Meet New 'Friends' in The Walking Trade!

[p]I can’t believe we’re officially less than a week away from The Walking Trade’s launch on the 5th March! It feels like it's taken forever but at the same time feels like yesterday I was first programming the prototype.[/p][p][/p][p]Today I’d like to go over a couple of brand new features coming at launch in the form of new characters and events. First up, from an unknown land, presumably far from our shop, the Exotic Merchant.[/p][p][/p][h2]Exotic Merchant[/h2][p][/p][p][/p][p]Every so often, you’re going to see this strange man belly dancing around some of the best loot available in the game. How did he obtain this stuff? No need to question it. From weapons to tools to ammo to sleeping bags, he sells it at a reasonable price. If you see him parked outside on the road, be sure to pop him a visit as his stock does change slightly each time he comes. One thing to note: he’s extremely touchy when it comes to threats. Should he take any damage from anything, he’ll drive off immediately for that day.[/p][p][/p][h2]Dr. Gib[/h2][p][/p][p]Another outcast with a sketchy line of work, but unlike the Exotic Merchant meeting Dr. Gib is going to take a little more effort. Dr. Gib will only appear once you’ve managed to open the warehouse backdoor somehow. He’s a pretty chill dude who wants ‘Good Meat’ for unknown reasons, in exchange he’ll let you play his wheel of fortune mini-game. Whatever his wheel lands on is yours. The wheel’s prizes are different each day and will often feature Scarce and Limited items! If you’ve recently been on a killing spree, it would be wise to put those dead bodies to some good use.
[/p][p]Without spoiling any more, there are other characters you will encounter throughout your days running the shop - but to find those you’ll need to get running your shop.[/p][p]
[/p][p]Thank you so much for reading - see you all March 5th!
