We are committed to make EreaDrone the best simulator it can be. Now is the time to make all the changes to make sure its the case. This includes changing the sale price of the game, to make the game more accessible to everyone.
Regional pricing is available for the game, so this price will vary depending on where you are. Check the Store page directly for your price.
Here's our timeline for the next updates! This article will lay out everything we are planning.
We've already released some parts of the UI update, already available in game. This includes the new Main Menu, Gamemode Selection menu, Profile and Customization menu, the new Lobby Settings menu, and the new Launcher Beta.
We are still working on overhauling the rest of the UI, including the Settings, the Map Browser and Picker, and the Tournament menu. These updates will be rolled out very soon.
We plan on releasing these updates in the future. Things might change, and we may change the order of release.
What are "Props", really?
We recently added 17 more tutorials, but we're not stopping there! We have big plans for a complete and comprehensive tutorial campaign, featuring 100+ tutorials, with improvements to replayability and the tutorial end-screen. While our current tutorials are linear and need to be completed in a certain order, we want to provide more choice in how you learn.
Every beginner should have access to resources to learn at their own pace, with the difficulty scaling of their choosing. This is what we're aiming for.
We missed something, or you just want to train for something very specific? Make your own tutorial, or browse tutorials from experienced pilots! We will introduce community tutorials, accessible to every user.
More gates and track elements! More decorative elements! More of everything!
But that's not all. We want to change some stuff about the Track Editor, to make it even easier to use, with added tutorials and best practise guidelines. We also want to improve the experience of testing your own track.
Also, why not make a track together? We will introduce multiplayer map-making, so you can test and fly at the exact same time, or simply share in the joy of crafting a track. We also want to introduce custom gates, and custom shape primitives to allow you even more freedom.
We were always meant to fly together...
What if Drones.... but more??
Currently, you can see the replays of your best laps, and the best laps of everyone who beat their own times in the map leaderboards. We want to give you more options and freedom to watch back and review your own performance, and that of others. We're planning tools like freecam and annotation tools, to review your trajectories and flight data, so you know what to improve effectively.
Now, you can export a video of your replay. We want to improve that experience, and let you share your replays more effectively, in EreaDrone or on social media. If you are a content creator, we will let you express your film director prowess with more extensive tools to showcase your flights.
🤖 Robots? Bots? Computers? Could a bot fly a drone?
And that's it! While we are still keeping some stuff close to our chest, we have some big plans for EreaDrone, and look forward to all the improvements we will make.
Of course, we're not forgetting you: during this whole process, we want to involve pilots to see what they really want out of EreaDrone. If you want to get involved, we will share some ways to give your feedback, similarly to what we've done for the Physics V2 update.
You can join our official Discord server, and join us for our monthly Fly with the Devs sessions, where you can ask us anything, and learn about what's next (alongside some fun activities. Its a really chill time!)
Let's look back at what we've already done to improve the sim, as part of the Road to 1.0.
We recently released our Physics V2 system, that improves the physics of every model in EreaDrone, greatly improving the feel. Alongside that, we updated our Drone Settings menu to make it as easy as possible to dial in all the settings exactly how you want them, by letting you fly directly in the menu and giving you key metrics.
Thank you for reading all that! Hope you're excited for what's next in EreaDrone!
