Hello everyone!
Bayaya is a very Czech game, so to speak. It’s based on a traditional fairy tale of the same name. While it’s a beloved classic here, it is probably unknown in other countries. Please, let us tell you a little bit about the story that will be present in Bayaya! Of course, a spoiler warning is due!
A long time ago…
Our story begins at the start of the protagonist’s life. He, along with his slightly younger twin brother, was born to the queen. The king, however, is on a long military expedition. The boys grow up, spending time playing, not thinking much about the strife of others.
Due to the reasons not understood by him, the queen and others start prioritising his younger brother’s needs. While it hurts to be neglected, the prince stays at the court. One day, the king comes back, and the boys finally get to know their father. The court intrigue grows thicker as the younger brother is presented as the heir to the throne… The only creature that understands how you feel is a magical speaking horse you were once gifted.
Seeing how you get pushed to the margin of importance at the castle, you decide to leave it. Loads of people live outside of the court and do pretty well, after all. Hopping on the back of your talking horse, you ride away to make a name for yourself. The world is not a very safe place, though. In order to remain concealed and not abuse your pedigree, the prince starts to say only “bayaya”, a word with no meaning.
The prince comes to a foreign castle after wandering and helping people in need. He becomes a member of the court and falls in love with the princess. However, life over there quickly goes awry, as a three-headed dragon demands that the princess be handed over…
What to expect?
The story, while rather faithful to the source material, grants plenty of room for freedom. There will be plenty of both relaxing and exciting adventures awaiting you. The procedurally generated world and hopefully the modding support will also provide many additional hours and replayability to the main game. Hope you’ll join us for the experience!
The early access aspect
As you’ve probably heard, we want to release the game in early access. This means that we want to have two things:
A substantial part of the story implemented in the game for its EA release.
The rest of the story will be added over a couple of months.
We’ve been working hard on the game for so many years now, we know what to more or less expect from the development. Also, we really hope that the modding support will provide plenty of content and additional quests, and tasks to do in the game.
