Dear Drone Engineers, We just released a preview build of the release version of Nimbatus. It would be awesome if you could test this build and report any bugs you can find! The full release of Nimbatus is getting closer! For this we are translating the game into more languages. It's not yet finished, but you can already change the language and see what has been translated so far. If you find text errors or spelling mistakes, please head over to our Crowdin page and suggest a better translation! https://crowdin.com/project/nimbatus. We still plan to continue updating Nimbatus after the release, but the full release is an important step for us and we hope to get many new players on board Please note: the new achievements are not yet working for the default game version, only for the preview version!

Cheers, Stray Fawn Studio Here is how you can get the preview build on steam: – Open your Steam library– Right click on Nimbatus in the Steam library– Select Properties / Beta– Select the Beta tab– Select preview from the drop down – Restart steam in case the game does not update automatically or you can't see the preview branch

Hmm I'd need your logfile to check out whats causing the problems. Here is explained how to find the logfile:

It should be a danger zone, I'll check it out.

Thanks for the logs! We will analyze and fix it.

Bug: on my samsung galaxy s10, the label with the food count is hidden by the front facing camera.

Update 0.9.6: We just uploaded a hotfix that fixes the Mission with the Energy Tower. The Battery-tower accidentally spawned inside the shield and was pretty tricky to destroy.

Dear Drone Engineers, We are super happy how the community translations are progressing! This is how the current progress looks like: We just opened a new Beta branch on Steam called "translation". We will update it weekly and you can use it to check if the translations are correct. This build is the current development build, so there could be some bugs or unfinished features inside. We are also testing a new font that can support more languages than the current one. If you want to help with translating the game or suggest some better translations, please join our Crowdin project for your language here: https://crowdin.com/project/nimbatus You might have to wait a few hours before the join request gets accepted, as we do them manually Cheers and Thanks, Stray Fawn Studio

Use some TnT or penetrating lasers until it's fixed @STM @*Tr4nc3

Thanks for notifying, I changed the checkbox. I'll add danish if we have at least 2 translators

We just pushed a hot fix that fixes the Tutorial. It was not possible to do the tutorial steps without restarting the game
