Prepare for autumn, just like our great and majestic Luxion, who just landed in the hub.

Luxion will be waiting for you in the Light's Den from October 1, and he will magically disappear on October 4 at 11:00 am UTC.


Here are some pictures of Luxion's special offers!

Diggsly's Shadow's Shadow (Ally)
Sabaddar, Summer’s Rapture (Mount)
Ladybug Wings (Wings)
Minerbot Qubesly (Ally)
Magic Trove Carpet (Mount)


What are you waiting for ? Grab your dragon coins and hurry up, dear Trovians!

Luxion’s loot is a way for players who have missed out on time-limited items in the past to collect them directly. You will also find brand new items change out periodically for a higher amount of Dragon Coins. Items will repeat eventually, but it may take a while for a specific loot item to return, so be sure to check back every visit!

Hello, Mercenaries,

This weekend's event will focus on alternative round duration. The objectives and game modes remain the same, but the rounds are one minute shorter.

With this event, we are testing how the timers influence the pace of the game, playstyle, and overall gameplay. This will allow us to better balance and improve our existing game modes and flows.

The "Quick and Dirty" Matchmaking Event starts on Friday 1st of October at 10 AM UTC and finishes on Monday 4th of October at 10 AM UTC.

This is an experiment and we would love to hear what you think about it, so once you've had the chance to play, share your feedback with us on Discord, Steam or social media.


On the lobby screen, press the "Select game mode" button to choose the type of matchmaking you want to play. Please note, if you are in a team, only the team leader can select the matchmaking mode.

This will bring up the option for you to choose the Matchmaking Event "Quick and Dirty".



Once you select the correct mode, you are ready to go and test the event, just press Start Shift.



Here are some of the other Mathcmaking Events you could try in the upcoming weekends.



Slow & Steady (8 Oct - 11 Oct)
With extra time added to each round, this game mode gives some breathing room for a more tactical approach or simply waiting out the enemy to walk into the crosshairs of a sniper scope.

Hot Minute Massacre (15 Oct - 18 Oct)
New flow set in a smaller part of Old New York.

Once you have the chance to play, share your feedback with us on Discord, Steam or social media.

We'll be honest: today your favorite sim developer is taking a day off for its tenth birthday. But until yesterday, we were hard at work on a new update for Liftoff: FPV Drone Racing and it's a biggie!

However, with great changes comes great buggability... update 1.4.0 is not one we're just going to release into the wild straightaway. It'll be spending some time acclimatizing on the Experimental Branch first. If you want to get a sneak peek (and provide us with much-valued feedback), read how to access the Experimental Branch here.
Once we're confident about the stability and polish of these changes, they will be moved to the main game version.

Update 1.4.0 is a massive upgrade with a lot of improvements across the board. Chief among these is a complete overhaul of our flight behavior to Liftoff Physics 5.0. (Read all about it.) The long and short of it: you should see a significant performance increase, leading to a smoother experience, even on weaker systems. We've also moved the game to a new version of our game engine, for even more optimization and future-proofness.

Additionally, we've made a bunch of smaller quality of life fixes and features requests. These will continue in the near future, as we prepare up for a new level release. Stay tuned!

Read on for a full overview of the changes in 1.4.0

• Updated: flight controller - relies less on Unity's built-in physics and increases performance.
  
  
  1. The new Liftoff flight controller has an A.I. PID tune feature that adjusts itself based on the system's performance for a perfectly tuned setup in light. Manual tuning is also still possible.
     
  2. It relies a lot less on Unity's physics system, greatly decreasing the time required for physics and collision resolutions, freeing up more time for rendering and increasing overall FPS.
     
  3. Fixed: the throttle is now more responsive
     
  4. Support for multiple rate models. More models can be added later on.
• Updated: Unity engine - better rendering and code performance.
  
• Updated: Single player Infinite Race now has bots that continue flying, thereby behaving more like a multiplayer game.
  
• Updated: players in a multiplayer game show up in the player bar on the right as soon as they join, instead of only upon entering the level
  
• Updated: all multiplayer menus have been merged together into a single menu, removing several loading screens between joining, creating and browsing multiplayer games.
  
• Updated: the "old school" level selection menu now allows you to directly select the drone, removing a loading screen.
  
• Updated: all interactable UI elements have been made more consistent across menus and levels. Many elements now have an additional highlight to emphasize the selected element.
  
• Updated (macOS-only): re-enabled voice chat. Before voice chat can be used, it will need to request microphone access. You can do so in the audio settings menu.
  
• Added: macOS M1 platform support. The mac build contains a hybrid app which should run natively on both Intel and M1 platforms.
  
• Added: search bar for tracks and races during multiplayer room creation.
  
• Added: As a result of rendering optimizations, propellers can now once again remain in view (on supported rendering APIs, see next point.)
  
• Fixed: On supported rendering pipelines (DirectX, Metal and Vulkan), the rendering distance is now fixed instead of dynamic.
  
• Fixed: some frame parts referenced the wrong weight data
  
• Fixed: the Night skin of the KHole frame had some colors not working as intended.
  
• Fixed: the pause menu could become unresponsive when the menu was closed during a dropdown selection.
  
• Fixed: drone trails now properly reset during a race, whereas before they would show a big jump from the previous positions.
  
• Fixed: the field of view option is now consistent between menus and in-game controls.
  
• Fixed: dropdown labels that were too long would not slide back to their original position.
  
• Removed: the 'Display' option from the graphics menu since it's internally broken on the engine-side.
  
• Removed: support for 32bit Windows and Linux versions of Liftoff.

J didn't manage to clear Subspace Citadel earlier this week and wants another chance, and so we decided to help him hold another last minute livestream today. However, we gave him a condition to make things more interesting: to play with Renge only!

Will J manage to clear the stage? Feel free to tune in in a few minutes to watch "J's revenge"!

From 04:00 am on October 1, 2021 (PDT), the GetsuFumaDen: Undying Moon livestream will begin on the Steam product page (link)!

Please note that it will be a Japanese stream and will not be archived.
In the event that the streaming schedule changes, we will announce the details through either the official Japanese Twitter account or Discord server.
