Early-Access
We're working very hard to make Volo Airsport a unique, beautiful and thrilling experience, but we're not done yet! With your support we can expand the game, and make it into the best aerial playground you've ever seen.
Volo Airsport will change significantly over the course of development. If you are not excited to play the game in its current state, then you may want to wait until the game progresses further in development.
What does Early Access mean, and what do I get for my purchase?
You get instant access to the game and can start playing! You get access to current and future versions of Volo Airsport for a single purchase.
The price will increase as the game grows. If you want to get it cheap, get it now.
What's in it now?
- A single, finely tuned wingsuit to fly with
- A fully customizable parachute, with complex aerodynamics
- A huge landscape inspired by the Swiss and French Alps, with lots of lines to try
- An advanced and completely customizable time and weather system
- Time trail courses that show you some cool lines to fly on the map
- Highly configurable graphics and input settings
- VR Support (Gamepad Required)
Where is it going?
The game design is changing as we go along, but we can tell you that we're thinking about the following features:
- Online Multiplayer
- Walking, jumping from exit points
- Player-designed Skydiving Styles
- Customizable Gear Design (Aerodynamics & Looks)
- Player-Created Events and Challenges

Jobs
Join the team of two game makers working on the early-access title Volo Airsport.
3D artist (Freelance or Internship)
We’re looking for someone who can take control over large aspects of the look and feel of the game. As a 3D artist you think and discuss about how to best translate the concept art to in-game 3D models. Since the game is currently in early-access you will immediately see your work out in the wild.
- Modeling, texturing, rigging, and to a lesser extent animation.
- Experience making characters and environment props.
- Used to working with an iterative workflow.
- Not afraid to tackle problems you’re not familiar with.
- Experience with sculpting, retopo, and baking for game engines.
- Experience with the Unity engine.
You’ll work in a multidisciplinary team where everyone has multiple roles.
- A chance to learn the ins-and-outs of developing an early-access game, how to make design decisions, expand the game and deal with feedback from the community.
- A chance to work on an indie title that has a very dedicated community.
- Help with the technicalities that come with building models for a game, including performance and time constraints.
- A financial compensation for your efforts.
To apply send us an email with your motivation and portfolio to info@volo-airsport.com
P.S. Volo Airsport does not contain any guns.
