Dear crew,

Here is a short overview on what we are working on and what new features and improvements you can expect in the future.


For the next update we are splitting the game into three different modes: Campaign, Sandbox and Competitive Mode. The campaign mode will feature a whole new set of rules and an improved progression system. We are experimenting with part unlocking, deployment costs and travel events for the campaign. However in the sandbox mode you will still be able to build huge drones with all parts unlocked from the start.

This is a big update which requires time to develop. As soon as we have something to test, we will open up a preview branch so you can help us find bugs and give us early feedback before the update goes live.


There are some features we already promised during our Kickstarter campaign and things we'd like to improve. Those will be added at some point during the Early Access:

• Ice planets
  
• Drone vs. drone combat arena
  
• Terrain rovers (wheels, ...)
  
• More environmental events & weather
  
• Bossfights
  
• More Settings for the sandbox mode
  
• Localization
  

We give our best to listen to your feedback and include suggested features or improvements in every update. Visit our forums and upvote the suggestions that you want to see in the game and/or post your own ideas.

The current plan is to fully release Nimbatus on Steam in spring 2020.
We are happy to have you on board and we are excited to keep improving Nimbatus together with you!

Cheers,

Dear Drone Engineers

We just released a brand new update for Nimbatus: Drone Racing!
Lots of things have been added and improved.
Most importantly: You can now build racing drones and compete in new modes.



Compete in time based racing and compare your times on the leaderboard, challenge other players’ drones on autonomous racing tracks and test your skills in the hardcore "Catch" tournament.



Along with these new modes comes a variety of new drone parts, such as the Afterburner, the VTOL Thruster and the Proximity Sensor.
Check out the complete patchnotes and a video showing the new features and improvements in our forums. Patchnotes & Video of new features

In order to celebrate the release of the new update, we also run a give away for everyone who can't afford the game. If you want to win a Steam key, head over to our forums and join the Raffle.
