Hello and welcome to all Great Dealers!



Today we are proud to announce the release of the new Update #5! :dlgift:

Here are the release notes for this update:

• New Item Pack #2: 13 brand new regional items to thank the countries that showed the most love for DL2! With our deepest thanks to all Chinese, Turkish and German players!
  
• New Avatar Pack #2: two new Avatars to impersonate! We also improved the order in which all Avatars are shown when you start a new game.
  
• Windowed mode: you asked for it and we delivered! You can now set the game in windowed mode and choose the resolution.
  
• Improved: Colorblind friendly Newspaper Circles colors
  
• Improved: Daily tip on employee weekly costs can be misleading. This text is now improved to include end of week wages.
  
• Fixed: Coin items with category "Apparel". Now these are correctly assigned to the "Home" category.
  
• Fixed: Italian customer sentence
  

If you don't see the update in your Steam "Download" section, try restarting Steam and it will do the trick!

These launch days have been very frantic but we are so happy to see how much you liked our new game, how many ideas and suggestion you gave us on Dealer's Life Discord Server and how many kind words you have spent for us!
Please remember that this is an Early Access launch, if you followed us with DL1 you already know how much we work on our games in order to improve them, to add new content and to develop your requests! :dlgift: And this is the second update in less than a week, so we hope that this shows how much we care!
Speaking about our next tasks, in January we'll publish our Roadmap to show our plans in an handy image that recaps everything and you'll see how many tasks we have in mind.
For now we can tell what we already started working on: New Item Pack #3, New Customer Pack #1, Avatar Pack #3 and more in-game currencies! :dlgift:

For now, we want to express our sincere gratitude and our best wishes for these holidays, please stay safe and try to take a break from everything, as this very particular 2020 surely had an impact. For these reasons, starting from the 24th till the start of the new year we'll take a small break to recharge our batteries but you can be sure we'll be back working at full speed and with all our hearts and minds in no time!
If you have any particular or urgent question, or if you just want to chat with us, our Dealer's Life Discord Server is always the best way of reaching us, we are both gamers so we'll surely spend some hours with our friends playing online. But please remember that this will be a break for us, so our presence will be limited.

That's all for today, we hope you like this update, let us know what you think in the comments. And if you like the game, please consider writing a review, these can help a lot in spreading the word about Dealer's Life 2!

Welcome to all Great Dealers around the world! ːdldollarː

It is a great pleasure and honor for us to announce that we just released Dealer's Life 2 in Early Access!



If you own Dealer's Life 1 there is a bundle available to get an additional 10% off! 🤯

We worked very hard for months, with days and nights spent to design and code all the new features and improvements! For all the new players, here's a recap on what are Dealer's Life 2 main features:

• The most technically advanced negotiation engine you’ve ever seen
• A myriad of items to buy and sell with fake and counterfeit items to avoid (or exploit!)
  
• Infinite customers to haggle with, each with their own personality and appearance
  
• Hire employees to help you with your job: search for the best experts, restorers, profilers, analysts, clerks and many others.
  
• Auctions! For times when you crave a little bit of extra adrenaline... aaand SOLD!
  
• Lots of humour and quotes from cult movies and videogames
  

And, for all the players that already know us, here's a recap on Dealer's Life 2's main features:

• Graphics! The new style is so amazing that you'll want to have a wallpaper for your desktop! Spoiler Alert: there are 6 of them in our "Support the dev" DLC!
  
• New Encounters! We started by removing all the old random events, we rewrote from scratch a lot of new encounters which means that now everything has choices! Of course even more encounters will be developed during Early Access, for example Plot encounters that will help you immerse into the world of Dealer's Life 2 and Quest encounters.
  
• Auctions! We improved Buying and Storage auctions and we took Selling Auctions to a whole new level with the possibility of watching the Auction in real-time!
  
• Pawner customer! Being a pawn shop, you can now accept pawned items and provide pawn loans! Will the customer pay back your loan to get his/her item back? Or will the pawn ticket expire and make you the new owner of the item?
  
• The Bouncer employee! He's a though guy and he'll help you keep customers calm and patient. He will also help you in resolving a lot of pesky encounters.
  
• 10 Avatars to choose from, new shops to rent and much more!
  

Here's a "before and after" GIF to remind you how much the graphic quality has been improved! ːdlgiftː



We hope you are as excited as we are, let us know what you think in the comments or on Dealer's Life Discord Server! ːsteamhappyː
And don't forget to write a review if you like the game! ːdlgiftː
