Terraria 1.4.4 update dev shows off drone skills, asks for fan courses

pcgamesn.com:

The Terraria 1.4.4 update Labor of Love is here, and one of the most fun new items introduced in the latest patch for one of the best crafting games is a fully pilotable drone. The Kwad Racer Drone is a fast, flighty thing that can really zoom around the map – if you can wrap your head around its sensitive controls. Of course, someone who’s had a bit more time to practise is Re-Logic artist Jim ‘Jaxrud’ Kjexrud, and he’s been showcasing his skills to fans.

The Kwad Racer Drone can be bought from the Cyborg for 10 gold after defeating Plantera – so you’ll have to work your way through quite a few Terraria bosses before you can get your hands on one. In addition, the Cyborg offers an accessory called the FPV Goggles for another 10 gold. Wearing these will let you see a ‘first-person view’ – essentially causing the camera to follow your drone while it is active, rather than fixing to your player character.

Despite its somewhat wide appearance, the drone can squeeze through one block wide gaps – meaning that plenty of Terraria adventure mode fans are already talking in hushed whispers about the potential for some creative maps using the drone to navigate through complex maze systems. YouTuber BlueJayT Gaming shows off a basic test design, which includes several pressure plates used to open gates in the maze. However, as a newcomer to the drone controls, it took him quite a few attempts to navigate around his creation.

Re-Logic’s Jaxrud, on the other hand, has been showing off what can be done by a more experienced user. In a video on his Twitter, Jaxrud dances around a mid-air course made of bricks, weaving in and out of small gaps and spinning through the air as he makes his way around the various obstacles.
