Dear Onbu Riders, First of all, thank you all very much for your support in the past weeks! Weve received tons of useful inputs and feedback and are working hard on improving and expanding The Wandering Village. We just released an update (full controller support + quality of life improvements) on the TESTING BRANCH. It would be really cool if you help us to test this update and give feedback! If youd like to do so please switch your branch in the games properties in your Steam library Here is now:

Please note that builds on the Testing Branch might screw up your game saves! So if you want to make super sure, better make a backup first. In case anybody owns a Steam Deck it would be awesome if you could test the game there, since we want to get verified soon! To do this, you need to change the controller settings and set the current layout to 'gamepad with joystick trackpad' before you start the game. While some members of our team focused on this first update, others started to work on a big content update which you can get a first early peak at here: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1121640/view/3479622422072368407 To see our plans for the next few months, please check out the roadmap here: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1121640/view/5104290054750324789 And here are the patch notes Testing Patchnotes 0.1.34 Known Issues ---------------- - The Gamepad support is still a bit rough, please report feedback of anything that does not work correctly -> please use the category 'gamepad feedback' in the bug reporting tool to do so! - The tutorial is not yet finished or translated for the gamepad - The onscreen keyboard only works in Steam big picture mode or on the Steam Deck New Features ---------------- - Gamepad Support - New Autosave system - Added Disable tool to more quickly disable and enable buildings - Added worker management window to centrally manage employed workers New Buildings ---------------- - Added Granary, a larger food storage building - Added the Onbu Discipliner, a building that, when used, hurts Onbu, but forces it to listen to your commands Improvements ---------------- - Harvest tool single click let's you harvest small plants if you hit the floor plate - Harvest and Plantation toggles in Farming UI changed to value chooser. - Harvest wood tutorial now tracks harvested wood, not just available wood - Decontamination and cure poisoned villlagers tutorials show the amount of affected plants/villagers more clearly - Added Tooltips regarding heartbeat production, dung production and tool usage (compost) - Tool drag is not stopped if cursor outside of onbus back - Tiles with Onbu spikes and fully grown mothertrees + no longer viable for plot placement and thus won't be automatically marked for harvesting - Added dynamic descriptions for some buildings and missions - Many buildings now have back doors, eliminating the need for villagers to walk around them - Made collider for moving pollenstorms smaller, so it's easier to click in things behind them - Improved game over screen - Improved performance on large villages - Dung Collector workers help transport dung, don't just stand around idly - Changed food indicator arrows to amount indicator, and more details about how long the food will last - Removed focus idle worker + focus idle unemployed worker buttons - Added focus buildings with idle worker + focus buildings with flags buttons - All Popups + Windows can be closed with ESC or right click - Made it clearer that tutorial is only available in Novice mode - Made Novice mode playable without tutorial and with difficulty settings - Added warning flag when crops being planted don't grow - Selection of a tool can be reset without losing the tool - Tool filter selection is not reset on tool deselection - Improved selection for poison plants - Improved destruction from earthquakes, made it more focused - Added rebuild cost for destroyed buildings - Building durability has been refined + is now visible - Resources gained from deconstruction are now visible once a building has been marked for deconstruction Bugfixes ---------------- - Fixed bug where log shows Onbu rests instead of Onbu wakes up - Fixed bug where roads underneath plants could not be removed with tool - Fixed bug where farmers worked on the wrong field - Fixed stretched scavenging decision reward UI - Fixed research popup appearing when no research was selectable - Fixed bug where the percentage on progress bar was displayed wrong in arabic - Fixed waypoint tutorial not registering as completed when a decision has already been made in advance - Fixed knowledge tutorial not registering as completed when the gained knowledge was immediately used by queued research - Fixed activating dung collector after Onbu had pooped and still receiving dung - Fixed bug where preselected scavenging decisions lead to unwanted behavior - Fixed mismatch between building regions Balancing ---------------- - Made it less likely for poison plants to grow on roads - Raised amount of plots that can be fertilized with 1 compost from 1 to 10 - Increased resource capacity of Onbu Kitchen from 20 to 40 - Reduced energy cost of 'High Digestion' status effect from 150 to 20 - Removed '0% growth speed' temperature condition from plants Visual Improvements ---------------- - Fixed visible seam in shadows - Fixed z-fighting on all buildings - More tree, stone and hut variants - Update giant tree trunk asset - Added visual effect to poison plants to improve visibility Were looking forward to your feedback!
