Can you tame the wilderness and become a Merchant Legend?!
I have been gaming since I was a kid in the 90’s. I’ve always loved games that let me build my own little empire within an explorable world. Many classic role playing games had little moments where you could restore a town, help run a business or manage a Kingdom. Those parts were always my favourite! So, Merchant Legends is my role playing game in the graphical style of classic Game Boy adventures, but with an economic town-building twist. It is my first game on Steam, I put my passion and love into it and I hope you enjoy it! This project has taken me over 6 years to make and I have learnt a lot about Game Boy pixel art, development, game design and game systems. Thank you for taking a look.
My favourite games include things like Stardew Valley, Morrowind, Transport Tycoon, Factorio, Final Fantasy, Pokemon, Civlization and Anno. You may recognise some influences from those games in Merchant Legends.
