Wasteland Waste Disposal is now Windpunk 🌀

Hey everyone, We’ve got some exciting news to share: Wasteland Waste Disposal is now officially called Windpunk!

This isn’t a sudden shift in many ways, it’s just catching up with what the game has already become. From day one, Wasteland Waste Disposal was about rebuilding, restoring, and finding beauty in the aftermath. Over time, the wind-powered traversal, kinetic tools, and storm-healing mechanics became core to that vision. So, we’re giving it a name that matches the soul it’s always had.

✨ Why the name change?

• Trademark clarity: To avoid potential conflict with the Wasteland series, we wanted to make sure the project could grow freely without legal hang-ups.

• Identity alignment: The word Windpunk better captures the hopeful, windswept, energy-driven theme that’s now central to the gameplay and the world.

🛠️ What’s changing?

• Just the name. The story, tone, and spirit are the same. A cozy, scrappy survival-crafter in a storm-scarred world.

• You still pilot your Mech-Ark, recycle and refine ruins, recruit a quirky crew, and ride gliders through gusty skies.

• The Steam page and trailer have been updated, but your wishlist/follow stays intact.

🗓️ This update was announced as part of the Moonlite Madness Summer Showcase by NeverMore Niche (June 26, 2025)

Thank you so much for being part of this journey. Whether you joined us for the storms, the bots, the mixtapes, or the wind donuts, this story is still yours.

See you out there.
