Just updated the demo, includes a bunch of quality of life improvements, and a massive polish of character voice sounds.

But the main feature is a new room at the inn where you can buy upgrades for the early game customers.

I tried to make the upgrades interesting and add new elements to gameplay, the one shown here for example adds a reward for skill, giving the player a mana refund if they have both of the items this customer wants ready for them in one go.

That bonus has to be collected so it takes a decision to leave the main loop and go pick the reward up, but it also stacks up to 5 times so there's some leeway on the window of opportunity to do so.

Been working on some usability improvements lately, here's a video with commentary showing a couple of those.

- The ability to close the store so you can do some stress-free management.
- Sprites changing colour to indicate what option they're set to at a glance.

Ahoy fellow adrift.

I'm a game developer from Melbourne, Australia. I was cinematographer on Necrobarista. Now I'm making a shop RPG with a focus on story and no combat.

Final Profit: A Shop RPG is packed full of economic mechanics and is designed to be critical of capitalism.

- Manage your shop.
- Exploit the stock and real estate markets.
- Seek out upgrades and collectables.
- Explore a world teeming with secrets.
- Make choices that change how your shop evolves.

All to accumulate enough wealth and influence to take down the corrupt Bureau of Business.

Built in RPG Maker but don't let that put you off, I've performed considerable sorcery to make this a unique experience!

In year 3 of development and getting close to release, I'll be posting updates here. So stick around!
