I love the idea of in-game economy rapidly degrading from monetary to barter as the plague rages on in Pathologic. How did you design what changes will the prices on the goods undergo in this extreme situation, where did you draw your inspiration/reference on the topic, and how will this system change in the remake?

As an economist by trade, I always ask this kind of questions to gamedevs, so sorry, if it's boring.

Will Voronika's story have any further progress? If yes, in what form?

We who participated in the ARG grew on her pretty strong.

This is the exact way that was in my mind to create a perfect simulation of this kind of situation, I am rather hyped to hear that you do that. Sounds beyond great, if you manage to pull it off.

Looking forward to experience what it will become!

Hey Swen, David, Jan! I'd like to seize this opportunity to ask you about one of the features that is obvious for the real word, but commonly left out in fantasy worlds. This feature is monetary system. How can you describe it in OS? As far as I remember from DD it was a simple monometal monetary system with heave reliance on barter during trade. But who issues the coins? Is there a standart currency for the whole land, or different gold coins for every, say, city or race? This kind of thoughts may unveil some hidden potential for minor story events like forgery and stuff.

And will you be considering now to add at least a name for the Rivellon currency instead of simply calling it gold pieces?

Sorry, mates, I am an economist by trade, that kind of stuff always interests me.

P.S. Baaah!

Well, in gameplay terms it might be acceptable, from my point of view. Though not so realistic.

What about naming the Rivellon currency? Will you at least consider this option? :) It might add even more depth to the world.
