The merchant update is going REALLY well. I was incredibly surprised at how easy it was to get them into the world with the new framework I spent so long developing--it took less than an hour! I'll be adding the storage merchant first.
Right now, you can click on merchants and interact with them (it just brings up a blank menu though). All that's left for the storage guy is to add the database, insert a bit of code to manage it, and fill out the menu.
