Ten Thousand Coins: The Golden Merchant changes
I hope everyone has been well! Here in NZ, the weather is starting to get cold again, so this update is written to you from underneath a warm blanket with some hot tea:
Trading Boosts
For our barter system, we have added some extra incentives to make smart offers to your traders by adding barter boosts that you can gain by meeting the right conditions, with the first one being:
Needed goods boost - if you offer multiple goods needed by the trader, a bonus is added to your entire barter offer value, such as: 2 needed goods on offer = +10% offer value boost
This will allow players to strategise on whether to keep multiple types of goods for a big trade at a settlement, or make room for smaller, quicker trades when needed.
More types of boosts will be added as we implement more content.
More UI and Text System Updates
We have made significant progress in updating our text and UI system to make it localisation-friendly.
It is also much more text scaling-friendly for when we need to implement more options in this area.
Some UI adjustments were also made, with UI sprites improved.
We will have another bigger announcement regarding this coming soon!
Content Updates
More content development is happening behind the scenes, including Story Mode and Company Mode. We will be able to start showing sneak peeks in our updates soon!
Events in May
We are fortunate enough to also have Ten Thousand Coins: The Golden Merchant participate in the various great Steam events in May, with the first one being:
The ANZ Showcase & Indiefest 2026 - by The Indie Brew
Each of these event months are also a big development milestone for us, so stay tuned and check out our updated demo next month!
A big thank you to Bec and The Indie Brew team!
More announcements to be made next month with the upcoming events!
Until next time, Cynthia (Founder/Developer)
