Hi everyone!

We’ve just released our first post-launch update for Village Merchant, bringing a range of improvements, polish, and gameplay adjustments to enhance your experience.

Here’s what’s new:

- Fixed non-hiding Level Progress Bar UI when game is paused.
- Fixed coloristics on some ordered boxes.
- Fixed an issue with the price assignment UI where some arrows remained highlighted even when not selected.
- Added missing German translation for the grindstone minigame.
- Added missing translation for dried meat.
- Fixed a bug that forced player to sell certain items in quests, while they weren't available for the player yet.
- Added better logic for clients when they can't find an item they wanted to buy initially. From now on they will buy what is available in the shop eventually.
- Increased customer spawn chance.
- Adjusted honey pot translations in some languages.

We’ll continue refining the game based on your feedback - thank you for your support!

Have a great weekend and enjoy the game!
