  1. Thanks :) We're working hard to make them awesome.

    We're just going with leaderboards to start with - but multiplayer is definitely some we'd like to get added in the future, just not for the first version. We're going to be adding more collectables to the track soon too, so lots of coins to pick up :)

    With the planes, we definitely want them to look really unique. Maybe not as crazy as boat (though a boat with wings sounds pretty friggin' awesome), but each of the planes will have a manufacturer with a unique look and style.

    The game is going to be free to play, and we'll give more details on that soon. We'll be keen to get feedback on it.

    This game looks out-freaking-standing!

    I can't wait for this one!

    I hope there will be other theme levels as well (night with lighting, rainy level would be trippy as well)

    Great job!

    Everything sounds great! Will there be a leaderboard for each individual track?

    And I hope you find a pay model that works well, I think something similar to Jet Car Stunts could work well here.

    Fingers crossed for the boat sometime down the line :D

    Hey all! Elliot here; I'm the artist working on Tail Drift and I thought I'd stop in and say "Hey all!".

    Really glad that you all seem to be liking the art style we're going for; there's still a lot in the works and a lot of content planned in terms of aircraft and environments.

    As for boats, it is in the back of my mind....

    Inspiration comes from everywhere, and Stan Mott's 'The Supertanker Chopper' is certainly out there. ;)

    If you pop over to the blog and check out this post and click on that first picture, you may notice a few odd silhouettes! We've toyed with the idea of crazy aircraft over here, for sure.

    I'll be dropping in here from time to time, so If you have any questions, ask away! I'll do my best to answer them all. :D

    Hey everyone!

    Just thought I'd stop in and give you all a sneak peek at a new aircraft type, as well as two skins for it.

    Keep in mind these are work in progress; though we'd still love to know what you think! Taking suggestions for names!

  8. We're working as hard as we can! :D

    Spent a good chunk of today getting customisable contrails added. We want to make sure you can mix and match how your plane looks. I'll get up some more details very soon.

    This is looking really great :D The progress so far is very impressive and the racing seems spot on!

    Small suggestion: Change the 3 star system to a Bronze, Silver, or Gold medal system. A huge number of iOS gamers will roll their eyes and groan at the site of a 3 star system
     
  10. Thanks for the feedback!

    We're still in the process of finalising the interface, so we'll keep that in mind. :)

    Is that the only map?
     
  12. That's just our demo league we're using while we build out most of the game features. We'll be having a lot more races than what we show there.

    Looking great as usual! Nice to see the paint job selections as well
     
  14. Thanks man :) We still have a lot of user interface stuff to do (it's all squares and circles because I'm not an artist), but we'll get it looking much prettier very soon.

    We've got a Work in Progress version of our new plane, the Cloudburst.

    I'm a real sucker for rear-propellers ;)

    Whoa, that's really cool! I bet it looks sweet in motion.

    Any boats made it in yet? :D
     
  17. We have more planes planned, they're the boats of the sky!
