Hi,

I've bought and played the game little 3 years ago. One very annoying thing was the shop interface. You come there to sell stuff and they won't not because they have no money or it's trash, but because there is no room in the shop window. You have to play Tetris with the items there so as to sell a couple of swords. One of the suggested solutions has been some kind of "black hole" area in the store window where you drop your stuff so it doesn't jam the NPC shop window.

Today I saw this screenshot in the weapons update announcement: http://lofigames.com/wp-content/uploads/weapons.jpg. The window looks just like before, I believe that I will only be able to sell only one sword similar to the ones on display, and if I have a piece of armor like the one in the lower right corner, it just won't fit.

Will this ever change? What exactly does this add to gameplay?

Thanks.

it's already been changed some time ago.
shopkeeper space is pretty much unlimited. scroll down in the window.
money though will stay limited.

there is also a auto arrange button for all backpacks and shopkeepers and your personal storage.

don't know what you mean by junk, the NPC shops will buy everything even goods you stole long as it's not from the same faction. ( or faction tagged items, can't sell those any more ) and they usually tell you if they will buy or not in the info window,
Do you believe the sexes should be equal?
Oh heavens no.
Then Men would become unmanageable

You've missed the little scrollbar right there :) No more tetris, may Pajitnov have mercy on our souls.

As Hatsune said though, money would still be limited for some shopkeepers, but others will have dozens of thousands of cats, like weapon traders, so good luck, and don't get caught by Fogmen! :)

Awesome news. I have no problem with the NPC funds being the limit, and am very glad that their inventory size is no longer a problem. Can't wait for a "feature complete" version to jump back in. Thanks for the good news.
