Now that the game has a lot more content compared to over a year ago, we're going to limit the demo which means this unique opportunity is even more special for players who wish to grab the full game. A unique opportunity that most likely will never happen again. Be sure to tell all your friends about this one-time opportunity to hop onto the train for cheap!RoadmapAug 31, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsAs most of you know, when we are quiet big stuff is coming... and we have been too quiet ;) We have a BIG ANNOUNCEMENT to make TOMORROW so definitely stay tuned and check our channels! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34023743/2f60e34e4628a428da81c7946f54c74020b221af.png In the meantime, to clarify the immediate next steps, our short-term roadmap looks as follows (ETA 1-2 weeks): Editor-built drones will be able to battle against bots in test flight More components will be functional (power generators, batteries, etc) Soon after that: ENVIRONMENTS - SPACE (reached stretch-goal) MOAR WEAPONS (reached stretch-goal) Then: Editor-built drones will be usable in multiplayer Progression system Independently of these timeframes, new, more dynamic arenas will roll out as well.

We've been working relentlessly since the last update and we are glad to announce that we are almost ready to release the next one. This is a very big update with loads of important bug fixes (say goodbye to floating missiles), various improvements (say hello to better graphics and smoother gameplay) as well as some new things such as a new arena... and bots in multiplayer! Shortly after this update we will begin marketing so the player count will improve as well. Custom drones in multiplayer (and progression, of course) will be the next big thing. In between this and the next big update there will be some cool features coming such as lobbies + matchmaking and what we call "the testing branch" (similar to a PTR/test server). Of course, there will also be further polishing and bug fixing. Some new content too. More details will be made available as we get closer to the release of each update. Thank you all for your support and patience, we wouldn't be here today without you :) WE CAN!!!First stretch goal reached!Jan 3, 2020 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34023743/df21fecc2eea66ed066deca72e34c81bf9df5b6b.jpg The first stretch goal has been reached thanks to our new Strategist, General Kenobi! With the space environments unlocked, you'll soon be able to play in deep space or planetary orbit, and, once the arena editor is merged with the main game, you'll of course also be able to create this new type of arenas. But, you will have to be careful for environmental threats such as asteroid fields and solar flares ;)Update 0.1.48Dec 23, 2019 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34023743/0c0aa85aad1ddcb4a523fbb683b385439be7fc4b.jpg Merry Christmas everyone! ... and have fun on the new arenas ;) Changes: Drone Editor preview fully available for paid users (tier 2 "Traveler" and above) 5 new arenas All arenas are available for free users Matches end by points not by timelimit Many bug fixes Follow development here: https://trello.com/b/FACZfxiI and on Discord: https://discord.gg/droneUpdate 0.1.47Dec 16, 2019 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34023743/a18fb6d09e6d98f2bd254d4a8597fefa189bba15.png 0.1.47 is out and it has changed Powerball gameplay!
