Rekindled Trails news & patch notes

Hello there, dear cozy fans!

The flowers are blooming, and we’ve been thinking with the team: how can we make this spring even better for everyone following Rekindled Trails?

Well… the answer was pretty simple: by giving the game a permanent

Price drop to $11.99

Starting today, April 7th! We want to make the journey as accessible as possible for all our new players.

But that’s not all! To celebrate this new chapter, we’ve also packed this update with some long-awaited treats:

• Handcrafted French Localization: Say goodbye to automated translations! We’ve manually rewritten the entire French version to ensure every bit of lore and dialogue feels just right.

• The Fortune & Trails Bundle: A special studio pack featuring both Rekindled Trails and our new game, Fortune Seller.

• The "Chickum Trail" Bundle: A fun collaboration with our friends at Go! Go! Mister Chickums!

• Surprise Guest: Keep your eyes peeled... another special bundle is dropping next week!

Huge thanks to all of you for your continued support. We hope you enjoy these new ways to play and save! And as always, if you want to chat with us or share your feedback, we would be happy to see you on our Discord:

Hey!

As we're kicking off the Autumn Sale (-25%!!!), we'd like to give you an update on the current state of the game's localization.

When Rekindled Trails released (already 3 months, phew...), you pointed us a few flaws in the game's translations in a few languages.

We read every feedback, and we've revamped the localization for these languages:

• Simplified Chinese (fixed translation, not automatic anymore)

• Traditional Chinese

• German (fixed translation, not automatic anymore)

That being said, we're also a small team, so please bear with us as we're working on the others that need to be reworked. 😅

Finally, we'd like to give a special thanks to AnJetCat who literally carried the Chinese localization 🥰

Good luck in Aurteris,

NAGA & Kiwick team

• Replaced auto-generated localization for the following languages:
  • Simplified Chinese
  • German
• Improved localization for Spanish
• Added new localization - Traditional Chinese
• Fixed changing language in the options menu not updating the selected language in the main menu

• Fixed Blackjack issues

Hello friends,

Since the release of June 30th, we’ve been reading your reviews, and our hearts are full. Your kind words, thoughtful feedback, and cozy vibes have truly lit up our little developer campfire.

When we set out to create Rekindled Trails, we hoped to craft a gentle journey that would feel like a warm blanket on a rainy day, and seeing so many of you connect with that feeling means the world to us.

From tales of relaxing afternoons spent in the forest to screenshots of your favorite peaceful spots, each message reminds us why we do what we do.

So from the whole team: thank you for walking these trails with us. ♥

We’ve got more peaceful paths and small surprises planned for the future, but for now… take a deep breath, stretch your legs, and enjoy the calm.

See you on the trail. ✨ Kiwick & NAGA
