Hi Imgur
I wanted to share some awesome designs players created in our game Nimbatus - The Space Drone Constructor. Our players keep surprising us with things we didn't believe would be possible and this greatly motivates our small team to keep improving the game :)
Every few weeks we run competitions for players to win access to the Closed Alpha we are currently running for the game (+ a Steam key for the final version). The topic is always different. Here are some drones that have been built for last weeks challenge "Fireworks".
Please note that when building a drone, you start with just the part in the middle. Everything else is added by you.
Building drones like this firework machine, requires a lot of thought. You'll need to add things like timers that define when the rockets are released and how your improvised LED display changes.
Here are some more examples of cool designs :D
We are currently running a competition with the topic "Best Flight Show" here:
https://strayfawnstudio.com/community/index.php?/topic/2198-win-a-nimbatus-closed-alpha-steam-key-gif-competition-topic-best-flight-show/
Would be cool to see some of you participate :D
You can download a free Nimbatus demo to build stuff with here:

Thanks for reading :)

Thanks you! It has only "passive multiplayer". Meaning that you can have automated drone battles (where you don't give input) vs ...

The map is the same currently. But we plan to add lots of new features to the paid version in the future :)

Are you showcasing at any conventions?
StrayFawn
We went to GDC recently and will be in the Gamescom business area in August :)
DetectiveSloth
Any US ones?
StrayFawn
GDC was in the US :)
StrayFawn
Maybe we'll try PAX at some point, but not sure.
DetectiveSloth
Have you looked at MAGfest?
StrayFawn
Heard about it. Looks cool! US is very far for us though, we are from Switzerland. So we can only afford it 1 or my 2 times a year.
