Disclaimer:
The Early Access version is not a finished product. Early access is recommended only for those who are willing to support an in-development project and want to get an early look at the game. The Early Access phase will be used to gather feedback and suggestions and will help us shape the final release version of the game.

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.
