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:

Next Update: Drone Racing

Our next big update will be all about drone racing! We want to add drone vs. drone racing for fully autonomous drones and also races against the clock with multiple tracks and leaderboards.

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.

Planned Features and Improvements

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:

• Drone vs. drone combat arena
• Terrain rovers (wheels, ...)
• Environmental events & weather
• Ice planets
• Bossfights
• Improved progression for single player campaign
• Sandbox planets with lots of settings
  

We also want to conduct some experiments on how to improve the physic stability for our drones. This could be in form of adding the possibility to interconnect parts with struts or other internal stability improvements.

Suggest and vote for new features

In addition to the features we have already planned, we give our best to listen to your feedback and include features or improvements you suggested in every update! Here is how you can participate:

• Visit our Forum and go through all the drone part and feature suggestions to upvote the ones that you want to see in the game!
• Post your own suggestions and ideas, so other players can upvote them :)
• We look through all suggestions and decide which ones we are going to add for each update. The upvotes help us to see which suggestions are popular.
  

We plan to keep Nimbatus in Early Access for at least a year. We are happy to have you on board and we are excited to keep improving Nimbatus together with you!

Cheers,
Stray Fawn Studio
