DroneGP 15 brings a whole new dimension to racing games. As in a car or
motorbike racing sim, you need precision and focus to complete a clean lap:
learn the racing lines and know how your vehicle behaves in every situation.
Unlike those sims, you have an extra dimension to exploit and keep under
control, and that makes for a unique experience.
You grow as a racing drone pilot through several classes of vehicles on many
different tracks, starting with small, light multicopters that are easy to
control.
Pure physics
Vehicle simulation is driven only by physics. Every drone has a "flight
controller" on board, exactly like real ones, and that lets us tune the
experience towards arcade or simulation. A drone becomes much easier to fly
when its flight controller counters inertia, or limits tilt angles to keep
its speed down.
AI players fly the same physically realistic vehicles you do and adapt to
each track, so every race is different. Online leaderboards and multiplayer
races keep the challenge going.

The PC and Mac alpha
Before the iOS release, we put out a free "multiplayer alpha" for Mac and PC
to test our new multiplayer engine, with separate builds optimised for
Oculus. It supported joysticks and RC remotes and offered three camera views:
third person, FPV with a 130° wide-angle lens, and a cinematic scenario
camera. It started with one class of vehicles on a single track, and later
builds added a main menu, three tracks including a new beach track, and
smoother multiplayer.
