Exploring the randomly generated desert map from above will also mean meeting new people, setting up trade routes, bartering and researching, and picking up migrants to join your travelling town.Īirborne Kingdom is hoping to take off in 2020, but you can already take a skim across the surface of their official website and Steam page. As long as you manage to keep your city flying and gathering enough resources for the people and buildings within, you’ll unfold an 80 Days or Sunless Skies style of location-based, anecdotal worldbuilding. Wander also explained some of the inspirations behind the game's story. These are some of the best people that I know that make video games," he said. "If you’d told me five years ago that I’d be working with this group of people again, I would have probably signed that contract in blood with the devil, in order to make this happen. All four previously worked at Visceral, the Dead Space studio that shuttered in 2017. In an interview with Polygon, Wander talked about reconnecting with the other developers: Chee Fong, Fred Gareau, and Zach Mumbach. This time, though, he’s banded together with three friends to create, well, the Wandering Band studio. This is the latest work from Ben Wander, who previously made video-team-recommended A Case of Distrust. Watching the tiny towers and houses pop up in the announcement trailer (below), I can practically feel my free time slipping away in the way only games like this can achieve. Your growing town is, as the name would suggest, airborne, and you’ll have to keep it that way unless you want to crash unceremoniously into the desert. If things are going wrong, turn back a little and redo.Īfter rescuing all stranded inhabitants, return to the camp where you got the quest.Upcoming city management sim Airborne Kingdom has a stat you’re not likely to find in many other games of the genre: lift.Plan your trip to be the quickest possible, settlement to settlement.Wood can be gathered from frozen forests. Maintain everything stable, the only thing you can spend heavily is wood.A couple of Fins can shorten the trip significantly.Build Fans to compensate for the loss of lift.As soon as your city can handle the maximum cold, the challenge is almost complete. The cold reaches a hard limit before the last settlements. Sacrifice some parts of your city, rebuild it, and adapt to every cold level change. The Furnace also counts toward 100% research completion. If you started your first game on Hard Mode, good! Hardened Savior can only be achieved on Hard Mode with default Town Center. There are two achievements tied to this region: Savior in the Frost and Hardened Savior. The goal is to rescue ALL stranded inhabitants on the Lost Tundra. The countermeasure is building Furnaces to heat nearby buildings and prevent the freezing of lift machines. The cold level affects buildings' efficiency, speed and lift generated, until the city becomes unsustainable and begins to fall. The further north you go, the colder it gets. This region is found in the northmost part of the map. Building a few water condensators will help mitigate this high demand until you achieve positive water income. It is 76 pages in length and measures 6' x 9' and is loaded with great information that is written in a more lighthearted manner with great WWII artwork and pull-out maps. This book has become extremely difficult to find and will make a great addition to your collection. Building farms seems like an obvious key to trivializing Hillside, but it will demand a lot of water to do so. The book details the 82nd Airborne during WWII. Hillside - This biome has iron ore, but no reliable food sources.With this, it becomes the easiest region to explore. Each allied desert kingdom supplies the city with 1 unit of wood per hour, which is enough for two Charcoal Huts. Building a Charcoal Hut might be necessary. Shallow Lands - The biome has abundant food and water, but low quantities of coal.Desert - Starting biome, balanced resources.There are 9 wonders with 3 pieces each.There are 4 biomes, 3 main and the Lost Tundra.There are constant values you could use to navigate: The map generates itself slightly differently for each game, which means it is impractical to share a useful map. Used by ornaments and a few advanced buildings. Cotton - Seen only on the Shallow Lands, on wide plantations.Quartz - Seen as bright crystals, more easily found in the Desert.Possibly hard to spot due to the canyons. Clay - Seen as yellowish-brown ground patches, mostly everywhere.Wood - An indispensable resource with many uses.Water - Consumed by inhabitants and buildings.Food - Also fuel, but for your people.
