Get your Chirpo Plushie!

Heads up, Trailmakers - something cute is heading your way!

The Chirpos are migrating into your homes. Tomorrow we are launching the Chirpo plushie through our friends at Makeship!

We already have one at the office and our totally unbiased opinion is that it’s the plushie to rule them all. Good size, dashing colors, and that goofy ahh Chirpo face we have all come to adore.

Get your Chirpo plushie here: https://shop.makeship.com/3qruL70

Here’s how it works:

We need to sell 200 Chirpos to “fund” the plushie. If the threshold is not met, the Chirpos won’t be sent and everyone will naturally be refunded (just like on Kickstarter).

If the project is funded the Chirpos will be released into the wild (or your bedrooms). The campaign is now live, click here to get yours!

1.6.3 Update: Coming soon! ✈️

Heads up, Trailmakers!

A new update is coming. Mind you, it is not as grande as Airborne and 1.6 but you will find a few things many of you have been asking for.


[h3]Airborne Sandbox unlocked by default[/h3]
Previously you had to beat the Airborne campaign to play the map in Sandbox mode. Well, no longer. The gates are open. Have fun!

[h3]No-enemy version of Airborne Sandbox[/h3]
This has been requested by many and so be it. Enjoy flying around Pirate Peak without a care in the world.

[h3]New outfits / hats[/h3]
Can’t show you yet but they are awesome. Trust us.

[h3]Sticky orbit camera is back, baby[/h3]
Because you all love sticky orbit apparently.

[h3]Hide crosshair[/h3]
The pro gamers in the Trailmakers community have begged us for this option for the ultimate skill-based dogfighter experience.

[h3]Airship category in workshop[/h3]
Because Airships are awesome and should be easily distributed amongst the masses.

That and much more in Trailmakers 1.6.3. More info will follow soon
