Stray Fawn Studio have funded their upcoming city building game, The Wandering Village, via a Kickstarter campaign by over 250% of their goal.
The game is in development for Windows PC, and set in a post-apocalyptic world covered in toxic spores. A small village survives atop a gigantic wandering creature called Onbu, that travels across the world in search for a place free of the toxic spores.
You are the leader of the village on Onbu’s back. Plan, build, and expand your village to ensure that your people can survive. You’ll also need to live a symbiotic relationship with Onbu, making sure the creature stays healthy to ensure the continued survival of your village.
You can find the game’s reveal trailer below.
The Kickstarter campaign is currently 278% funded over its $35,540 USD goal. Achieved stretch goals include being able send villagers to Onbu’s head to pet it, and being able to tame wild birds as pets, or to help via scouting and foraging. Future stretch goals revealed so far include the water biome ($117,000 USD).
The minimum pledge required to get a digital copy of the game is $17 USD. Other backer rewards include the backer’s name in the credits, Discord titles, a discount for the digital game (at tiers lower than $17 USD), digital soundtrack, wallpapers, multiple copies of the game, access to the game pre-launch, digital artbook, t-shirt, and naming a villager.
Higher tiers include naming the giant creature, a hand-sculpted chibi-style figurine of Onbu, designing an in-game artifact, an original sketch signed by the game’s artists, designing an in-game monument, commissioned artwork, and (one person) visiting the studio and having dinner with the team.
Certain backer reward tiers include Steam keys for Wingspan, the Empires of the Undergrowth, Rise to Ruins, Judgement: Apocalypse Survival Simulation, Endzone. Higher tiers include all Stray Fawn games “past and future, for PC,” and a collection of 15 Swiss games.
The Kickstarter campaign runs until November 13th.
