Greetings!
It's been far too long since we've last made an announcement, but at last we're able to give some updates on what's been happening. It's taken a while, and we apologise for that, but after much discussion, numerous meetings across multiple time zones, and doing our due diligence, we've finally consolidated all IP into one entity, Vector Z Studios. This required bringing together the original company behind Midair CE, the newly-acquired Midair IP, and agreements from everyone who's worked on the project since its inception. Along with this merger came a change in the title of the game, from Midair CE to Midair 2.
Aside from that, the good news is that development is back up and running! We're pushing forward with a new matchmaking system, more QoL improvements, new maps, an updated website/store, and more user stats. We're also excited to announce two new game modes: Duel and League. In Duel, you'll be able to make use of matchmaking to fight it out 1v1 over a set number of rounds. In League, two teams will build points by passing flags before shooting them into a goal. Points are determined by a number of variables that reward more spectacular passes. This new mode will introduce several maps, a flag-throw strength meter, bouncy out-of-bounds grids, and a new grenade type that converts horizontal momentum to vertical. We're excited to see what you think, and plan on tweaking things based on player feedback. Cosmetic goal effects are also planned.
Last year we began planning and developing our roadmap which we'll make available soon. We have exciting plans for additional game modes, new weapons, new packs, end of match awards & steam achievements, leaderboards, seasons and a progression system to earn credits for cosmetic items. We're also nearly ready to release a playtest version of Midair 2, which will be open access (no more keys!). Watch this space!
