Shop locations
Barrel shop(sell)
To sell items produced from the crop, first needs to find a barrel looking on the map(location showing at the start of section) that is currently buying things. The Barrel shop will semi-random pick an item that produced from any season to buy every day. The price is random set depending the current season and the item produce season, if the item picked is not produced at current season, then the price will be expensiver than normal, otherwise if produced from current season, then it will be cheaper.
To sell an item from Barrel shop, the player will need to hold the item like to sell, the player will need to facing and stand close the Barrel shop till selected(highlight) it, then tap 'J' to interact with the Barrel shop. If the item holding is the same as the Barrel shop current buying, your item will disappear and the Gold count on the top right screen will increase the amount that shows on the Barrel shop of the buying price.
Sell an item to Barrel shop
Mat shop(buy)
Similar to Barrel shop, Mat shop is also locating around the map, normally next to the Barrel shop. The Mat shop takes the work that sells items to player(seed only at the moment), it will semi-random pick a seed to sell every day. The price of items for sale has the same functionality to Barrel shop, but contrary to Barrel shop, if the item from Mat shop can not grow in the current season, it will become cheap, opposite if the seed can be grown in the current season, it becomes expensiver.
To buy an item from Mat shop, the player will need to highlight the Mat shop by facing and stand close to Mat shop, then tap 'J' to interact with the Mat shop, if the gold amount player current owned is enough to purchase, an item will be created near to the Map shop allow player to pickup and takeaway. (note that each Mat shop can be purchase same item multiple times)
Buy seeds from Mat shop
Barrel shop and Mat shop update every day
In further updates, the price of both buy and sell shop is also planning to change depends on more other effects, such as the relationship to the trader or villagers NPC(not yet implemented), and other random events that may affect the trading market.
Feedback
Purchase on Mat shop decreased gold but nothing happened.
After purchased an item at Mat shop, the item will be created in the same position as the Mat shop located, this causes the item just created seem overlapped with the display item. If the player walks on the Map shop after purchasing an item, the item just purchased can be kicked away from the position of Map shop to make it appear to see.
An update has been uploaded that every purchase from Mat shop, the item will be created around the Mat shop rather than the same location of the Mat shop.
