Games [Steam Early Access] The Dealer is available now!

Hey, guys! My game, The Dealer, is available now in Steam Early Access!
It's a dialogue driven game that takes place in the fictional version of the United States, set against catastrophic economic and political situation, and looming civil war. You play as a street dealer in the most troubled city of the country. To survive, you have to sell everything you can get and face hard moral decisions.

You can find a detailed description, trailer and more screenshots on its Steam page, check it out:

Hey, guys! Update 2 is available now! The goal of this update was to make the game more intuitive based on the early feedback, make some game mechanics clearer to players, fix/rewrite stuff here and there, and also add new things along the way.

Full list of changes and additions:
- New item - cola.
- Some new customer clothes.
- Fixed soap image.
- Flyer image is replaced with a higher resolution version.
- Extended Lenny's speech in the opening of Story Mode.
- Additional notes in Story Mode and Tutorial to clarify how police works in the game.
- You can now start a new game right at the end of Tutorial.
- Inventory and Reference Book icons are now highlighted in Tutorial when you need to click on them.
- Additional Reference Book page about the cross icon which appears right before any dialogue with a customer to notify a player when he can't interact with Lenny, trash cans and newspaper.
- Rewrites in Reference Book descriptions.
- More visible highlight on Inventory and Reference Book icons and UI buttons when you hover over them.
- Some visual updates, particularly on TV buttons and some customer clothes.
- Some new customer lines.
- "harvested ballots" item is removed from Survival Mode because it takes place in 2019, a year before the election.
- A very slight pause was added at the end of each dialogue with customers to make the transition from customer's last dialogue line to him leaving you smoother.
- Now Lenny's UI shows up instantly when Lenny doesn't have any news.

The game is available on both Steam and itch.io:

Hey, guys! 20% Christmas discount and Update 3, part 1 are available now! Check it out!
https://store.steampowered.com/app/977410/The_Dealer/

I'm currently working on a massive Update 3 which will include a lot changes and new content, and will be released sometime next month. Part 1 includes mostly visual touch-ups which I felt were important for overall presentation, particularly:
- Fonts in Main Menu, Reference Book and Notes UI are replaced with high resolution versions. Initially I was going for more pixelated look of some UI text, but I felt it didn't work and it just bugged me all the time, so new fonts should be more fitting to the game and pleasing to the eye.
- 'Ponvision' logo and text under buttons on TV UI are replaced with high resolution versions.
- "Motivational" poster in player's appartment is replaced with a higher resolution version.
- New street poster in Survival Mode.
- Main Menu frame is removed.
- Different small fixes here and there.

Full version of Update 3 will include:
- New opening in Story Mode.
- Overhauled Tutorial.
- Extended gameplay.
- Separate inventory slot or two for quest items.
- Visual and audio improvements.
- New clothes and character details.
- New items.
- Extended dialogue lines.
- Improved UI.
- Different fixes here and there.
and more.

Stay tuned and I hope you'll enjoy your first stay in Winterfield!
