The Wandering Village News

Patchnotes v1.0.3

Improvements

Forcibly show a quest’s side panel when a new transmission is incoming, even if that quest is unpinned
Proper world-map visuals for some story-related locations
Korean localization improvements
Fixed unlocalized side-objective in a certain main story quest
Don’t show survey prompt when closing the game

Bugfixes

Fixed a rare case where the “Someone wants to talk to you” prompt for side quests would not properly work, and stick around forever after showing the initial dialogue
Fixed Onbu not stopping in final story location if a "Lie Down" command was issued just before issuing the "Go Home" command
Fixed an issue where a scavenging decision would not trigger when being clicked, if the same scavenging team previously visited a sidequest location and the “Someone wants to talk to you” prompt was not yet accepted
Fixed last active tutorial not getting cleared upon completion. Most often, this affected the “Internal Parasites” tutorial

Balancing

increase carry capacity of Onbu Doctor for Onbu Notes from 5 -> 20. This means the Enlightenment mission can be prepared much quicker, making it more useful and easy to time

1 Week since Launch - Thank You & Development Update

It feels like we have only blinked once since The Wandering Village launched into 1.0, but it’s already been a week!

Thank you all very much for helping to make the launch a success 🎆
We are trying hard to read through all of your feedback and have started working on several quality of life improvements for the 1.1 update, such as:

Worker Management Overlay which allows you to quickly move workers and enable/disable buildings.

Hauling Post which allows you to employ workers as Haulers and Sweepers with extra movement speed and carrying capacity.

Research Search Bar

And much more 😀

Stunning city builder set on a dinosaur is like a Studio Ghibli Cities Skylines

I've always been a sucker for a great art style, and city builder The Wandering Village is the latest to catch my eye. To say it's gorgeously animated would be an understatement, but its Ghibli style is only the tip of the iceberg. You'll need to adopt a deep strategic approach to overcome great odds here - and an interest in managing settlements on the back of giant wandering creatures. Sounds like your cup of tea? Well, after nearly three years in early access, the full game is available for you to play right now.
