Our goal for the year is that with a little hard work and a lot of coffee, we'll have this project wrapped up this year. And like any good wrapping, there's good stuff to be found inside! [h2]The road to V1[/h2] The end of the road towards an official release is in sight! The following things are planned and in the works for the release version: [list][*]A scripted in-game tutorial system for new pilots. [*]A night-time variation of Sawdust Inc. [*]A track builder and Steam Workshop integration. Build and share racetracks with other players! [*]Empty versions of the existing environment for you to build in, including a "Drawing Board" style space. [*]A brand new environment, being teased in the blogpost banner ;) [*] General polish and fixes[/list] [h2]When?[/h2] The items on the roadmap will become available as part of a few updates. As for the actual launch version, announcing a release window is like jumping off a cliff and hoping you'll fly... or at least that's what it feels like. But we feel bold and brave and will make a reckless "we hope for spring" statement. More importantly, the V1 release is far from the end of the project, it's actually just the start really. We fully commit to supporting and updating the project after this V1 release, as we have done with our other Liftoff simulators. We want to thank you all for supporting the Liftoff simulators. When Liftoff: Micro Drones launched in Early Access just over a year ago, we would not have imagined such a great and supportive response from the community. Thank you for being awesome!
