- Thank you all for leaving a comment! - 12 April 2023
Hello all! I wanted to say Very Big Thank You all for leaving a comment on steam! And for all of you on discord and reddit who shared their ideas about the future updates. With your help i've started making an update with some features that i hope will make the game more interesting and will make a room for new updates. These are proposed features: - special foods with bonuses - new craft task for workers - new item group - artifacts I am planning to release this update in May this year. Thanks once again for contributing!
- Iron and clay update - 26 March 2023
Hello everyone! I had this idea in my mind when i started making this game, that player would not have easy access to all resources to force trading a little more, but it was not clear enough :D Some of you did not know how to go further so in version 1.0.6 i added both clay and iron resources that can be mineable by workers. These resources are limited like stones, can be healed and can still be traded. Coal and gold might be added in next version. Thanks all and have fun :)
- Please leave a comment :) - 14 March 2023
Hello everyone! First of all thank you all for playing Amber Trail, hope it is fun :) And I want to make it even better but in order to do that i need your help. Please leave a comment on steam why like or dislike this game. Based on feedback I can make better updates to the game. Also first 10 comments are important for steam to put a grade on this game. After that, Amber Trail will be shown to more people on steam, so this is very important for game visibility. Thank you all once again! :)

- New skills and skill menu upgrade - 24 February 2023
Hello everyone! I wanted to share whats new in v1.0.4 This week i was upgrading the skills view. Now it shows skill information on hover, and shows you on the grid which skills are needed in order to unlock skill you want. New skills! I've also added 12 new skills so that players have more variety in building their character. There is also a place for further skills if needed. Thank you all, and have fun in Amber Trail :)
- Management Update! - 17 February 2023
Hello all! I wanted to share a new feature that is available now with new version 1.0.3. Task Priorities Management I've spent many hours on thinking which tasks, workers should do first and i was never fully satisfied with the results. So now players can set priorities of tasks by themselves. You can even order that eating or sleeping is not so important. Your workers will not like it but, its your choice :D Food Management In previous versions, workers could eat whatever was available. Now you can set what can or cannot be eaten. This feature will make it easier to gather more of some special ingredients needed for crafting. Thank you all, and have fun in Amber Trail :)

- Release update. v1.0.2 - 10 February 2023
Big things that happend this update: Soldiers now gets hungry and workers have new job which is feeding hungry soldiers. Workers and soldiers that doesnt get food on time are hungry and do things slower and lose health over time. Items like stones, berries (resources) can now disappear if away and not picked up for a while. Torches, pots and other items like this will not disappear. Cemetery looks different now, more like a cemetery :D Also: Some tips now will appear at the beginning, guiding players a little more. I've added autosave, just in case. Balanced game a little more, added new monster and fixed some bugs. Added some missing tooltips and items descriptions. Updated building package process that improved overall performance of the game. Game will be released on time, which is this sunday :) 12 Feb 2023

- Release update - 13 December 2022
Hello all! I know i have not posted for a while but wanted to focus on polishing the game so I had to drop social for a while. But now I am back and cannot wait to tell you all new features and changes I made to make game better. I will try to post more often and try to bring more attention to the game. Testing One minor bug fixed. Made a lot of tweeks to the game to make it more balanced. Early game do not feel overwhelming and late game is not that easy as some suggested. Release Demo with fixed fighting and trades is still not ready and I apologize, but i hope to release it this weekend. I also wanted to prepare version of the game for linux and i hope to make it work. Not sure if it is going to be available this weekend aswell. In the next full version 0.1.7 there will be bug fix, new monster, feature to haggle trades, balanced trading offers, there will also be a attitude of other…
- Release update - 7 November 2022
Release update After releasing the Demo i gathered some very good feedback, thanks for playing and commenting on the game. This helps me a lot. The main issues was with fighting. For a lot of players, fighting was hard and felt not entirely fair. Which is why in next update range of attack and hitboxes are bigger. Now it is easier to hit enemy and fighting is way better. Next issue was with Roadhouse, it was too complicated for the players to buy tinctures and make fair enough of money, now it is simpler. Roadhouse converts fame to gold overtime. You can turn it on and off depends on whether you want to spend fame or not. No longer tinctures are required. Trading feels like some resources like clay or iron are almost impossible to get. Also at the beginning there are offers where player has to trade something that is not availiable at the beginning. Now generating trade offers is based…
