The Merchant's Eden News

[p]Hey everyone![/p][p]
I’m excited to share an update with you today that many of you have been asking for:
There is now a larger map option with 50% more buildable space. This gives you significantly more room to expand your city and plan your defenses more strategically.[/p][p][/p][h3]🏗️ What the larger map offers you[/h3]

• [p]More space for houses, walls, towers, and other buildings[/p]
• [p]A more open layout for your city so you don’t constantly run into the map limits[/p]
• [p]Longer defensive paths and more options for redirecting or mitigating attacks[/p][p][/p]

[h3]🛠️ Behind the scenes[/h3][p]To make larger maps possible in the first place, I worked on two essential features:[/p]

• [p]Zoom levels: The larger map option also means the camera needs to be positioned further out. To make sure you don’t miss any details, you can now zoom in and out to keep both close-up details and the overall map in view.[/p]
• [p]Map movement: Zooming in on details is great, but to ensure you stay in control, you can now move across the map.[/p]

[p]These two features were the foundation needed to make larger maps usable at all. As a result, this update includes a lot of fine-tuning of the camera system and overall controls.[/p][p][/p][p]And if you haven’t already, wishlist the game on Steam — it really helps![/p][p][/p][p]Thanks for following along 🙌[/p][p]— Daniel[/p]

[p]Hey everyone![/p][p]Quick development update from behind the scenes of The Merchant’s Eden. I’ve just finished implementing the first version of the procedural map generation![/p][p]This has been one of the bigger features I’ve been working toward, and I’m really excited with how it’s turning out. Every time you start a new game now, you’ll get a completely fresh world to build in. No two runs will look the same.[/p][p][/p][h3]What’s New?[/h3][p]Here’s a quick rundown of what’s working now:[/p]

• [p]New map every time: Each game starts in a procedurally generated world, offering a fresh experience every time.[/p]
• [p]Different biomes: From dense forests to sun-scorched deserts, each biome brings its own atmosphere and gameplay mechanics.[/p]
• [p]Seed system: If you find a map you love, you can share the seed or replay it later.[/p]
• [p]Custom starting options: Choose your map size and starting conditions to match how you want to play.[/p]

[p]I wanted to make sure the game supports different play styles as well as moods. Whether you are into building cozy little towns or sprawling trade hubs you can now choose the world that fits best for you.[/p][p][/p][h3]Still in Progress[/h3][p]There’s still a bunch left to do, but this was a big step forward in making the game feel more alive and replayable. I’ll keep sharing updates as things come together, so stay tuned if you’re interested in the development journey.[/p][p]And if you haven’t already, wishlist the game on Steam — it really helps![/p][p][/p][p]Thanks for following along 🙌 [/p][p]— Daniel[/p]
