Merchants and Vendors


The system for purchasing, selling, and identifying items in Neversummer 4 is a completely custom-designed solution. To allow for greater control on prices, merchant inventory, easily purchase multiple items, the ability to "try before you buy", and simply to make the system more "realistic", the NS4 Team decided to reinvent the wheel and go with our own design.

This system allows the developers to dynamically change prices and inventory on-the-fly via the database, and to provide a relatively simple method of adding and removing merchants and vendors. The two categories are broken down in further detail here.
