We would even go so far as to say it is a new genre that we like to call, “Multiplayer Creativity Shooter”. Drones, arenas and rulesets are defined and constructed by you. You can construct drones and arenas together with your friends in multiplayer. You can choose the complexity of the gameplay and this ranges from a quick match to a highly strategic and tactical experience. While the Sci-Fi setting gives us a lot of freedom in development, we try to make things as plausible as we can.

An example would be our camera system: We don’t just have a 1st person or 3rd person camera, we have camera mounts that can be attached on a drone (by you), just where you want them to be. This results of unseen freedom. If you are not satisfied with a perspective, it is up to you to change it. The cameras, may they be regular, thermal or any other type, can be destroyed and repaired during a match. So, if your main camera is damaged, you have to fight with screen artifacts or switch to a fallback camera. Even a 3rd person camera is not just an abstract thing, but a micro drone that follows your drone to give you the advantage of a greater overview. However, these can also be damaged or destroyed and in such a case you would need to revert to one of your first person cameras.

Your weapons and defense mechanisms also play a significant role in gameplay. While the weapons certainly have an impressive “smack”, more important is that they have certain strengths and weaknesses. Some types of weapons shoot armor piercing projectiles but lack shield penetration ability. They have different distance ranges in which they are efficient. You need different types of weapons to fight differently equipped enemies. More details will be revealed in the ‘Equipment’ section.

The Spaceships:
As a drone operator, you travel the galaxy with your own spaceships, mostly granted from your sponsors, although you can also purchase secondhand ships to start your career.

Your ships, equipped with a hyperdrive, are able to use the established hyperjump points in the galaxy to get from one point to another, fast. They are also capable of space exploration (to some extent). Most ships are not only equipped with a Drone Design Unit, but also with Terrain Forming Units and Arena Block Constructors. Many drone fighting arenas have been built on previously unclassified or even undiscovered planets. The IFDT (Interstellar Federation for Drone Tournaments) has determined that drone operators can rate the arena they have played in. This makes it possible for the IFDT to feature the best arenas on the D.R.O.N.E. Networks and also ensure that good arenas get attention and bad arenas are sorted out.

The Drones:
Dynamic Remote Operated Navigation Equipment – D.R.O.N.E.
Drones are generally unmanned vehicles and exist in great variety. However, the drones as they are approved by the IFDT, are small to medium sized and heavily armored. They are usually built by you, the drone operator, and equipped with all kinds of high tech gadgets. Drones can be ground, aerial or submersible vehicles or hybrids. Some drones are even capable of navigating in a vacuum and zero gravity. The way drones are built is not regulated by the IFDT in general, but there are some limitations to keep the tournaments fair. Drones cannot exceed a certain size and the parts that are used are categorized and rated. Depending on the sum of the part ratings, a drone is eligible to be used in a certain league. The main design purpose of these drones is to destroy other drones in the most efficient way. Nowadays drones are successors of the FPV (First Person View) controlled drones from the early 21st century.

Arenas:
As a drone operator, you not only design your own drones but you can build your own arenas and set-up tournaments as well. You can even have a small Terrain Forming Unit on board of your ship. You can specialize in building the most thrilling arenas there are. Your arena is rated by other operators, so it is always the goal for you to get high rankings and therefore fame and income. If you receive a lot of fame, you are more likely to get featured on the D.R.O.N.E. Networks and your arenas will receive more admiration and “Playtime”.
