A Merchant's Promise News

As always still some work to do! But this should be a good start that hopefully leads to easy GamePad/Controller Support.

If you'd like to help test it out that would be great!

[h2]Highlights:[/h2]

Prompts and things like Tutorial Signs should update as you change key configurations
Menu Updated

[h2]Highlights:[/h2]

• Free-Look while attached to cart (hold LeftAlt)
  
• Extend the Sales Contracts by Pressing E to see in-depth stats (Hold E to sign)
  
• Ringing a Bell has replaced the Merchant Sign Process
  
• Updated some Seasonal Colors (still WIP)
  

As always I'll be in Discord should you need anything! I'll be working on some Trader Stocking and NPC's in the meantime.

Hope you have a good week!

5 Big Changes:

• New Harbor Area & Game Start
  
• Updated Abacus

Still lots to do but I think it was important to get everyone out of the Prison Starting Area. I'll be working on adding more to the Harbor Area and making it feel better and better.

Let me know your thoughts in comparison to before if you give it a try!
