Ten Thousand Coins: The Golden Merchant changes
It has been an extremely busy month for us since BitSummit 2026! Here are the development updates leading up to the event:
Title Screen
Our title screen was long overdue for an improvement! As seen in our latest demo, both Story Mode and Company Mode title screens have been revamped, and we have also removed the extra click needed for the main menu to appear.
Combat Updates
We've made some major updates to the art and animation in combat, these include:
New background art, both for day and night cycles
Enemy animation and sprite improvements
Animation of Pige receiving goods for you when playing as Viia in Story Mode
Text System Results and Limited Demo
The result of updating our text system in the past months meant we could finally support localising our game in other languages, as seen in our first iteration for our Japanese demo for BitSummit 2026!
This next week will be the last chance to try our limited demo in Japanese before we need to switch off our language support for further updates to our demo, as it is still a work-in-progress!
This experience has been invaluable for future localisation work for our game!
Events in May & June
BitSummit 2026 was an amazing event for us, both in terms of showcasing our game at our booth and with all of the business contacts we made! A big thank you to the teams at NZ CODE and NZTE for making this trip possible!
Also, thank you to the organisers for the following events/sales on Steam in May/June that we were able to be a part of:
Strategems 2026 - by Goblinz Publishing
Women-Led Games 2026
As mentioned, it's been a very busy month here, which means we have a lot more development progress to show off soon!
Until next time, Cynthia (Founder/Developer)
