Getting that Cash on the Road! - This Merchant Life PC Gameplay Impressions

[@lanceuppercut6168]

"Not gonna make a lotta money off the wood here" Aww, bless your heart Splatt XP

[@Gitami]

Losing guards left and right, you are now the merchant of death.

[@bossdgamer9057]

“Gimme your money!” “I don’t see no knee belt...”

[@WolfOfLegend]

I was confused for a second with the "homely" joke. Apparently in NA its another way of calling someone ugly. I'll be honest i only ever knew of the other meaning aha

[@Rudevald]

Okay Splatts. I need to adress serious issue. WHAT KIND OF MAN SEES CHEAP BEER AND DONT STOCKS? Seriously man. Alcohol is easiest thing to sell!

[@dannymo4390]

TheHobbitMonster and good.

[@kn1v3z2k]

ya i noticed that too lol

[@TheRawrnstuff]

"Homely" means different things between the US and the UK.

[@Lamback772]

If anyone wanted to know, Hearts have alway been used to represent health because of the Roman idea that the heart was the seat of the soul.

[@TheHumanSynthesisProject]

Laughed at the shaky hands joke. I have bartender hands, so my drinks are generous.

[@neolithiumproduction]

I actually like this. And I agree, Splat. The art style isn't bad at all. It actually kinds of suits the feel of the game.

[@eshanroveran7850]

Has anyone else played the "Frontier" flash game? It's great and very very similar to this with a huge amount of cities and a lot of quests and ppl to hire you can upgrade your cart and shit too

[@CT-se8hf]

I thought the exact same thing!

[@hugofontes5708]

austin hicks reminded me a lot of it too

[@mukson_pautinka3413]

The reason why people made the heart the symbol of life or hp is from the misconception that the heart is the most important organ. The reason story behind that is that hunters noticed that when the wound an animal and immobilize it the sign of their death was their heartbeat they knew that is the heart stops beating the animal dies. However we now know that it is a consequence (unless you shot the actual heart) rather than the cause. But the idea of the heart being the symbol of love (people thought that because when people that loved each other went on a date or something like that, the heartbeat sped up) and life.

[@Balstrome1]

I think you are correct.

[@maxybaer123]

but the heart is arguably the most important organ why is that a misconception?

[@dukex123]

Recently a colleague told me that he is concerned about heart transplants from pigs to people who, well need a transplant. Or similarly with completely artificial hearts. He was worried that when the people wake up from the operation, they won't be able to feel emotions anymore. Since humans obviously have emotions from the heart. Well, it was a rough talk to get this idea out of him.

[@maxybaer123]

Its wierdly sad how many people dont know basic stuff supposedly there were people who thought the Titanic was just a movie

[@Gitami]

No one is quite sure when the v-shape heart symbol came to represent love or heart. It has shown up before 1200 but representing something else.

[@STStillwell]

You are probably completely unaware of this, so I just thought I'd let you know. You are an extremely funny individual.. XD that shaky hand/mixing drinks line had me laughing. Thanks for making my night.

[@GameTimeWhy]

I was just thinking this too. It's funny watching the old stuff and hearing the same jokes but with less confidence. He's really come into his own recently.

[@Seriously_Unserious]

This looks like a fun little game, I'd love to see a bit more of it.

[@Shipprofile08]

Nice Job on the video Splat! I noticed the red bar increases as you get more escorts. My guess is the larger the red bar is, the more inticing your cart is to bandits. I guess they like to go after caravans with large escorts thinking they have some awsome treasure because its heavly guarded!

[@Starshockz47]

I would like to see more videos on this game!

[@benjamincvcvcv7]

i assume the + whatever in combat is the dice roll. so its your score + dice and it has to beat theres to hit

[@inexplicablegames1586]

Right on. Confusing a lot of people though, I'll have to make it clearer. I'm also going to speed up the wait between turns in combat, it's a bit interminable even to watch...

[@ElDuroLak]

The heart symbol is an older symbol turned upside down. Still meant vitality/virility.

[@smeekma]

Make this a series please! I love logistics and economy based games.

I like merchant simulator, but I prefer those that have some visual cues to help you check prices and stuff instead of needing to create a spreadsheet to track everything.

[@daltonhiniker1774]

Please make a series with this

[@TheSebsFilms]

He has a belt on his knee... because he was a soldier once until he took an arrow to the knee

[@4444egor]

There was a combat tutorial you missed.

[@tomclark7232]

Pfft, tutorials - Splatt don't need no tutorials!

[@divebombexpert2619]

Spice and wolf the game ? And no I haven't watched the show

[@novarwright8514]

DiveBomb Expert DAMN YOU! I wanted to make that joke. And you didn't even watched the show or never read light novel? Then how did you know?

[@animelover3083]

theres a joke? theres a game?

[@novarwright8514]

TheHobbitMonster believe, it's worth... but be prepared for a cut short ending, and that there is no season 3 at all. Soooo, you'll probably end up with light novels as well.

[@pohis3457]

All I need is a foxy deity to keep me company and this game is golden.

[@gamersinger5118]

DiveBomb Expert You really are not missing anything.

[@BaldurM]

Like the game, can we get a few more episodes?

