Description
[BETA]
As the Merchant, you are the commander of your own domain!
Blending together traditional RPG systems, tycoon mechanics, and a fantasy overworld, Merchant aims to reimagine the traditional mobile RPG. In Merchant, players take the role of a shopkeeper who must manage a team of Heroes and Crafters. Heroes are sent out on quests in order to fight enemies and gather materials. Crafters then use those materials to create weapons and armor. As the shopkeeper, players must balance their micro-economies between selling items for gold and crafting items to better ensure success for the Heroes.
Warning- This game is using the Beta of the "Corona SDK HTML5 build":https://coronalabs.com/blog/2018/03/20/html5-builds-are-now-in-open-beta/ , so you may run into some unexpected issues. If you do, please let me know via the bug report in Kongregate. Thanks!

"Error: Failed to sync IDBFS" getting that on nearly everything.
Are you on Firefox or Chrome? If Chrome, try enabling cookies and turn off ad blocker, that should resolve it until I get a patch to fix it.

Definitely needs some kind of way to auto-quest, to get a hero to repeatedly go to the same place until they are below a certain % of hp or something like that. I do not see any real idle aspect to this game.
As you get deeper in the game, the timers increase (as battles get harder) and you unlock the ability to send heroes on multi-quests. As far as full idle mode, that is not currently something the game offers, but I'm certainly considering it for browser.

Fun game, awful lot of clicking between menus though. Make a bigger window, shrink the pixels and you could fit everything in one screen
Thanks for the feedback!

I'm not going to lie. This game just made me want to fire up DosBox and play The Bard's Tale.
Ya see? This dude gets it.

This time it happened with clothworking -- I can't grab the tunic because it doesn't think it is done.
