- Weekly Dev Update - 25 June 2026
Hello Everyone! We will start sharing weekly updates that we worked on and what we will be working on so you can stay in the loop of what's coming up! We previously worked on Getting the game intro scenario to be more engaging. The whole beginning of the game was revamped! Now the players don’t find themselves in the middle of action and Lantern’s Crossing being under attack, but instead in an old cave where they are straight introduced to the Henki companion. After a short tutorial, you exit the cave with the Henki and are free to explore any place and content in the world of Taival! Due to popular demand, we made Henki companion forms more meaningful by adding each Henki form different classes/traits. For example, chibkins can now find munchroot around the world, trihorns act as pack mules and can carry items for you, and the original Henki form can heal and even revive you during bat…

- A New Way Forward - 29 May 2026
Hey there you awesome people!We took some time to ponder about things, and made a decision to cancel the Kickstarter for Taival. We've heard the feedback from the community that you would rather support us during the next phase of the campaign, early access and we are going to focus our effort on making it the best it can be!Now, this does NOT mean that Taival is canceled, but the complete opposite. For us this was not about crowdfunding, it was about the journey and a thank you for believing in Taival. As you know, Taival is in a playable state already. The early access is coming regardless of Kickstarter, so we're moving forward full steam without it!Thank you so much for believing in Taival, and let's continue this journey together - join our Discord for regular updates, or wishlist and follow in Steam. Stay awesome,The Taival Team

Hey you awesome people, introducing Gloomwood!Gloomwood is the first biome in Taival the player finds themselves in after surviving an attack on the town of Lantern’s Crossing. Its most distinct feature is its blue foliage, the richness of mineable ores on the ground surface, and the hot air balloons that run from the town to all over Taival, providing a way to easily move to other biomes. We’ll let the images do the talking! Cheers, Taival Team
