Building, creating, destroying, self-detonating, designing, and restarting. Nimbatus is an Early Access space-drone design simulator that’s fulfilling to anyone who has a brain for engineering or adventurous curiosity. To put it lightly, my experience with Nimbatus has been one for the books of failure, and has required me to watch countless tutorial videos on how to make a drone that can even be stable enough to maneuver a planet surface. Having said that, my enjoyment in watching my failed little creations of destruction is great enough that I won’t be stopping anytime soon.

Jengo, the point-and-click adventure currently being developed by Robot Wizard, is a rather fantastical beast.

Not by a long shot. A very long shot.

Playdius and independent studio Robot Wizard are proud to announce that the point & click adventure game Jengo, has successfully achieved its Fig Backstage Pass Program, with more than 20% of its fundraising goal reached and over 270 backers in one month. Starting today, Jengo is starting its full Fig Crowdfunding campaign.
