Dear Onbu Riders,
I hope you have been enjoying the new birthday update
Later this week, we will present you the winners of our firework competition, which is still running until September 14th on our Discord. Were amazed by all your creative submissions already, and cant wait to see whats more to come!
In the meantime, we have started to work on the next update, planned later this year:
The Villager Update. We are overhauling the way villager happiness works and how it is displayed while trying to also improve villager AI in the process.
Weve also been working on quite a few other improvements. One of the most significant ones is the improved map generation with which we want to decrease RNG, especially in Novice and Adept difficulty levels, and lower the maximum difficulty in Novice. The new generator will also allow us to preview hundreds of generated worlds in a heartbeat, making it much easier to see whether everything is fair and fun! This involves some bigger changes to the game, and will be coming to the game sometime after the Villager Update.
We speak way too rarely of the games music/sound design in these development updates!
All the more reason to do so now, since the game is taking part in the Save & Sound Steam event running from September 11 - 21.
Our composer/sound designer NukeTan recorded a behind the scenes video of his creative process. Make sure to tune in and watch it as part of the event on Wednesday at 1PM PDT. To celebrate the occasion, were running a 20% discount for our soundtrack and an extra 20% on top for the games collectors edition which includes our digital artbook.
Thank you for your ongoing support!
Cheers & Thanks,
Stray Fawn Studio

You can also join the game's community on Discord:
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.
