Helping lift others
Stray Fawnhas announcedthat they’ve scooped up the publishing duties for The Wandering Band’s upcoming city-builderAirborne Empire. The current plan is to launch it into Early Access in 2024.
Airborne Empireis the sequel to 2020’sAirborne Kingdom, a game that I can’t believe I haven’t played. It’s a game about building floating cities! However, it also ties in exploration, as a flying city is the ultimate mobile home.Airborne Empirewill introduce pilots into the mix, making it so you’ll have to defend your city, as well as the cities on the surface.Airborne Kingdomwas pretty well-received, so I’m interested to see how the sequel gets off the ground.
Stray Fawn is the developer behindThe Wandering Village, another unique take on the city builder genre. I had a chance to talk toco-founder Philomena Schwababout the whole genre, and it’s cool to see them get into the paradoxically named indie-publishing business. Getting noticed as a small or solo developer often seems like a communal effort, so I love watching them come together to form a supergroup.Airborne Empirewill actually be Stray Fawn’s second publishing deal announced, after the upcomingEarth of Oryn.
Currently,Airborne Empirehas only been announced for PC and Mac, and will be entering Early Access sometime in 2024.
