Hey everyone,
It’s been almost two months since Trench Tales launched into Early Access, and I want to give a huge thank you to all of you who have supported the game, shared feedback, and helped steer it forward. Every comment, bug report, and review means a lot — especially to a solo developer like me.
Lore Spotlight – Up or Out, a Short Story by A. Byss
If you're curious about the world behind the trenches, check out Up or Out written by A. Byss
— a gritty short story set in the Trench Tales universe. It follows a desperate private caught between ambition, betrayal, and survival, giving a closer look at the everyday horrors and politics of war beyond the battlefield.
The story is written in English. I recommend using DeepL Translator, which lets you upload the PDF and download a translated version in your language.
Progress Highlights
60+ bugs fixed so far (and counting!)
New items added as loot and equipment
Improvements across AI, UI, controls, tutorial and performance
Visual updates and ongoing work on level art and characters
I am doing my best to keep regular patches and content updates continue
Still a Long Road Ahead…
The game is still in development, but things are looking very positive. Your continued feedback helps shape what’s next, and seeing the game reach “Mostly Positive” on Steam (even briefly!) always brings a big smile to my face.
I’m always looking forward to your feedback and ideas.
