📢 Trade Trials – Beta Release is Here! 🛒✨

Hey traders!

I'm beyond excited to announce that Trade Trials is officially launching in beta access! 🎉 After months of development, designing intricate AI-driven villagers, and fine-tuning the trading system, we’re ready to open the doors for early players to dive in and experience the marketplace like never before.

🛠 What is Trade Trials?

For those just joining us, Trade Trials is a pixel-art trading simulation where every deal is a challenge. You’ll trade resources like stone, wood, and more for gold, but there’s a twist: NPCs have unique personalities, and some will try to deceive you. 😏

Using my custom AI-driven system, each villager reacts differently to negotiations. Some are honest, others are tricksters, and it’s up to you to haggle, bargain, and strategize your way to riches.

🔥 What’s Included in the Beta?

I'm rolling out Beta v1.0, and here’s what you can expect:

✅ Core Trading System – Buy and sell resources dynamically, negotiating the best deals. 

✅ AI-Powered NPCs – Each villager has unique behaviors, needs, and even the ability to lie! 

✅ Bargaining & Bluffing Mechanics – Push your luck, call their bluff, or get out-negotiated. Every deal matters. 

✅ Multiple Game Modes –

• Classic Mode: A structured trading experience with evolving challenges.
• Time Trials Mode: A fast paced experience to earn a set amount in the fastest time.
  
• Endless Mode: See how long you can bear the ever-changing economy. 

✅ High Score System – Track your best trades and aim to dominate the marketplace.

✅ Retro Pixel Art Aesthetic – A charming, handcrafted world full of bustling villagers and lively interactions.

🚧 What’s Next?

Since this is a beta, I know there’s still plenty to refine! Here’s what I'm actively working on for future updates:

🔹 More NPC Depth – Expanding villager personalities and adding new types of behaviors. 

🔹 More Tradeable Resources – More goods, more variety, and new supply/demand mechanics. 

🔹 Economy Balance Tweaks – Making sure prices fluctuate in interesting and strategic ways. 

🔹 Bug Fixes & AI Improvements – Fine-tuning how villagers react to your bargaining skills. 

🔹 New Game Modes? 👀 – I'm considering community-driven ideas for exciting new challenges!
