Dealer’s Life updated: version 1.11 – Scary Deals Update

Welcome back Dealers!

Today we’re very proud to announce a shiny new version for Dealer’s Life, thanks to what we’ve called “Scary Deals Update”! Strange name, isn’t it? Let’s look what’s in the box this time!

Halloween is coming! That’s why Dealer’s Life now has a new look: with this update comes the brand new Halloween Theme, full of pumpkins, witches and skeletons! It’s a common tradition to all our special themes and in Halloween Theme too you will have all your shop nicely decorated and you’ll also be able to find theme dedicated items that you will find only during this period. Will you be able to find them all?

Moving on, let’s get to the biggest new feature coming with Scary Deals Update: auction sales!
Yes, you got it right: from now on, if you own a shop in at least the commercial district, you’ll be able to sell on auction an item of yours! Every Monday morning you will find a special article on the newspaper from witch you’ll be able to choose an item to be sold on auction during the week. You’ll receive the sale result on Saturday, one day before the fearful weekly expenses! What’s the advantage in this, you say? Well, we all know that anything could happen during a week: bad events, bad guys coming to your shop, bad deals… How can you be sure to get to the end of the week with enough cash to pay your expenses? Let’s be honest, you simply can’t BUT if you “invest” an item in order to keep it away from bad happenings and get its selling value just before having to pay, that could be interesting… Yes, because you can be sure on one thing about auctions sales: your item will always be sold, always. No matter what. Maybe you won’t make your best deal selling an item this way but hey it’s still shining cash, right?

Oh wait, I was about to forget the most fearsome detail about auctions sales: if you mistakenly sell a fake item on auction, bad things will happen! People at auctions don’t like to buy fakes so a special task force of Experts checks every item that comes to be sold on auction. This also explains why you’ll never find a fake to buy on your actions, the Experts task force protects your auctions as well, but let’s stay on the point: you simply won’t be able to sell on auction an item that you know to be a fake, but if the item is a fake and you don’t know it… well, that could be troublesome: your item will be confiscated, you won’t gain anything from it and your reputation will drop a lot! The worst thing is that you’ll come to know it only on Saturday and if that item of yours was your weekly expenses insurance that would be quite annoying. So here is my advice: if you want to live without any stress, try to sell on auction only items that are certified by your Expert, you can easily find them thanks to the brand new item stamp we introduced in our previous update!

Surely Mad Onna is not the owner of that nice Stellar Voyage starship scale model!

Next thing we introduced in this update is a new image in the Free Gift article, just to make it nicer to the eyes. As you also saw in the auction window above, we have implemented some graphic improvements and we are evaluating more of them, just to add some more variety and color. What do you think about them?

As you can see, we also introduced some effects in the background to give a little more emphasis, we know that we can do something different with them and… I won’t tell you more about it for now but stay sure you’ll see those rays again in our next release and I’m sure you’ll love them! 😀

That’s all for what concerns the Scary Deals Update but we still have something huge to announce: Dealer’s Life iOS version is currently in closed Beta!
