JDM: Japanese Drift Master News

We finally bring you a report from an amazing event - Pyrkon! This was the first, but certainly not the last event where we had the pleasure of presenting our game, JDM: Japanese Drift Master live. We encourage you to check out our vlog of the three days of Pyrkon, to see how much fun we had and everything that happened.

The main attraction of our zone was the tent, where stands with computers awaited you for you to test your skills on specially prepared tracks. The competition was fierce until the last minute, and some of you returned on other days to beat your records. During the event, you could take part in two competitions. We prepared two special events: Grip and Drift, the winners of which were rewarded with packages that included:

• JDM T-Shirt,
  
• JDM key lanyard,
  
• an early access to the prologue of JDM: Rise of the Scorpion,
  
• JDM stickers.
  

During Pyrkon, we had the opportunity to work with the Jeremiah Kane band, one of the creators of the music for our game. Our stand featured drift cars, including a very special one wrapped with the character from our prologue - Ayumi. The pink car with #LetsDrift stickers and the Japanese Drift Master logo became quite the attraction, drawing crowds of visitors eager to take photos with it.


At the event, we also attended the Game Days Show conference where our Event Manager had the opportunity to answer many questions from the community. We discussed the upcoming prologue, the manga-style storyline, in-game sounds, and the birth of the collaboration between JDM and the Jeremiah Kane team. The conference was hosted by Dominik Bos and Krzysztof M. Maj, who brought a lot of energy and professionalism to the event. If you weren't able to join us live, you can watch the entire conference on Krzysztof M. Maj's channel (2: 20: 05).


We would like to thank everyone who visited our stand. Your enthusiasm and positive responses were amazing! Some of you had heard of our game before, while others were discovering it for the first time but each of you brought something special with your feedback and good humor. Thanks to you, we know we are on the right track!


Special thanks to Diablo Chairs for providing comfortable chairs and desks, and to HIRO for providing the computers and monitors that allowed the game to run smoothly and effectively. Your support was invaluable!


This was our first event, but certainly not our last. We look forward to future opportunities to meet you in person, share our progress, and celebrate our passion for drifting and Japanese car culture together.


Just a reminder that you can play the free prologue of JDM: Rise of the Scorpionon 18th of July! Add the game to your wishlist on Steam and join our Discord for regular giveaways. Stay tuned for the latest news and don't miss any surprises! See you there.
