(7th SDEEP Devlog) Meet the Shopkeeper


Meet Tish! The slums' ever-teasing shark-toothed shopkeeper. Similar to most people who work down here you and her come from the capital.

Entering her shop will occasionally spark conversations about the locals, your salvor, and your relationship with her. She'll often find ways to turn the conversation into a way to antagonize you. Just keep in mind the harder you resist, the further she goes. On an unrelated note she could be considered your direct competitor in the game due to her also being a dispatcher with active salvors working for her. 

She has a few different small variation images for her various moods and styles along with unique dialogue. 

Currently, she sells:

  • Equipment for missions that you'll need to stock up on in order to access everything. 
  • Equipment modifiers: These are toggles that change the nature of your equipment slot. They are designed to make certain types of missions easier or faster.
    •  (Default) Explorer: Increase your visual range by 20% per equipment held. 10% slower movement per equipment/treasure over 10.
    •  Diver: Increase your swim speed by 10% per equipment. 5% slower movement per equipment/treasure over 10.
    •  Back Pack: No movement speed lost on equipment picked up.
    •  No equipment lost while opening doors. 5% slower movement per equipment/treasure over 10.

She also has a tips jar if you feel like diving into her character. Her interactions can be treated like a puzzle where choosing the opposite of what she wants will continue the puzzle. Interaction requirements caused by the tips jar will scale up quickly so I recommend being careful when donating to her until cash is no longer a problem for you. Finally, anything outside of her spoken interactions are unrelated to how well you play along with her, so don't worry about failing them.


The equipment modifiers were brainstormed with help from the discord: https://discord.gg/bvdUTeh93a

Steam storefront hit its iconic snag and I have a feeling even after a quick revisory of the other game CDares may hit it too. So that'll be active before next week's devlog hopefully.

hm.... now make custom shops and equipment (and perhaps some template and pictures for people with bad drawing skill like me :D )

Hmm, a template for pictures sparks some ideas. 🤔
