[h2]We are on Reddit too! [/h2]

Hey Redditors!
Many of you know the r/Liftoffgame subreddit, created by passionate fans nearly a decade ago. We're grateful for their dedication, but it's clear the subreddit hasn’t been getting the attention it deserves lately.

That’s why we’ve swooped in to revive it, making it officially part of the Liftoff community! Now under the care of the Liftoff dev team, this space will be buzzing with fresh content, direct support, and deeper interactions. It's our new digital hangout (alongside our Facebook group, Steam forum, and Discord channel) designed to bring us all closer together.

Those interested, you are welcome: r/Liftoffgame


[h2]Another look [/h2]

To those who don't like to get teased by use, by warned: look away!

Our team has continued work on crafting an exciting new look and atmosphere for the night time version of Melon Pan Park. Not only has the playground been replaced by a skatepark, the whole cityscape is getting a neon city vibe that oozes late-night energy.



This version will be released in our future V1 update, we hope you're as pumped about it as we are! Let us know if you'd like to see more sneak peeks and behind-the-scenes content in our upcoming dev updates!

Each time we make a new level, we do it with the believe that we are crafting our best level yet. It’s only when it’s in your hands that we find out if we’ve actually succeeded. Your response to Melon Pan Park has been immense, thank you for making us feel on top of the world!

Melon Pan Park stands as a shining example of what community support can achieve. Your wish for a simulator completely tailored to a micro drones experience, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, makes dedicated content like this possible. Thank you for championing our vision and dreams of building the ultimate micro drone simulator.


[h2]Exciting Developments[/h2]

We’ve begun developing the night-time versions of Silverscreen and Melon Pan Park, and with the addition of three new micro drones, Steam achievements, and a brand-new track builder, the content and features for the V1 update are now completely locked in. While major updates before the V1 release (expected by the end of this year) are unlikely, we promise to keep you updated on our development progress. To kick things off, here’s a teaser of the Melon Pan Park night version, which is currently in development

For months, the whispers have spread like the warm scent of fresh-baked melon pan, and now, the gates to the park are open. Get ready for the sweet new Melon-Pan Park level!

[h2]Changelist[/h2]

• Introduced Melon-Pan Park - Playground level.
  
• Added 3 official racetracks, 1 hoverdrone track, and 3 item collection setups.
  
• Added bots for the Silverscreen races.
  
• Updated some old track items to be better looking (traffic cones etc)
  
• Fixed a bug where tape assets were not functioning properly; they now correctly sag under their weight.

It’s everything you’ve been craving: an Japanese urban jungle where wide-open streets meet shadowy alleyways, where towering concrete blends with vibrant life. At the center, a playground paradise draped in cherry blossoms, with working slides that twist and turn, and a merry-go-round that spins with nostalgia. Not hyped yet? Check out some of the videos our playtesters have made over the past few weeks.
