Closed Alpha Launch
We just launched the Nimbatus Closed Alpha!
The main goal of the Closed Alpha is to gather feedback and improve the core gameplay.
As soon as we are happy with how the game plays, we'll release it on Steam Early Access, where everyone will be able to purchase it.
There is no set release date for the Early Access launch yet. We are currently aiming for September 2018, but this is just an estimate. It could eventually take a couple months longer.
Access
There is currently no way to purchase Closed Alpha access. It is only available for Kickstarter backers, Youtubers/Streamers and the winners of our gif competitions. We plan to run more gif competitions and some give aways in our forums in the near future.
Youtubers/Twitch Streamers
It is ok to stream/create videos of the Closed Alpha.
However please note that this is a work in progress. Save games might become incompatible and there will be lots of bugs. We set up a Steam branch (called 0.2.4) with the Pre-Alpha version of Nimbatus in case you want to continue playing with your existing save files.

Second demo update with drone sharing and new stretch goal
New demo update
You can now share drones with others. Fight your friend's creations in the sumo arena or share your awesome designs with others by saving the drone into a file. We plan to run a sumo tournament where you can win Steam keys soon. Stay tuned! The new demo also features new drone parts: Dynamite and a Dynamic Thruster. Plus you can now flip selected parts.
You can download the demo here: http://www.nimbatus.ch/demo

We are super close to reaching the second stretch goal: Drone VS Drone Combat.
We also announced the next stretch goal: Drone Sharing
The sharing feature we implemented now is just a taste of what it could be! We think it would be awesome to have Steam workshop integration and the option to share and load drones directly inside the game.
Cheers and Thanks,
