Dear Drone Engineers,

We just launched the Kickstarter campaign for our next game: The Wandering Village!
The Wandering Village is a brand-new city-building simulation game where you build a settlement on the back of a giant, wandering creature. Have a look at our trailer to get a feeling what the game is about:

[h3]About the game[/h3]
Mysterious plants are spreading all over the earth, emitting toxic spores as they grow.
A group of people seeks shelter on the back of a giant, wandering creature. Becoming their leader, players build both their settlement and a symbiotic relationship with the gentle beast to survive together in this hostile, yet beautiful post-apocalyptic world that now surrounds them.

For more information about the game please visit the Steam page and don't forget to wishlist it

​Dear Drone Engineers,

We just released a new update! We looked through all the features that you suggested and upvoted in our forums and picked the ones that we liked most and were within our time limit.

The two most notable changes are the new multiselection feature that let's you select and edit multiple drone parts at once by pressing CTRL. And the dronepart template system where you can create templates and use them accross your drones.

Here is a video showcasing the new features:
