Future of Trail of Ayash (TOA)
First of all, I want to thank everyone who reported bugs and provided detailed feedback.
If there’s anything you would like to see in the next update, please let us know in the comments below.
Since the early access release, we have been gathering feedback and working on fixing issues. I am focusing on things that went wrong, removing pointless fetch quests, reducing backtracking, and much more.
Our goal is to make the content more engaging and less dull. We plan to make exploration more rewarding by creating unique sets of armor for players who venture into the most dangerous areas of our world.
We are also working on improving the robotic voice acting that has been affecting the game. Some dialogues will be rewritten to better fit the world.
We also plan to create more accurate maps for players, including a large overview map of the areas where the game takes place. This will help players understand the travel routes and the scale of distances between different locations.
We are adding new technology to the game, such as Lumen lighting and improved AI. We are focusing on optimization to ensure the game runs smoothly and uses fewer computer resources.
We also want to add more customization options for the player's house. Additionally, we are considering adding a small camp that players can upgrade using money, which would provide various benefits.

Trail of Ayash Launches Out of Early Access This September!
We’ve remade all the levels, improved the storyline, and added many new quests, locations, and items to the game. Thousands of bugs have been fixed, and we’ve included a few epic battles at the end.
Trail of Ayash is now ready to come out of Early Access!
Of course, updates will continue as usual, but we’ve reached a point in development where we can proudly say we’ve created a world we truly believe in. While it’s not without its bugs, the sheer scale of the game—especially for a two-person dev team—means that we simply couldn’t accomplish everything exactly as we envisioned.
Like many first-time studios, we faced the challenge of balancing our ambitious goals with the resources available. Rest assured, we’re not planning any DLCs or sequels until we’ve done everything possible to make the game as polished as it can be

1.3 Major Update! Locations revamped! Getting closer to the final release!
It's been a while since our last update, but we've been hard at work to bring you something special. We've completely overhauled the early levels, remaking every location and adding more loot.
We've improved the quests, removing tedious fetch tasks and introducing more engaging objectives. We added areas only accessible with the squirrel spell, reminiscent of the Risen series.
Now, almost every ladder in the game is climbable and often leads to hidden treasures. Many waterfalls now conceal mysteries behind them.
Some new quests feature multiple endings, and the Sea Side storyline has been entirely rebuilt from scratch, focusing on more combat and exploration instead of filler content. There's much more to discover in this update!
First Level "Prison Island"
The first level, 'Prison Island,' has been both narratively and graphically remade (with new quests added).
We've added a new cave in the first level that introduces the player to a hidden loot mechanic. This mechanic involves using specific spells to transform into animals to collect the loot.
The caves now look much better and contain more content.
At the end of the level the Vikings of the Eric the Red now get lost in a proper drakkar
We have added many more cutscenes
We've added written letters for more environmental storytelling. They not only narrate the game's story but also often provide hints about where loot might be hidden.
Second level "Great Forest"
We've added a hidden quest in the Great Forest. You'll need to follow a written diary to locate an ancient tomb and possibly its treasure!
We have added a lot of verticality to the level. Now completionists will need to use teleport spells, possess the eagle spell, and possess the squirrel spell to gather all the loot on the level.
We have added a completely new area that was previously empty and introduced a new complex quest with multiple choices.
Third level "Sea Side"
We have completely scrapped the old questline on the seaside and replaced it with a new one. We removed any backtracking and time sinks, focusing instead on fighting and exploration.
The seaside has been graphically enhanced. We've reduced the emptiness of most of the level and added several points of interest.
We have also added a few unique weapons in hard-to-find locations.
We have added more cutscenes to enhance the narrative. As Ayash is a fugitive, many warriors will try to hunt him down.
MISC
All of the game icons have been changed.
Fixed bug when keybindings were set to default after restarting the game
Fixed disappearing dialogues during sequences
You can drop/deactivate torches depending on the gameplay
Increased cohesion in dialogues
Tweaks for arrow effects
More immersive arrows
Added more Viking weapons and fixed some of the handles on existing ones
Tweaks related to lip sync (still a WIP)
Added more environmental effects like fire damage or single-use recipes
Adjusted armor values
Added new clothing equipment
New sound effects (SFX)
Fixed hairdresser rotation bug
Added Unstuck Option in the menu
Added party banter
And much more, but it's been a while and we can't list everything.
We plan to release the final version of the game this year if we can keep up the grind and resolve a few issues. Once that's all done, we'll move on to localizing it into several languages (Spanish, German, Russian, Polish).

Devlog 1.0 New Voice Acting, Characters, Spells
At present, we anticipate dedicating 1-2 months to the upcoming major update, which will introduce alterations to the main storyline and refine certain aspects of level design to reduce monotony in specific areas of the game. Additionally, we will continue to enhance other mechanics, gradually moving towards the final build of the game.
<*> Most of the Voice Acting has been remade <*> Magic projectiles have been revamped, and 15 new spells have been added <*> Bind arrows fix <*> Honovi's dialogue fix <*> Optimization of birds on great forest <*> Increased the number of guards in settlements <*> Allowing clicking on different categories in the top menu slot <*> When dragging items, now it provides a highlight for the items <*> Arrow collides directly on twigs model now <*> First death cutscene sound work fixed <*> Tutorial Message "Minimap" - Spelling error with blue targets: "companions" fixed <*> Missing voice line with Guamowe fixed. <*> New Bagwaji dialogue lines <*> The dodge-roll's sound effect has been fixed <*> Spelling fixes for our dialogue with Kireama <*> We added legend to the map <*> The player's knockback animation lasted too long, now it's fixed <*> We made some minor changes on the seaside regarding voice lines and climbable objects <*> The recipe-buying bug related to money has been fixed <*> Wiji's new dialogue added <*> The face of NPC Kuruman will now move during dialogue. <*> Completely overhauled the UI and streamlined all mechanics to enhance understanding and navigation <*> Fixed a bug where, when attacking enemies from afar while they are in a group, it would only trigger the specific target's aggression, while the rest of the group would ignore the attack. This was the easiest way to deal with any groups. <*> Added new NPC character models to reduce repetition <*> Changed spells and their effects to have more impact <*> Added remaining sound effects to animals <*> Asaloq now will be visibly wounded <*> This bug has been fixed. Within the same village, near the coast, the citizens weren't using their hammers correctly (hitting the wall with the hilt, not the hammer-head) and stood too far from the wall, leaving a considerable empty space between the NPC and the wall.
