Welcome back dear Onbu Riders to another development progress update!
The most important news this month is that we have started the beta testing of The Wandering Village with our Kickstarter backers. We received lots of feedback already and are constantly improving the game while also still adding all kinds of new mechanics. So much to do
Were also hoping (not 100% sure yet though!) to participate in the upcoming Steam Next Festival with a demo of the game.
In other news, our indie studio has just turned 5 years old and we got an awesome Onbu cake to celebrate the occasion :D
And now lets take a look at what weve been working on in the past weeks:
Our animators added new movements for Onbu, mainly related to the various ways Onbu can eat.
They also refined many interactions and events in the game with particle effects.
Our lead artist Steffi created lots of art for the buildings. Fewer and fewer placeholders can be spotted now! She also worked on designs for the remaining buildings.
The UI team was very busy this month. The upcoming beta test demanded lots of additional UI and some reworks. Here are some examples:
Basic tutorial:
Keybindings:
Improved Research tree:
Here, our lead programmer Micha also added a fancy option to choose your next research from a pop-up:
And last but not least, our game designer Arno implemented a new feature: Increased villager needs based on population size. The UI is still WIP:
That's all for today. As usual please leave us a like if you enjoyed this update.
We wish you all happy holidays
Cheers & Thanks,
Stray Fawn Studio

In a world where mysterious plants are spreading all over the earth, emitting toxic spores as they grow, a small group of survivors seeks shelter on the back of a giant, wandering creature they call 'Onbu'.
Become their leader, build their settlement and form a symbiotic relationship with the creature to survive together in this hostile, yet beautiful post-apocalyptic world that now surrounds you.
Build your village
A functioning village is the basis of your survival. Build your settlement and expand it over the creature's back. Plan production chains and optimize them to utilize the limited space as efficiently as possible. Create a society that can overcome any challenge.Live on the creatures back
Living on the back of another organism comes with its own set of challenges. Will you live in symbiosis, bond with the creature and survive on mutual trust? Or will you become a parasite, only aiming to ensure a better life for your villagers? The choice is yours.Discover different biomes
Travel through a multitude of different biomes and adapt your village to their unique opportunities and threats. Scout your environments and send out foraging missions to gather rare resources and ancient artifacts.Research new technologies
Remnants of the old world hold knowledge that has long been forgotten, but can be unearthed by your villagers. Find and research these technologies, but use them wisely, as progress can be a double-edged sword.Survive the wastelands
Ensure the survival of both your villagers and your Onbu, even though poisonous spores, merciless weather, bloodsucking parasites and many more challenges mean that the odds are often stacked against you.---
We're huge fans of Frostpunk, Timberborn and Airborne Kingdom and all of these games have inspired us to some extent.
