- Trails from Zero v1.5.5 Patch Notes - 10 September 2026
i everyone, it's been a while!Today we are releasing a patch for Trails from Zero which brings feature parity with the new releases on PS5 and Switch 2. Obviously, the PC version was already quite feature-rich, but there are two new settings worth mentioning.Texture StyleThe first one is called "Texture Style", and implements something that was requested -- not quite frequently, but a few times. In short, this setting allows switching between the modernised textures used in the PC version so far ("Modern"), and the original textures the initial release of the game shipped with ("Classic"). The latter can also be set to point sampling for a very old-school look.Here's a comparison:Color SpaceThe second new setting allows you to select between two color spaces for the game: sRGB and bt.709. Different versions of the game on different prior platforms were presented in either of these, so i…
- Trails from Zero v1.4.13 Patch Notes - 9 December 2024
Hi everyone, today we are releasing a patch for Trails from Zero which improves how the game interacts with platform achievement APIs. This should prevent performance issues in some circumstances, specifically when a large number of achievements was already unlocked. Note that this issue surfaced due to changes in how Steam deals with repeated achievement API calls, and this change affects many of our prior releases in similar ways. We are committed to patching all affected releases, but this has taken some time, especially for cases where we need to re-build games for which we already archived various development resources. Cheers, Peter "Durante" Thoman, PH3

- Trails from Zero v1.4.2 Patch Notes - 27 December 2022
Hi everyone, version 1.4.2 brings with it several highly-requested features, a pretty nice rendering feature that wasn't really all that highly requested, an important bug fix, and many minor improvements and fixes. Let's start with the highlights. Major New Features Water rendering update: water now optionally uses a pixel shader which distorts the reflections/refractions. We tuned this for most bodies of water in the game and it looks pretty neat. Added an "Auto Text Advance" feature. Note that there are a few events in-game where this will not apply since they require manual advance. Check and trigger achievements on loading saves. This means that if you e.g. import a save from a playthrough of a different version of the game, applicable achievements will now trigger. (Note: this mostly applies to collection-type achievements) Major Bug Fixes Resolved an issue which could cause portr…

- PC Version Overview (Part 3 - Final) - 27 September 2022
Hi everyone, and welcome to the final post in this series on the upcoming Trails from Zero release! In case you are just joining us, there were two prior parts: in the first part of the series, I talked about a slew of general and PC-specific improvements we made to the game, including support for arbitrary resolution, framerate and aspect ratios, the message log, and full mouse support both for gameplay and in menus. The second part was all about how we selected, generated and sometimes recreated the highest quality assets for map textures, character sprites, and the UI. Originally, I planned for this final installment to deal primarily with platform features, a bit about optimization, and perhaps also some information on the more obscure almost antique bugs we fixed for our release of the game. However, after the first post, we were contacted by many people who pointed out various fea…

- Trails from Zero - PC Version Overview (Part 2) - 6 August 2022
Hi everyone! As I mentioned in the first part of the series — be sure to check it out if you haven't done so yet — I originally intended for this to be the usual one-off behind the scenes blog post I do for our releases, but the sheer amount of changes and improvements in Zero made that infeasible, So here is the second part in the series, this time focusing on game assets, and more specifically on sprites, UI textures, map textures, and even the maps themselves. In the first post I noted that to fully understand this version, it's helpful to know the history of Trails from Zero's releases. You can find the same summary of this history here again as a refresher: The game was originally released for PSP by Falcom, with a Chinese PC release licensed to the company Joyoland following soon after. This release was eventually used as the basis for a fan translation by the "Geofront" team. Ind…

- Trails from Zero - PC Version Overview (Part 1) - 17 June 2022
Hi everyone! The release date for Trails from Zero is inching closer, and we want to share more about the development of this new version of the game. I initially just intended for this to be a one-off post like we did for a few other releases, but there's more to cover here than there ever was before so instead this will be a multi-part affair. In this first part, I'll primarily talk about new in-game features, while future parts will focus on the improvement to in-game assets, bug-fixes, some platform support information, and maybe even more minor features I can't get to today. Background For both this look at features and future discussions of assets, it helps to have some background knowledge of the release history of Trails from Zero. The game was originally released for PSP by Falcom, with a Chinese PC release licensed to the company Joyoland following soon after. This release was…
