Release date set for Sky City Sim's "Airborne Kingdom"

"Airborne Kingdom" is a simulator of sorts for "BioShock Infinite," in which players take control of a flying city and win over citizens on the ground, while collecting resources and floating from place to place as they expand. Indie development studio The Wandering Band has announced that the game will be available exclusively on the Epic Games Store on December 17.

Samuel Horti played a demo of Airborne Kingdom last year and said, "The aerial theme is more than just a gimmick. Every house, airplane hangar, farm, and propeller has weight, and if you put too many buildings on one side of the city, it will tip over. Tipping over slows down flight speed and causes buildings to deteriorate faster. You can tell if the city is balanced just by glancing at it, and if you put a new house on it, the whole airship will wobble or sink.

That tilt-shifted toy-box diorama look is pretty appealing, and as someone who orders colonists to shove off somewhere in Civilization and regrets it for the next 100 turns, the idea of being able to move your cloud city It is.
