New environments in the works!
While we've never stopped working on new environments during development of Liftoff, they often take a lot of time to create. A simple a asset can take days up to weeks to create and some environments contain hundreds of complex assets, Hannover being the best example of that. Those of you who follow us on the Liftoff Community Group have seen us tease 2 new environments. We know a lot of you ask us for new environments to play in and we are committed to making that a reality. While they are not quite ready yet, they are getting closer to release.
