Evaluation
Legend of Merchant is a small solo-developed trading mini-game that launched out of Early Access on December 16, 2016. The developer was very active during the Early Access period, shipping frequent updates and new features leading up to that release date.
On February 3, 2017, the developer published an explicit statement marking the end of content development: "For now, this game is completed for me... So it comes to an end of this game." Version 1.86, which added a new "Bazaar in Silence" mode, was described as the last content update. The developer explained they were moving on to learn new skills and develop their next project.
The developer has since followed through on exactly that plan. From 2024 onward, their news posts have been entirely focused on promoting a sequel, "Legend of Merchant 2," including a store page launch in June 2024, a demo release in October 2024, and a wishlist push in March 2026. None of these posts suggest any intention to return to the original game.
This game shipped as a complete, self-contained product as of February 3, 2017, with no further content planned or delivered since that date.
Evidence
Developer explicitly states version 1.86 is the last content update and that the game is complete: 'For now, this game is completed for me... So it comes to an end of this game.' Developer announces they are moving on to a new project.
Duplicate of the final content update post confirming version 1.86 is the last update and development is concluded.

About this game
This is a personal made game, I did all the programming and made most textures. It won't have amazing game play or some deep thoughts but completeness and a bit of fun. It would be great for me if someone like the game.

Game Tips:
1.Make more money in limited days.
2.Item price will only change after one day passed.
3.Each item will have a random top and bottom price cap. These two values won't change in one play through.
4.Hoarding an item will cause its price increase. Notice that events also affect price. So it might not increase.
5.Dumping an item will cause its price decrease. Similarly it's not guaranteed.
6.Lower price is very likely to cause stronger rebound.
7.If not affected by former rules , Price move direction is a 50/50.
8.Higher base price, higher variation. It's all based on percentage.
It's just a mini-game.
