the beginning know that the core of the game has been mostly made by 2 people. Modern day technologies made game creation very accessible, but it does not mean that it's an easy job. Thanks to your support, we've managed to bring this project to full release. A few weeks ago, Yogscast announced a festival to highlight games made by smaller teams. We are happy to announce that Merchant of the Skies is part of the selection. During the festival, you'll be able to discover different, but ambitious, games that were made by small teams just like ours. To celebrate this, Merchant is going to be o |

| Merchant of the Skies content update and console launch on July 30! | 2020-07-15 | Hello Merchants! We wanted to announce two big things today 1) Merchant of the Skies is getting a content update. 2) Merchant of the Skies is coming to Nintendo Switch™ and Microsoft Xbox. Both of these go live on July 30. As you may know, I have hinted on working on console ports for some time. Today this all becomes official. The update is going to feature a creature that we wanted to add. Speaking from the gameplay perspective, it’s not a huge addition and rather a story gimmick which makes campaign a bit richer. You won't need to start a new game to find this creature. We are also going to add a bunch of quality of life adjustments, more |

| Merchant of the Skies - 1.6.4 - Caravans | 2020-05-01 | Hey Merchants! Thanks for playing the game and for submitting your feedback! It has became clear that caravan system is not sufficiently good enough for some of you, and I wanted to fix that. Caravan System enhancements: 1) Can look at ship inventory from caravan navigation menu 2) 4 new caravan actions 3) Caravan action limit increased to 15 (from 6). Go crazy, but not too crazy. The new actions offer a bit more depth to caravan system planning. I think this screenshot summarizes it well: You can now order caravan to buy items (and wait for this) until it has the specified item amount in the storage Same goes for loading. Just wait for any p |
| Merchant of the Skies - 1.6.3 - sound fixes | 2020-04-23 | Hey Merchants! Thanks for your support and bugreports so far. I wanted to push an update that deals with some of the sound/music issues, as well as typos. Changelog: Adjustments Reduced barrel size in UI by 2x to prevent it taking too much space on screen Fretta fuel consumption per second increased to 1 from 0.1, max fuel to 1000. It is still intended to be a ship for idling on the map, just hopefully won't be as OP as fuel will be quite expensive to maintain. Old ships will stay the way they used to be, but new purchases will be adjusted. Thanks to everyone who reported it. Translation adjustments Bugfixes * various typo fixes (thanks to ev |

| Merchant of the Skies - 1.6.1 - bank adjustments & turtle hotfix | 2020-04-19 | Hey Merchants! Thanks for your support during the game launch, it means a lot to both me and Helen. Over these two days, some issues that were not noticeable as much during early access became more clear. One of them is how the bankrupcy works and overall need of more guidance on that matter. This hotfix tries to make it more clear. Bank adjustments Here's how the bankrupcy process worked (and still works): first time you run out of money, you get a message telling you about it and asks to repay that sum, otherwise you lose the game. If the money have not been repaid to the bank and you lose again, the game is lost permanently. If you keep re |
