✈️ A New Update Has Arrived!

Pilots,

Another update is here! This one brings a bunch of things I’ve been wanting to add for a while — new ways to fight, new targets, a livelier map, and a few changes behind the scenes to make the game feel better.

⚔️ New Game Modes: 2v2 & 4v4
Dogfights don't always have to be one-on-one. You can now take to the skies with other aircraft and fight in larger team battles.

🎈 New Targets: Anti-Air Balloons
I've added anti-air balloons to the battlefield. Keep an eye on the sky and put your guns to good use!

🌊 Water Interactions
You can finally stop pretending the water is a runway. Aircraft can no longer simply land on the water's surface, making low-altitude flying over the sea a little more dangerous.

🏠 More Buildings Across the Map
The world is slowly becoming a little less empty, with new buildings scattered around the map.

📈 Experience System Reworked
You now earn experience even when a battle ends before you complete it. Your progress is no longer completely lost just because the battle didn't go your way.

🤖 AI Collision Avoidance
I've also worked on AI pilots to make head-on encounters a little less... explosive. You're now much less likely to collide with an AI aircraft.

📜 Full Changelog

• Added 2v2 game mode

• Added 4v4 game mode

• Added anti-air balloons

• Added water interaction and collision

• Added new buildings across the map

• Reworked the experience system

• Added XP rewards for incomplete battles

I’m also getting Dogfight Era ready for Steam Next Fest. There are still plenty of things I want to improve before then, but this update is another step toward getting the demo into the best shape I can.

I’m still working on making Dogfight Era feel like the game I have in my head, and every update gets me a little closer.

Thanks for playing, testing, and sticking around while I build this game. ❤️

See you in the skies, pilots. ✈️
