Dear Onbu Riders The [b]Research & Economy update[/b] is here! We’ve worked together with the community to add more depth to the city-building gameplay of The Wandering Village. This update features many changes, all focused on making the game’s economy richer and more interesting. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38917339/cb4d9108062f551854ed65f825fe191cad61094d.gif[/img] The research system has received a major overhaul. Unlocking new technologies now costs resources, and everything has been unified in a single tree. The tree's design has also been overhauled to show all important information at a glance.

Your villagers will have to plan around these natural obstacles at first, and gradually free up more space to expand their village.

[*] Completely rebalanced difficulty modes, "Relaxed" and "Survival". [*] Complete rework for the tutorial [*] Two new building materials: clay and brick [*] Five new Onbu food spot types [*] Overhaul of the scavenging system [/list] And much more! Check out the full patch notes: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1121640/view/4478359995220492849 A lot has changed, and we have completely reworked the tutorial to reflect these changes. If you return to The Wandering Village, we recommend playing the tutorial again to get a chance to learn about everything new! Please note that, due to the extent of changes to how the game works, how Onbu's back is generated and more, [b]we are not able to keep old save files compatible with this new version[/b]. If you want to continue on your existing save files, please opt into the "0.7.10" branch on Steam to continue playing the previous version of the game.
