Love the concept, and of course this beautiful art.
Just gave it a go, and it's pretty good! I love the world that it's building and the character's its introducing! The art is amazing! And a Travelling merchant rpg? I've never heard anything like that and this game does it well! Can't wait to see more! Here's my playthrough of it https://youtu.be/T1QTdRtUork
cool, I will give it a go.
At the beggining it crashes and says it cant setdimensions of undefined or something to that degree
Selling Sunlight is a narrative merchant RPG with hand-drawn graphics, no battles, and entirely too many bees.
(You can pet the bees. They are fluffy.)
Wander a fantastic world stuck in an eternal sunset. Befriend other merchants, travel together, and trade goods and information. Acquire riches. Collect weird wonders. Be afraid of mirrors. Smuggle light bulbs. Romance a star.
Sell sunlight.
Recall
Who are you? A sinner, that's for sure. But what about the person behind the mask?
Where you once a librarian with golden hair as shiny as the Sun you adored? A black-skinned matriarch, believing only in the power of Science? Or did you came from stranger lands, and prayed to even stranger gods?
Tell me everything about your reckless life choices. Will you continue to defy the Sun now, or will you try to regain Its favour?
Wander
Explore the Line of Dawn, home of seven cities and countless wonders.
Dance under the giant mirrors of the Red Temple, eat fishes that are also books in the Cyan port; or visit the Violet Army, living in giant carcasses of frozen war-beasts.
Plan your journey carefully, balance the load of your cart, and beware: sudden encounters and discoveries can always interrupt your journey.
Befriend
During your journey you'll meet nomads, musicians, botanists, scholars, missionaries and many others - each one with their own agenda.
Barter goods and news with fellow travelers, and journey together to fight loneliness. Keep in touch with letters, and celebrate every new encounter with a drink.
Not having a face is not an excuse for being antisocial.
Barter
You know what's the good part about having a mask? Lying comes off a lot more easily.
Scrutinize other merchants and change your attitude accordingly. Offer goods, precious information, or brazenly seduce your opponent to obtain a nice discount. Import and export goods from far regions to maximize your profits.