[@yaseenhassan6999]

Would like to to see more of this

[@ZeroVoltzTv]

Hey, i'm all about management games as well, keep them coming!

[@firedrake7249]

Great looking but not really my type of game still love the commentary keep at it splat :)

[@mitchellwild4690]

Still my favourite KZbinr but I still think you should spam the long dark story mode

[@scmansfield90]

Australia loves you!!!!

[@jd8ish]

I'd watch more!

[@knoxober4405]

r u still doing the long dark story mode?

[@jinroh4733]

More would be nice at lest 2 more.

[@LuisEdGm]

The aesthetics are quite weird for a medieval game, looks like it would fit better in a sci-fi game

[@ItsEphora]

12:20 That's my life right now. F'n spiders everywhere.

[@TheUniversalRocker]

all i can think about is the king's road from got

[@redxlaser1562]

Do more Splat! Also, you have largely basically been like: "Let's use up all our money on hiring people instead of focusing on making money! That's the perfect idea!"

[@lanceuppercut6168]

"You have to spend money to make money"... is what some random person said before they lost their savings and had to file for bankruptcy XD

[@MK_2023.]

I'm all about that 'Boater' life!

[@MacBeyer]

Who names their town Arrow though?

[@explosionman9648]

Can you put x3 on the channel plz

[@karinabatista1430]

Plz do more splatt

[@edcross447]

Hearts wern't always the symbol of health. Before that it was the liver. Think about it... live-er. This was of course before modern medicine actually figured out what organs do.

[@aidanhershey3526]

I'd watch more

[@TinkyTheCat]

I had no idea (or just forgot) you played X3. I played the ever-lovin' crap out of that game. I was so disappointed with Rebirth though, hopefully the franchise can recover.

[@elzbane4588]

More good sir!

[@exactinmidget92]

We need more kingsway and Corsair.

[@leonardofranzinribeiro4220]

How do you have just spiders roaming your house? What is this? Australia???

[@hugofontes5708]

Leonardo Franzin Ribeiro have you never found a random spider at home?

[@leonardofranzinribeiro4220]

Hugo Fontes Nope. Completely spider free.

[@nonphixion9677]

It’s in my recommended:)

[@TurtleTy1]

TF happened to that spider

[@lutherneko421]

This would b a great phone game

[@JaninaStormborn]

Ale got cheaper because you sold them a lot, I guess ;)

[@nicholasjensen4356]

Play more please!!!

[@isaacrabbit]

more

[@Nova-su8nz]

I like trains

[@alanphomsouvanh8741]

Do more

[@medge734]

its pretty interesting! something different.

[@zacharytyler543]

seems intresting the combat is prety janky though.

[@LoneRanger4744]

play more please.

[@Tactavious]

Sometimes your wit is so fast I can't help but feel like some jokes are scripted lol. Stable hand and shaky hand...I don't know why but I fucking cracked up after you said that.

[@saltcheese]

y all these indie games i want only in windows... :'(

[@austinadams3400]

Here come the thug life jokes

[@Vijay-tg7hf]

several fragments of duodenum haahhaha XD

[@Mephaistus]

RNG combat again, you would think that sort gets boring with time.

[@CSLune]

2017 Anyone?

[@DirpyTurtle]

No this is 1.000 BC and I'm watching this on my Istone

[@Wiromax3]

The current year? I think you might be right, maybe.

[@CSLune]

Just

[@merlinfungelover4908]

Elo splat from Africa

[@hvsxswaylex4732]

before 1k views!

[@LoneRanger4744]

a lot more

[@lilbroomstick8141]

More

[@novarwright8514]

The Merchant Life review: Not enough wolf goddesses. Not enough funny dialogues. Not enough intensity. 3/10 became a town merchant, would not play again.

[@puko4700]

Early. :o Never been so early lol. Howdy other early people!

[@FFeldbak]

hey, same here. never got so early too

[@PotatoeGameing]

i pirate games to see if i like them and if i do i buy them is that all that bad

[@bring-out]

My god the text bloat. Why can't game developers hire writers that aren't champions of amateurish purple prose? Efficient writing is paramount when writing for a game. @11:04 All that pointless word goo could easily have been exchanged for one or two concise sentences.

[@DkAcidFire]

moar, plz

[@lord_dakon]

Morr

[@yap9877]

Wait, that river on the world map - it splits and connects oceans? I can't buy this game until that's fixed. RIVERS. DON'T. SPLIT. (apart from extraordinarily rare geological anomalies) They also do not connect oceans. I'm guessing that as a geologist you'll either be able to yea me on this or say I'm completely wrong xD Devs fix pls

[@alaura0396]

Micah W I do not know where you live, but I live along the British Columbia coast in Canada. There are many rivers that reach the ocean, and there are many more that split in variety of ways. If you think I am wrong, can you show me what you know to be true?

[@alaura0396]

Micah W nevermind I am an idiot who has to go back to bed, didnt read properly!

[@insireus8815]

Play age of empires 2 it would suit your style like this coment if you agree

[@Boost_Addict20]

This game looks shit

[@ryanclemons1]

Yeah looks boring i think i will pass.

[@goedhart9498]

do more
