Dealer's Life Legend Update #8 Is Out Now!

[p]Greetings Dealers! Today is a big day for your business opportunities![/p]
Dealer's Life Legends Update #8 Is Out Now!
[p]Enjoy the new features coming with version 0.801! They’ll enrich not only your negotiating experience but will also test your abilities! That's right, we have added a local leaderboard and game scoring to assess your skills throughout your quest to become the richest dealer in the Kingdom!

[/p][p]Read the full update notes here:[/p][p][/p][p]💎 Improved controller support: We added more buttons to manage the diary (LT) and city details (RT) from any UI that shows them. The old buttons (back and start) are still working and can still be used, but from now on, the UI showing the keybind shortcuts will only show RT and LT.[/p][p]* Auto save after events, to avoid cheating by reloading the game after a bad event or a bad choice taken[/p][p]* Game scoring and leaderboard: At the end of every game, just after the ending animation, a score will be assigned and recorded on a local leaderboard. Game score is influenced by the player's total assets value (the more the better), how many days it took to meet the Emperor (the less the better), and the difficulty chosen (harder difficulties will grant different magnitude orders of score)[/p][p]💎 Hirable Companions boost: With this update, we will grant 1 more Companion slot to every caravan's living quarters upgrade. From now on, every new game will still start with 1 available Companion slot, but the first upgrade will grant 2 more, and the maximum number of slots reachable in the game will be 6. If a player is in the middle of a game and he has already bought a living quarter update, one more companion slot will be granted for free[/p][p]💎 Item zoom pop-up: We added the ability to see a bigger image of the buying/selling item during any negotiation (by selecting the smaller item's image in the trade details UI) and in the item inventory section of the diary (by selecting the new dedicated button in the item’s details section)[/p][p]💎 Prestige balance for negotiations: Previously, it was only possible to gain +1 Prestige (if the customer never became angry) or no Prestige (if the customer became angry at least once). From now on, the player will be able to win or lose different amounts of Prestige, depending on their level of compliance with the customer. If the customer gets angry, it won't be good for business![/p][p]💎 Various little QoL interventions, including some more colored text to add detail and visibility, and a counter in Item Catalogue showing the amount of unlocked items and total items present in the game."[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]While these changes may seem smaller compared to the usual, this time we decided to focus on the foundation of what is going to be included in our next update, which will be one of the biggest in Dealer’s Life Legends' history!
Your feedback will come in clutch to let the team know how to tweak further features to provide you with a fresh experience with the next patch, coming very soon![/p][p]

Dealer’s Life Legend Update #07 - New Character visual details!

Hello, Merchants!

We’re very excited to announce the release of Update #07!

Pecunia is evolving! There are lots of new faces in the streets… and some familiar ones are looking a bit different. New hairstyles, new beard styles… has anyone else noticed a sudden rise in barber shops?

Jokes aside, here’s a complete list of the features that you’ll find in this update, which is out today!

💎 Community Feedback: We highlight improvements that are based on community feedback or suggestions. We look forward to your feedback in our Steam Community Hub or Discord server.

[h3]New Features[/h3]
  • 💎Character Pack #2: we have introduced 36 new faces, 36 new hairstyles (each with 4 color variants), and 21 new beards (also in 4 color variants). With all these additions, you’ll meet a much wider variety of characters and you’ll also be able to customize your own character like never before!
  • 💎Difficulty Levels: when you start a new game, you can now choose between Easy, Normal and Hard modes to tailor the game to your preferred challenge level.

[h3]Quality of Life[/h3]
  • 💎Companions Skills balance: we’ve made significant improvements during generation and progression of Companion Skills. From now on, all Companions of the same level will always have the same number of Skills, while Mercenaries will consistently have one extra Skill compared to others. Because of this, now a Companion will automatically gain a new Skill when leveling up. If you have a game in progress, these improvements will take effect starting from the next Companion generation in the Tavern.

[h3]Fixes[/h3]
  • Allegiance balance in Town Events: if you knowingly acquire a cursed item during a Town Event, your Allegiance will now be affected accordingly.
  • Prestige balance in Travel Events: we’ve increased the Prestige penalty for making evil choices during Travel Events. These actions now have a greater impact on your starting Prestige in the next settlement.
  • Save game animation: we fixed an issue where the save animation would not display properly in certain situations.
  • Other minor fixes and improvements.

In addition to this, we’re delighted to announce that our official Dealer’s Life Legend Avatars are now available on Steam. We really hope you’ll like them and we look forward to seeing them in your profiles!



