The Wandering Village News

Dear Onbu Riders

Thank you all for the amazing start! The Wandering Village has sold 50’000 copies in the first two days and currently has an 89% positive rating.

After putting our hearts and souls into this game for the past 3 years, we’re honestly just super relieved that you guys seem to enjoy it so far!

However we are also aware that many things still need to be improved. We’re reading through all your submitted feedback and will have a meeting with the whole team next Wednesday to plan the next few weeks. In the meantime, we have started working on a first small patch, fixing some of the bugs you reported, and adding a setting to switch the primary mouse button.

Aside from fixing and improving current features, we also have so many plans for new ones!
We're planning to stay in Early Access for at least one year and are aiming to update the game continuously during this time. Following is a list roughly outlining our current update plans. While some features are already confirmed, we are constantly listening to your feedback and adapting our plans accordingly :)

Confirmed features:
New biome - Water
New biome - Ruins
New locations and events
New buildings
Tameable birds
Flying merchants to trade with
An additional Onbu skin
Controller support
Steam Deck support
Xbox version

Things we want to improve:
More story content
New and improved Onbu interactions
More city building mechanics
Better villager AI
Better balancing of the difficulty
UI interactions/understandability

Some of these features were stretch goals that we reached during our Kickstarter :)
Onbu Petting has already been implemented a while back!



The future of the game looks bright and our team will have a celebration dinner next week and rest up a bit after the intense launch days. Once again, thank you all from the bottom of our hearts! We can’t wait to hop back onto our Onbu and travel into these bright new lands with you ✨

Cheers & Thanks,
Stray Fawn Studio

Dear Onbu Riders

The day has finally come :D
After three years of work, The Wandering Village has just launched into Steam Early Access!
There is a 10% launch discount for a limited time. We have also released a collector’s edition that includes the soundtrack and some special goodies :)

While this is a day for celebration (pizza for the whole team has been ordered!), it’s only the beginning of our journey on the Onbu. We’re planning to keep working on the game for at least a year (most likely longer), so if you’d like to take a look at what’s next, check out our roadmap.

A huge thank you to everybody who participated in our beta testing.
As previously announced, all beta keys have now been deactivated.
Please check the beta channel on our Discord for further infos.

If you encounter any bugs in the game, please refer to this post in the Steam forums.
We’d greatly appreciate it if you could report bugs with the in-game bug report tool so we can fix them :)

We’re so happy to have finally taken this next big step and can’t wait to keep improving the game with all of you :D

In The Wandering Village you should think of the environment as a living, breathing entity. Mainly because, well, it is. In a world beset by toxic spores that have wiped out civilisation and much of nature, a group of nomads has grasped one last chance by climbing atop an Onbu, a gigantic, six-legged dinosaur-thing with a hard, flat back that sustains its own eco-system...

Dear Onbu Riders

We have finally chosen a release date for The Wandering Village!
The game will be released into Steam Early Access next week on September 14th, 9AM PDT.
We have also decided on a price point: $24.99. There will be an additional 10% launch discount. 🥳



We’re now entering the most crucial phase to make The Wandering Village a success: its release. This first week of the game’s life will have a HUGE impact on all the months and years that follow. We would like to keep working on The Wandering Village for a long time, but in order to make this possible we all have to push together to make the release as successful as possible. If you want to help with this, please join us over on Discord ^_^

A huge thank you to everyone who helped us get to this day with your helpful feedback, inspiring ideas and encouraging words, we would never have made it this far without you ❤️


Cheers & Thanks,
