Take On Helicopters demo lifts off!

Prague, Czech Republic, Wednesday 30 November 2011

Today Bohemia Interactive has released a demo-version of their brand new helicopter game: Take On Helicopters. The game offers an authentic helicopter flight experience, while bringing several other innovations to the flight sim genre.For example, players are able to get out of their helicopter and explore the thousands of km² wide terrains on foot. Plus the game includes an engaging story-driven career mode, which is set around the fictional Seattle-based family business Larkin Aviation. Missions range from filming whales for ocean-life scientists, to flying in formation in a veteran’s air show and assisting SWAT fast-roping operations on the roofs of Seattle skyscrapers. The demo gives a great taste of the unique array of helicopter gameplay featured in the full version of the game.

Take On Editing!

One of the 'goals' we set ourselves with Take On Helicopters was to find ways of better engaging the player. It's quite a broad goal, and it can be approached in a number of ways. Some of these, we've discussed in the past - like new animation work or gathering new source audio; others, like the Career Mode, provide a great structured way of presenting helicopters and drawing in the player. However, as with our Tutorials or Challenges, it would appear to be an ultimately finite experience - at some point you'll 'finish'. Not so: that's where the Editor really comes into its own.
