I hear some cawing, which means its time to jump in to this exciting Roads & Riches delivery!
Your shop is a magnificent, perfectly organized, jewel of the local area - now you can show it off like the master merchant you really are! Today's update brings Photo Mode; capture the moments you strike it big, the wind blows just right, or just some cozy evenings around the soup pot.
We've been thrilled to see screenshots of your shops in the Discord so far, and we hope this feature will make it even easier to share! In addition to sharing your photos, please let us know what kind of Photo Mode updates you'd like to see in the future!
Soup up your Soup! In your exploration of The Golden Reaches, you may have noticed exotic plants and herbs waving softly in the wind. Today, you can start collecting them with the Herb Bag upgrade!
Collect and add herbs to your Soup Pot to raise its value and imbue your stew with Bonus Effects! Magic ingredients won't last forever, but keen-eyed stewards would be wise to keep a healthy stock of specialties!
Upgrading to the next Caravan Tier is an important achievement on your Merchant journey across the world... so we've added some welcome fanfare to your special moment! There is also more variety in the main Caravan visual between tiers.
Roads & Riches isn't just a fantasy merchant game, it's your fantasy merchant game - so it should look the part! New customization options are available via the Paint Bucket, including an updated menu for smoother creative endeavors.
We usually put our lists of patch notes at the bottom of the post (welcome, Vellum fans) - but today, for our first in-blog set of notes, we're putting them front and center! Many fixes and notes come from player reports and feedback! We're continually working to listen and improve Roads & Riches - so thank you for helping with these patch notes! Fun fact: we've closed over 50 bug reports from players in this update!
