Dear Onbu Riders, Thank you very much for all your feedback regarding the 0.2 update. We have since released a couple of small patches to address some of your inputs. Yesterday we launched the 0.2.3 update which introduces a repair tool to better deal with the aftermath of earthquakes. Weve also recently released The Wandering Village Steam Trading Cards :D We have some good news to share today: A new full-time team member has joined our studio this month: Robin. He's our new game designer with the mission to help improve the game's replayability, balancing, long-term motivation and hopefully make it even more fun in general! Robin has jumped right in and is currently implementing Hostility Modifiers which give players lots of options to make the game harder. Later on, this might be tied to some hard-to-get achievements, like "Beat the game on Veteran with a difficulty score of 10 or above"
Meanwhile, we are also working on building upgrades as well as a first set of decorations for your villages. With building upgrades, you can invest time and resources to improve individual buildings in to make them more efficient and integral to your production chains. But pick carefully, since upgrades cant be removed once installed, and some upgrades might work better in certain situations than others.
Decorations allow you to express yourself and your villages ideals in its design. Theyll help you decorate (the currently rather monotonous) neighborhoods and improve the quality of life for your villagers.
And of course were also still happily designing away at the Water Biome update (which we showed a few glimpses of last time): https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1121640/view/3673282587150196260 The Wandering Village has been nominated for the Game Connection Award If you have a minute, it would be awesome if you could vote for us! https://forms.gle/pZ3Lx3dHo5bxNm5v5 And lastly weve started a monthly dev stream on Twitch where we show off the latest additions to The Wandering Village and chat about various topics. The next one takes place on March 2nd, please join our Discord if youd like to get notified: https://discord.gg/thewanderingvillage That is all for today. Were looking forward to your feedback! Cheers & Thanks for your support, Stray Fawn Studio PS: Has anybody here gotten all achievements yet :D?
