04/14/2026 Dev Log The River Trade Road and Merchant Dreams
Greetings to all martial artists.
Today I want to share the progress on a new zone that connects directly to Shanyinli. The foundation for the River Trade Road is now mostly complete. It is a vital but dangerous artery connecting the frontier to the great river ports. As you walk this path the smell of woodsmoke and roadside spices mixes with the constant threat of ambush.
This road will soon lead you to Yanlan. Yanlan is a bustling riverside port defined by deep mist and winding canals. By day the city is a crowded hub for trade and heavy cargo. By night it transforms into a quiet landscape of shadows and hidden secrets.
I know the wait for the new city has been longer than expected and I sincerely apologize for that. Building Yanlan alongside a major new sect is a heavy task and I want to ensure everything meets the standard of a living Jianghu before the gates open.
I want to share the reason for this slower pace by showing you the progress on the immersive trading system. Being a traveling merchant is a part of the Jianghu life I have wanted to build since the first day of development. You can soon equip a Peddler's Trunk on your back as you wander through the world. The system for this is already complete but it needs a place to live. I am working as fast as I can to polish the city of Yanlan so you can begin your journey as a merchant very soon.
This trading system fulfills one of the earliest visions I had for this game. If you wish to live a quiet life gathering herbs and selling wares to survive you can now do exactly that. In the future this will expand so players can accidentally cross paths and trade with each other naturally.
My plan is to finish this new zone completely. After that I will go back and polish all the previous zones so you can live and play in them endlessly like a true living Jianghu. Only then will we look toward the port system to sail to a hidden island. Perhaps we will encounter some real martial formations there.
I also have some wonderful news to share. Wuxia Logs just received its very first official paid supporter. I am incredibly happy and deeply grateful. Thank you so much for supporting this project.
The core goal of this game remains exactly the same as the day I started. “For people who want to live in a Wuxia world while living in the real one.” That includes me too. Let us keep walking this journey together.