That’s all for today’s update! Here’s the updated version of our Roadmap, we’re not that far from completing it! 🎉


While releasing this update, we’ve also been hard at work behind the scenes on some other big features like the Exchange Hall, Achievements and new localizations, and we’re making great progress! So stay tuned, there will soon be more news!
Talking about achievements, at one point they will show up in the coming weeks but you will not be able to unlock them yet. For testing purposes we unfortunately have to make them public before releasing them. So please keep that in mind when people start asking about why the achievements are not working in the Steam forums. 😅

As always, if you like the game, please consider writing a review, these can help a lot in spreading the word about Dealer's Life Legend!

  • 💎Town Events: we introduced nearly 60 new events that can happen while you’re in town! Just like travel events, town events come with new challenges, exciting opportunities and consequences. Make every decision count!
  • 💎Overview section in Bank: we made some changes in this building by replacing the “Work In Progress” tab dedicated to investments with the Overview tab, a new section where you can check all your assets and incoming expenses in a single place! What about investments, you ask? Well, we decided that the investment mechanic is too big to be relegated to a mere Bank section, that’s why we added the…
  • Exchange Hall: if you start a new game you’ll now notice a brand new building (currently closed by the Work In Progress icon) where you will soon be able to manage your investments (or should we say stock trades? 🤑)! Stay tuned for more details soon!
  • Item Pack: we added 126 new items to the list, from scepters to warhammers and chain mails! We’re now officially at 1000+ total items! 🎉

[h3]Quality of Life[/h3]
  • Gold and Prestige animations: we added some new nice animations to make Gold and Prestige value changes more visible and clear.

[h3]Fixes[/h3]
  • 💎 Auctions and Arena fights now save the game: we added a save point right after every completed Auction and Arena fight.
  • Game Seed: we fixed some issues related to the random seed logic not working correctly.
  • Other minor fixes and improvements.

That’s all for today’s update! It’s been another quite big update, we’re moving full speed ahead on our roadmap!

Dealer’s Life Legend Update #05 - Time to Fight for Trophies!

Hello, Merchants!

We’re thrilled to announce the release of Update #05, quite a big update! 🎉

All Arenas in the Empire are now opening their doors! Crowds are gathering from across the land to witness the thrill of epic gladiator combat! What are you waiting for? Come join the (fight) club!


Here’s a complete list of the features that you’ll find in this update, which is out today!

[h3]New Features[/h3]
  • Arena: another brand-new building opens its doors! In the Arena you’ll be able to watch thrilling fights and guess the winner, or even send your own Companions into battle! In any case, glory and great prizes await!
  • Trophy Hall: located in the same “Extra” submenu of the Item Catalogue, the Trophy Hall is the place to relive the very best items you’ve encountered across all your games! From the most expensive items bought to the most profitable ones sold, every step of your personal Legend will be displayed here!
  • Item Pack: this update’s item pack contains 126 new items, including spellbooks, rare antiques, and gorgeous paintings! We’re now very close to 1000 total items!
  • Customer Name Pack: we added 150 new male names, 150 new female names and 150 new surnames to increase even more the variation of the generated names. All these new names and surnames will mix together with the old ones and create thousands of new and funny combinations!

[h3]Quality Of Life[/h3]
  • Damage & Heal animations: we added nice animations to make damage and healing effects more visible and clear.

[h3]Fixes[/h3]
  • Item generation: we fixed a very sneaky bug in the early game Item generation that could lead to easy profit through very valuable Items on Auction. Now the Items on Auction are generated with the correct progression.
  • Intelligence balance: we slightly improved the Item estimation logic for more accurate evaluations based on Intelligence.
  • Prestige in Carpentry: Prestige now increases accordingly when upgrading multiple Caravan elements at once.
  • Controller navigation: Fixed a minor bug affecting controller navigation during negotiations.
  • Event effects: fixed some effects on Items that are now applied only on the correct available Items. (More event-related news coming soon... 😏)
  • Other minor fixes and improvements.


Also, in case you missed the news, we’d like to remind you that Dealer’s Life Legend has recently been approved for Steam Deck! If you have the possibility, we highly recommend trying the game there, we think it fits perfectly on a portable console! ❤️

That’s all for today’s update! We’re making great progress and we hope you’re enjoying every step of this journey with us. 🎉

Steam Deck Verified! 🎮

While we continue working on the next imminent update, we have some exciting news to share!

[h3]🎉 Dealer’s Life Legend is now Steam Deck Verified! 🎉[/h3]


We put a lot of effort into making the game look and run great on Deck: from the very first Early Access build, our game included full controller support and compatibility with the Deck’s virtual keyboard.
Now Valve has officially tested and approved the game for Steam Deck! We were quite confident that this would happen but we are still very happy about it!

If you own a Steam Deck we highly recommend trying the game there! We think it fits perfectly on a portable console!


That said, we suggest you stay tuned: the next update is coming very soon, and it’s packed with a huge lot of new content! Time to sharpen your swords… ⚔
