The Wandering Village News

Dear Onbu Riders

Steam has decided to feature our Stray Fawn Strategy Bundle as a Daily Deal today :D
To celebrate the occasion, we decided to put a crazy discount on the bundle:


https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/41779/Stray_Fawn_Strategy_Bundle/


It’s a 'complete the set' bundle bundle which means you can still benefit from the discount even if you already own some of the games.

This sale is a great summary of what we’ve been up to, aside from the new Wandering Village updates:
- We have partnered up with 4 dev teams making city-builders and support them with marketing.
- 2 members of our team have started working on a small new game.

Our own new tiny game: Dungeon Clawler, a Roguelike Claw Machine Deckbuilder...

And one of our partnered games: Airborne Empire, an Open World RPG City Builder in which you construct flying cities...

Are both part of the upcoming Steam Next Fest and have a demo live for you to play starting now :D

We hope there is something for you in the bundle and if either of the upcoming games interest you, wishlisting it would be a huge help!

Thanks for stopping by :)

Dear Onbu Riders

The parasites have crawled over to the Steam main branch and are now infesting all players!
This update is all about parasites and …cults?

Various different parasites now inhabit the world. They can infest Onbu and be both harm- and helpful, depending on your current situation. If you’re feeling crafty, you can also build your own little parasite farm and harvest their eggs.



You can now feed villagers to Onbu. Not only does this fill up Onbu’s belly, but it also terrifies your villagers so much that they will stop revolting and start seeing Onbu as a divine being. They will then demand more sacrifices are made to Onbu, which turns your village into an outright cult!
Please note that this is a fully optional mechanic which you need to research first so, it’s completely up to you if you want to go down this wicked route.

This update also features:
- A new Onbu command
- 2 new buildings
- 4 new resources
- Lots of improvements, bug fixes and balancing changes

Check out the full patch notes:

New features

• Parasites
  Various different parasites now inhabit the world. They can infest Onbu and be both harm- and helpful, depending on your current situation. External parasites can be fought with the new Pest Control building, while internal parasites are removed by the Injector. Some external parasites even lay eggs, allowing you to collect them and start your own parasite farm. Or you can just cook and eat them.
  
• Cult of Onbu
  You can now feed villagers to Onbu. Not only does this fill up Onbu’s belly, but it also terrifies your villagers so much that they will stop revolting and start seeing Onbu as a divine being. They will then demand more sacrifices to Onbu, or become more and more unhappy with each level of the cult.
  
• Stand still command
  The hornblower now has a separate command to make Onbu stand in place. Useful in biomes where the ground is poisonous, or for avoiding certain parasites.
