Progress on gamedesign, visuals and mechanics

18 Feb, 2023

Dear Steam community,

We are happy to share that our project is progressing well, and we are diligently working towards a public release of a playable version.

Our team has been putting in a lot of effort to refine the gameplay mechanics, create visually appealing graphics, and implement exciting features to deliver an engaging gaming experience.
These changes still need to be implemented, balanced, or optimized in some cases.

We appreciate the support and patience of our community thus far!
We will update you on our progress and post more details about the game soon.

Follow us on Twitter for more development insights:

Trader Models and Pathfinding

7 Oct, 2020

We've thrown out another placeholder!

The next placeholder had to go and was kicked out, this time it was the trader's.
We replaced the flying "somethings" with an actual model of how the traders are supposed to look in the game - a carriage with brave horsies in front of it.

They also rotate into the proper direction, so they'll see and be able to avoid any obstacles in their way.

Speaking of obstacles:

Base Pathfinding Implementation

We also have a working pathfinding implementation now.
What is that and what does this mean, you ask?

It's the ability of the game to find a decent way from one hexagonal tile of the map to any other - including accounting for hard to pass terrain or not all passable fields.

Check out this example, where the game found a neat way from the left to the right end of this road while avoiding and "walking around" the impassable mountains:

So yah, all in all, we're coming along nicely,
stay tuned for more updates - and the closed Early Alpha soon!

The First Milestone has been Reached!

25 Sep, 2020

MILESTONE 1 - we have a "game loop"

Ladies and gentle men, we're so super happy to tell you that Let Them Trade is making good progress!

It has been a bit quiet since we started working on the prototype of Let Then Trade, lot's of work needed to be (re)done as we had to start from scratch and do everything new, since we switched to Unreal Engine 4.

But we're finally on track again, and from now on we don't want to leave the fast lane.

The First Milestone is here

Our first, big goal was to get a "complete game loop" that also looks nice.
What does this mean?
This means that at this stage, the game is basically running and things are already happening!

Thomas has worked his incredible magic and created fantastic new assets (the game tiles and everything on them), Michael ("Hellcat") cast some dark voodoo to fill the traders, that are already existing in the game, with enough life so they can make profit yielding decisions on what resource to buy at which city and where to sell it again and last but not least, Alex and Flo joined forces for the first bit of UI!

So yeah, big progress in the houses of Let Them Trade.

And be asured, we're already having a detailed plan on how to get to the next milestones - we will, of course, keep you very updated, so you always know what's up :-)

If you feel like you want more updates, or even give feedback and suggestions - or just want to chat with us a bit - follow us on the Tweeter and/or join our Discord:

Any idea on ETA?

A hint of what quarter you're aiming for now that you have a publisher backing you, I'll even settle for the year you're aiming for. It's been quite a few months since last update and that's why I'm asking.

Welcome - And Some Words About Current State of the Game

Hello everyone! Welcome to "Let Them Trade". Thank you for your interest in our game! We are still quite early in the development process of the game, but working in overdrive towards a first "early Alpha" version. As you might've caught, when following the Let Them Trade Twitter, we switched engines and went Unreal Engine 4 - so we had to completely rewrite everything from scratch, from the very first concept that we had created and you might have seen early screenshots of. We're maki...

Current State of LTT

Even though it has become very quiet around the project, we are back in development at full power. The recent period has been very challenging for us. Many obstacles had to be overcome. But now the development is back in full swing, and we hope to make a big announcement soon. We are very pleased that people continue to check in and ask about the status, and we apologize for the delays in responses and the lack of updates....
