- 《Pursuit of Mercantile Power》Devlog #7: Demo GamePlay!! - 21 February 2026
Pursuit of Mercantile PowerSet in an ancient-style village, the game blends escort-mission combat with multi-institution management—forcing you to choose between “making money” and “seizing power.”You can join the Escort Guild to take missions, gather resources, craft equipment, and steadily grow your combat strength.Or you can enter the Commerce Guild to trade shares, compete for ownership, and influence an enterprise’s fate through stock price swings. Because the demo currently has limited buildings available, it only supports a unique semi-closed-loop village economy for now: money circulates among villagers, the government, the bank, the commerce guild, and other institutions. The Early Access version will deliver a fully closed-loop economy.Stock prices are influenced by an enterprise’s total assets and overall Prosperity—so you can play it safe with steady management, or attempt h…
- 《商道逐权 Pursuit of Mercantile Power》 Devlog #6: Yin–Yang Martial Arts - 16 January 2026
Hi everyone~ In the previous post, we covered how the equipment system works. Today, let’s talk about the Martial Arts system in Pursuit of Mercantile Power.Martial Arts are divided into three schools: Yin-Yang, Yin, and Yang. Simple enough, right? ~Each school has nine tiers to break through. Every time you突破 (break through) a tier, you unlock the martial art technique or passive skill tied to that tier.On top of that, each tier has its own level that can be upgraded. And yes—levels can even affect the skill’s attack coefficient, so martial arts are a big deal.Also, combat in Pursuit of Mercantile Power is real-time action combat. You’ll fight in many different situations, including escort missions, bounty hunts, village defense, and bandit campaigns.Qi Stance SwitchingOn the battlefield, you can freely switch your Qi stance anytime, anywhere. However, there is a very short cooldown af…
- Pursuit of Mercantile Power — Devlog #5: Equipment, But Different - 5 January 2026
Equipment Progression Update This update focuses on equipment progression in GuYuan Village — from forging weapons and armor at the blacksmith, to refining equipment directly onto your character, and then building your power through gems and enchantments.First, let’s clear up the most easily misunderstood rule:Equipment uses “one-time refinement.” Once refined, it binds directly to the player. When you refine a new piece into the same slot, the old one is automatically destroyed.This is not a “inventory management” game. The core of the equipment system is decision-making and progression, not hoarding items.1) Equipment isn’t just “equipping” — it’s refining onto the bodyIn the equipment screen, you can see each gear slot (weapon, gloves, upper body, pants, shoes, ring, accessory, ancient book, etc.). After refinement, the item becomes part of your character — think of it as turning mat…
- Pursuit of Mercantile Power — Devlog #4: The Farm, GuYuan Village’s Lifeline - 12 December 2025
Hello everyone—this is a devlog for Pursuit of Mercantile Power (GuYuan Village).In the previous posts, we covered the Escort Agency, the Commerce Guild, and the Bank—systems where the money is obvious and loud. This time, we’re talking about the part that looks the most “simple,” but is actually the most lethal: the Farm, grain, and population.In GuYuan Village, every grain of rice in your bowl was paid for—in real silver—by someone, ahead of time.1) Another Cash Flow: “Grain Flow”Grain in GuYuan Village isn’t conjured out of thin air, and it’s not just “bookkept at month-end.”Each month, the system estimates how much grain the village will consume based on population. Then the first key transaction happens:The Village (community granary) pre-buys a batch of grain from the FarmGrain enters the village granary, while silver moves from the village fund pool into the farm’s fund poolAfter…
- Pursuit of Mercantile Power - Devlog #3: The Crossroads of the Village’sCashFlow - 5 December 2025
In Pursuit of Mercantile Power, the Commerce Guild isn’t an item shop, and it’s not just a tiny stall doing “buy low, sell high.” It’s more like the village’s intersection of cash flow, livelihood supplies, and share trading.If the Bank handles deposits and loans, and the Escort Agency handles combat and escort runs, then the Commerce Guild handles the annoying-but-essential stuff: procurement, stockpiling, pricing, dividends, membership fees, and hostile takeovers.This devlog focuses on what the Commerce Guild actually does in the game—and what kinds of trouble you can cause inside it.1) The Commerce Guild’s Role in the VillageIn the setting, the Commerce Guild has three core jobs:A distribution hub for livelihood goods and grainIt buys everyday essentials from other villages and resells them to villagers.It can also buy grain from the farm to buffer food pressure when population spike…
- Pursuit of Mercantile Power — Devlog #2: The Village Cash Flow’s Hidden Patron - 29 November 2025
Hi everyone—this is the creator, MiFeng. Today I’m back with a quick follow-up on the content and development progress of Pursuit of Mercantile Power.Today’s topic: the Bank.In Pursuit of Mercantile Power, the bank isn’t a decorative background building—it’s the true “heart” of the village’s cash flow. Everyone’s silver, every enterprise’s dividends, loans, interest, and financing all pass through here.1) The Bank’s Role in the Village: Creating ValueIn the current version, the bank roughly serves these roles:Vault for depositors: The player, major enterprises (Escort Agency, Commerce Guild, Farm, Government), and villagers can deposit idle money to earn interest.Loan broker: When an enterprise’s cash chain breaks, it comes here first to beg for liquidity. If the player needs money to acquire shares, loans can be used as leverage.Settlement center: Many money movements circulate through…
