Trader's Tablet - Investment, Stock Market, and Heavily Expanded Business
Turn your farm into a financial empire. Invest in stocks, take companies public, become a CEO — and decide how clean you want to stay. Features a living stock market, corporate crime with real criminal trials, and a seasonal Business Expo.
What's new
Trader's Tablet 1.0.0 — the first public release. Everything below is live:
Markets & Trading
- A full stock market of valley companies with prices driven by multi-day trends, momentum, seasonal shifts, and sector-wide news
- Buy, sell, and short-sell, with a live price chart and detail view for every company
- Flat 1% trading fee per leg; player trades never move the market price
- Multi-day market storylines: mergers, regulator probes, breakthroughs, and sector booms and crashes that build over days and resolve either way
Your Company
- Incorporate your farm, then unlock upgrade divisions, contracts, wholesale buying, and a positionable brand
- Hold an IPO: sell a percentage of your company for cash, keep the rest as founder shares, and trade your own FARM stock live on the exchange
- FARM's share price anchors to your real revenue, brand, and reputation
- Overflow banking: gold past the wallet cap routes automatically into savings
The Boardroom
- Buy into the CEO seat of any public company and manage output, bonuses, risk, investments, and board decisions
Corruption & Consequences
- Skim the treasury, cook the books, buy insider tips, run pump-and-dumps, evade taxes, bribe officials, and hire scapegoats
- A single VTC Scrutiny system tracks everything you own; lay low and it cools over time
- Once Scrutiny runs hot, busts escalate into criminal prosecutions: fight them in court, bribe the judge, or take a plea — with asset seizures, market bans, and a full courtroom outcome on the line
- Post-conviction, the whole valley reacts, with unique confrontation dialogue from townsfolk
The Business Expo
- A twice-yearly festival competition (Summer & Winter) in a fully decorated town plaza with booths, a crowd, and a banquet
- Four businesses compete for Valley Business of the Season; earn enough revenue and your company becomes the featured entrant
- A branching backstage speech tree with real outcomes, plus the option to bribe the judges and risk public disqualification
- Win an engraved, dated trophy you can place in your home; lose, and the rival who beat you taunts you until you reclaim the title
- Marked on your in-game calendar
Living Valley
- Villagers react to your growing empire, your CEO appointments, and your Expo results through dynamic dialogue
- Friendship drifts with your reputation and brand; the town gossips when your name is hot
