A few years ago, we revealed our drone sim was used in NASA’s analog Mars training. Now, we’re building Liftoff: Offworld, a full-featured sim for space-inspired drone missions.

Below is an in-engine shot of our Dragonfly-inspired mission on Titan, known for its vast methane lakes.

Last night was the 4th LGG Meetup in Hasselt, and wow, what a night! With 70 gamedevs showing up, it was our biggest and best one yet. Free drinks, good vibes, games, and plenty of lost voices this morning. Huge thanks to everyone who joined in, you're the heart of this amazing community!

#ShowcaseFriday level design at different (early) stages.

Milestone reached! Trough Liftoff: XR Drone, another 40,000 virtual drone pilots have joined our Liftoff community.

What began as a "quick experiment" has rapidly transformed into the highest rated drone experience on the Meta Quest platform, with a dedicated development roadmap.

Each year we celebrate our best Liftoff pilots. Tournament winners get awarded a Champion Badge.
Our final Liftoff Pro League 2024 Champion Badges are being sent out, and a new 2025 badge is in production!

Wet feet...

My first try at making fresh pasta, huge success! 🤌

Last "work"day of the year with the amazing LuGus team!

#ShowcaseFriday Our Liftoff community has created and shared more than 5000 racetracks on the Steam Workshop.

Here's the track we commissioned from a legendary track designer "DerHonk" for the final of a year-long tournament. The world best Liftoff pilots will battle it out on this intense track.

For today's #ShowcaseFriday, I’m happy to reveal the newest addition to Liftoff: FPV Drone Racing! Meet the Racewhoop, a cool drone designed by a Belgian pilot and meticulously recreated in our simulator.

We aimed for release last week but hit some bugs, shooting for next week now! Wish us luck :)

Exactly a year ago, we secured an amazing office for LuGus Studios in the center of Hasselt.

Now, we're expanding by acquiring another 170m² in our building, that we hope to transform into a creative space for game startups, solo devs, and even students.

I’ll share more as plans take shape.

In the LGG Discord community, we do a weekly #ShowcaseFriday to encourage devs to share and discuss work (we don't work in the weekends... looking at you Screenshot Saturday 😏).

I'll be sharing these on bsky too:

The art-team has just finished work on a new level for Liftoff: Micro Drones

Here's some of the #drones represented in Liftoff: Micro Drones. Each model is a faithful replica of real drone from our partnered brands, we pride ourselves in offering the most authentic virtual twins.

Currently available in #EarlyAccess, but the full launch is just around the corner.

Excited to join GameMentors.be as a mentor! Starting a game studio has its highs and lows, and this initiative, thanks to ForsVC, connects founders with mentors who’ve been there. Looking forward to supporting new creators on their journey!

Level dev is a significant bottleneck, so we now release day and night versions, reusing most of the design while refreshing content for new gameplay. This approach optimizes production cycles while delivering unique experiences, keeping us competitive in a market flooded with asset-flip projects.
