The upcoming Dream Engines: Nomad Cities [ > ] that we reported on recently features TAB-style city-building with movable bases, but Airborne Kingdom takes it further with cities that fly. Tough to tell how it will pan out since there's not much to see yet, but the screens do look good, so that's one positive so far. One negative however is that it doesn't sound like there'll be much fighting, if any, so this may end up being more of a straight-up city-builder than a TAB clone.

The Wandering Band wrote:Take a fantastical journey — fly the desert and build your domain. Airborne Kingdom uniquely blends city management and exploration, with a world and lore all its own. Build housing, gather food, satisfy needs, and grow your tribe. Maintain lift, discover resources, and explore the desert for lost technologies.
With a randomly-generated desert, every playthrough changes, along with your city and its values. Will you create a balloon flotilla connected by ropes and based on faith, or a winged metropolis focused on entertainment, or will steam-powered fans fly your kingdom as you search for answers in the stars?
The city, your journey, their lives — all of it is up to you to decide.
KEY FEATURES
- Design and build your flying domain, from a single bobbing fan, to a sprawling Airborne Kingdom
- Attract migrants from the desert tribes below, each with their own distinct wants and desires
- Set up production chains of extravagant resources, encouraging more people to move to your kingdom
- Meet and barter with other tribes, combining their knowledge to form new technologies
- Change your play-style every game, with a sprawling, randomly-generated map to explore
Airborne Kingdom is being developed by industry veterans Chee Fong, Fred Gareau, Zach Mumbach, and Ben Wander, with an original soundtrack by Paul Aubry and Simon Desrochers, and the help of a few incredible friends.
