We worked very hard for months, with days and nights spent to design and code all the new features and improvements! Here's a detailed list of all the new things Dealer's Life 2 contains compared to the first one:
All Dealerâs Life original mechanics and features
Overall graphics improvement: now, this is a great change
20 new avatars: you can choose to be whomever you want! Every avatar has its own skills set so choose wisely
700+ items: from yachts to candlesticks, from swords to action figures⌠you name it, we have it
Infinite customers: now with improved procedural generation, youâll encounter countless different customers, each with their own name, characteristics and wonderful appearance
Pawned items: a pawned item can be paid a fraction of its price and the itemâs owner could get it back after a while by settling the loan, but if the owner does not show up youâve got a nice new item at a very low price
Stolen items: if you happen to get your hands on a stolen item youâd better sell it real quick if you donât want troubles with local police
Fake and replica items: fake items can now be converted into replicas. A replica item is a lot less valuable than a fake item but selling it wonât affect your reputation at all. Will you pay the price to stay clean?
100+ new encounters: funny events, strange situations, crazy deals! Itâs unlikely youâll manage to see all of them in a single game
11 new special characters: from shady guys to famous collectors, every character will be a surprise!
Random events: anything can happen but you decide! Every event has choices to take but sometimes a specific skill or employee could really make the difference
Quests: many kinds of missions and challenges to face
Overarching story: from the suburbs to the top of the sky, the whole story!
Reputation based events: keep an eye on your reputation since different things could happen if youâre an honest dealer or a criminal
Bank: a place where you can ask for loans or invest money
Item Catalogue: a new section where you can unlock and collect every single item of the game and read interesting anecdotes about real items and collectors
Trophy Hall: a new section where you can see your most valuable deals and keep your very own collection of items
My Home: a new section where you can manage your own house, vehicle and landscape to create the home of your dreams
New employee: you can hire among 10 different types of employees, including the brand new bouncer, each one with his own unique abilities
Auctions improvements: auctions are now visually great, more challenging and quicker to play. Selling auction has now its own animation
Difficulty level: if you find the game too easy or too hard ;)
Improved game statistics: to get a clearer view of your current situation
50+ game achievements: will you be able to unlock them all?
Multiple saves: now you can keep up to 3 games at the same time
New localizations: we now support a total of 11 languages
And, for all the players that already know us, here's a recap on what is specifically included in the 1.0 update:
50 new encounters: bringing the total number of special encounters now to over 100!
3 new special characters: two great personalities and a very special VIP that will appear in the late game
Quests: some special characters will now propose special tasks that will bring great rewards should you succeed
Overarching story: from the suburbs to the top of the sky, the whole story!
New item selection mechanic for encounters: in some encounters you will be asked to give away an item. Now you can choose what item to give away instead of having a random item removed from your inventory
End game changed: with the introduction of a main plot we changed the end game accordingly
20 new newspaper articles: these are special articles related to famous personalities of the game
New item details window: visual improvements of the item details window for Item Catalogue and Trophy Hall sections
20+ curiosities about items and collectors: many items are now linked to specific anecdotes of real life items or collectors! You can read them in the item details window of the Item Catalogue or in the detail view of items in your inventory by selecting the âiâ button
50+ Achievements: will you be able to unlock them all?
New share buttons: now you can show to everybody the craziest items and customers that you encounter!

Lots of minor improvements and bug fixes
Achievements are unlocked at the end of each in-game day. So if you've been playing before, load the save and do an in-game day to unlock the achievements you are eligible for.

Important Information for the Launch Tomorrow
Hello and welcome to all Great Dealers!
Tomorrow we will finally release the 1.0 update! While there will be a separate update with all the details, we wanted to let you know ahead of time one important information that would otherwise get buried in all the news:
We recommend you to start a new game to fully enjoy the whole experience
This is because the 1.0 update includes, among many other things, an overarching story and you wouldn't wanna start right in the middle.
Thanks for your consideration.

Release Date Announcement! đ
Hello and welcome to all Great Dealers out there!
We are happy to announce that Dealer's Life 2 releases February 15th, at the following times!! đ
10am PST 7pm CET 2am CST (16th)
We will list all the updates that are coming in detail with a future launch announcement but for now a few big things you can look forward to:
More Quests
Overarching story
Achievements
New languages: French, Russian, Korean & Thai
As a reminder, we already had to publish the achievements because unfortunately Steam does not allow to test achievements unless published. But you will not be able to unlock any achievements before release date. We know that's not optimal but don't worry, we are already tracking the achievements in the save game so when Dealer's Life 2 releases you will automatically unlock all the ones that you already would have unlocked!
We hope you are as excited as we are, let us know what you think in the comments! ËsteamhappyË And if you like the game, please consider writing a review, these can help a lot in spreading the word about Dealer's Life 2! <3

Dealerâs Life 2 - Update #33: Homeware
Hello and welcome to all Great Dealers!
Today we are happy to announce the release of the new Update #33! :dlgift:
Update #33
New Item Pack #24 - Homeware: 2 desks and 10 candlesticks. Keep the candles away from the desks though, they are made out of massive wood and we don't want them to go up in flames.
This is the final item pack before our Big 1.0 Update. We will reveal the exact release date very soon. We can tell you already though that February will be a great month for fans of Dealer's Life 2! :dl2_diamond:
At one point achievements will show up in the coming weeks but you will not be able to unlock them yet. For testing purposes we unfortunately have to make them public before the 1.0 update. So please keep that in mind when people start asking about why the achievements are not working in the Steam forums. ^^
That's all for today, let us know what you think in the comments. And if you like the game, please consider writing a review, these can help a lot in spreading the word about Dealer's Life 2! <3
