ENVIRONMENT DESIGN PHILOSOPHY



Classic FPV is all about exploring landscapes, lengthy race tracks and diving tall buildings. With micro drones, however, it's all about exciting indoor environments, where the position of a single table or chair makes all the difference.

Liftoff: Micro Drones is completely built from the ground up to offer that ultimate micro drones experience. A flight session will feel quite different from one in the other Liftoff games, as it should. That different design approach will especially be apparent in the environments. We've completely rethought our design philosophy. Environments in Liftoff: Micro Drones present intricate indoor spaces, that offer different flight paths from ground level up to the ceiling. These wont be generic and lifeless spaces: they tell a story, look better, and are interactive.

Liftoff: Micro Drones will offer two variations of each environment, a day and night version. More than just a visual variation, these two versions also offer different flight opportunities by changing arrangements and decoration. A school gym turned into a prom night, a clumsy warehouse worker ruining both his work environment and his reputation, a slumber party bringing some chaos to a sleek designer house... Every little change makes a huge difference, making you feel like you're actually experiencing a complete new level each time. Here's what that looks like:

The first Early Access version of Liftoff: Micro Drones is planned to be released on Steam at the end of this year and will offer the three environments shown in the video above, each with two variations. Over time more environments like this will be added as free updates to the game. The day and night version of each level will be part of the base game.

Project & trailer reveal!




LuGus Studios, creators of the Liftoff brand of drone simulators, are announcing the latest instalment in the series. Liftoff: Micro Drones is an experience dedicated to the micro drone class.

Liftoff: Micro Drones focuses on indoor flights with tiny drones that fit in the palm of your hand. At this scale, even an everyday living room becomes a fascinating aerial playground that is begging to be explored. Inspired by years of community feedback and suggestions, Micro Drones, like previous Liftoff games, will feature both singleplayer and multiplayer experiences, fully customizable drone setups, and a trademark focus on realistic flight experience.

The new simulator will be released via Steam’s Early Access program: even before the official release, fans of the series can get an early look and can be involved in shaping the future of the project. Liftoff: FPV Drone Racing went through a similar process, to great success. Based on community input, over 100 updates helped shape the game exactly into what its players wanted, giving the team at LuGus Studios confidence in continuing that approach. Future updates for Micro Drones will bring a track editor, Steam Workshop integration, extra game modes, and new frames and environments to explore.


Liftoff: Micro Drones is slated to be released in Early Access on Steam for PC, Mac and Linux in late 2021. A first reveal trailer was released to the public last Thursday.
