Project Drift news & patch notes

The steering angle of a car can be controlled by the amplitude of the joystick. Vehicles in both drift modes can now generate exhaust flames. AI cars turn on and off their headlights according to the scene. Fixed a bug in the end screen of the custom exercise mode.

We have been persistently improving our products and are very excited to introduce this update!

1. Main menu remake:

We have remade the main menu and added new background music! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43594627/40c66de36fd1008876dd166d689acaefd6a86bde.jpg

2. Drift AI:

We have modified the enemy's AI, and the enhanced AI has better drift performance. They will frequently drift in bends. Newly generated enemies in custom exercise mode also have better pathfinding performance. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43594627/1db2016650ab459748001b37d2cc5b353d728f4f.jpg

3. Brake light:

Added Brake light. When drifting and reversing, the brake light with a halo will light up

4. Widescreen optimization:

Optimization has been made to solve the issue of incomplete widescreen UI display, and now the game UI can be well scaled on a very wide screen. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43594627/57baa08cc277ff1d230ba9887b9c446aecf7ae72.jpg

5. Replay System:

The Replay system has been optimized to no longer record stationary cars when pausing the game.

6. Car selection:

Fixed the issue of selecting a car, and now the car you used in the previous race will be retained when returning to the main menu, without the need to select it again.

Fixed bugs about tutorials, tweaked the main menu

Fixed a bug regarding tire slip sounds

Added tutorial function, which will automatically guide players when entering the game for the first time, and can also be found in the main menu Changed car sound effect in button drift mode Optimized car sound effects.

Optimized the program for manga graphic filter.

Carefully adjusted the program values of inertial drift and button drift, now the drifting and driving of the vehicle has become much easier than before, and your vehicle will no longer lose control and turn in circles easily. In the inertial drift mode, the grip of straight-line driving will not be easily reduced to an unsafe level. After the speed is increased, drifting is easy to occur when turning, and it is much easier to save the car by hitting the opposite direction. In button drifting, when the button is pressed to turn, drifting is easy to happen, after releasing the button, the skidding will stop quickly, and your vehicle will never turn in circles again. We have always valued your gaming experience and will continue to improve this game in the future.

Changed a bit of numerical value in inertial drift mode, reducing the difficulty of the game

Slightly adjusted some programs.

Slightly adjusted some program

The exercise options menu can now be hidden and recalled

Fixed the bug that the mouse moved the camera too fast in the new input system

Fixed a bug about initialization settings

We have replaced the input system with a new one, and now the game not only supports XBOX controllers, but also Sony PS controllers. We have also added a custom key binding system, allowing you to freely determine the function of the keys. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43594627/20b044270ca60879c4c5ce2387afe3768d270cd5.jpg

Enhanced guardrails to prevent players from frequently flying off the track We are working to have custom key binding launched this week

Fixed bug about drift sound&smoke in new drift system.

Recently, the game has received some negative comments, and we believe they are very constructive. It is our fault to provide players with an insufficient gaming experience, so we have updated them based on these comments. We have built a new driving system. Using inertial drift (physical drift) instead of "gave it a fairly unreliable dedicated drift button". Now supports manual shifting! AT限定? MTだ! The higher the gear, the lower the torque of the car and the faster the maximum speed {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43594627/e739c0c89d38a0326852840708b55bd147fa7698.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43594627/65145fcf5104526338b330d302e117f0cbe81191.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43594627/03dafaa585ed4e9d6d99959ca33e1d6930a80d8f.jpg If you are accustomed to the old operating mode, you can switch back to the legacy one in the settings. The additional settings have been added to the local configuration library, which means you don't need to reset them every time you open the game. Fixed some errors and optimized the program. We hope you all have a complete gaming experience We are currently developing a custom key binding system and PS controller support, and will add more new features in the future Thank you for your company

Fixed some bugs Manual shifting and physical drift are under development.

Fixed a bug where tires do not produce smoke when the handle controls car drift Fixed some other minor bugs

Fixed noise issues

A switch to control the collision is added in the settings. After it is turned on, there will be collisions between vehicles. AI vehicles will automatically reset after overturning or flying off the track, and you can push and bump them freely. Removed grass in the middle of some roads. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43594627/778bf9276e7257c1d463325b43dd0fe02bfe0646.png

According to user feedback, we have improved the UI When a UI is selected, there will be a noticeable animation effect of size changes, rather than just slight color changes. The UI can be pressed and cancelled using the AB button of the gamepad, and the gamepad control of the car free-placement menu in free exercise mode will no longer conflict with car driving. Fixed bugs about camera. Thanks to nomorevideos's kind suggestion.

We have received valuable comments and made improvements. The speed of all vehicles has been increased. Added a switch for the manga graphic filter. If you don't like it, just turn it off directly. Fixed some errors Optimized the program We have always valued player's feedback and will continue to improve player's experience.

Get behind the wheel of legendary Japanese cars! Slide down mountain roads with beautiful angles! Accompanied by your own favorite music. Just like a manga! We hope you all have fun in this passionate era.

As the release date approaches and some product keys have been sent, we welcome any suggestions or bug reports from anyone, and we will handle them at top speed! Please feel free to share your thoughts here.

For better manipulate, we have just reconfigured the game controller and used a more suitable joystick button setting for drifting games. We have also fixed some bugs including volume adjustment and joystick control perspective. Thanks to GamingCouchPotato’s kind feedback! We will continue to improve our game. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43594627/bedf3c88735aa9bd918b59da83df28affae37881.jpg

We have added a multi perspective feature, and now the game can use three cameras (perspectives). They are first person camera, third person camera and free look camera. We also adjusted the camera parameters to make it more flexible. Thanks to Gozushi's kind suggestion {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43594627/e5d29562f29d17f98be08a598ddf0285cd90a66e.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43594627/3bc8627635da917391671cb8bed4571e73df8592.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43594627/62e9495fb4afc84e0d3d862e1c659fb6f85ed03f.jpg

We've developed two new pieces of content! They are custom BGM function and training ground mode! The custom BGM feature enables you to select local mp3 files as the background music of the game, and you can drift in your favorite melodies! Just need to configure it simply in the settings! The training ground mode offers an 8-shaped circular track to train your drifting skills. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43594627/6a3dd0dd7c011e7e779eff4e2f4222245a277ad8.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43594627/1f00e3aa701787bd26e338fe8873e8970f956f12.jpg Based on Gozushi's kind suggestion, we will soon be adjusting the camera and developing a multi-view function. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43594627/ba1c4f210c5dc8ce2c25277c995e4b946639756b.jpg
