Ossu!
It's been a while since we've been here, but we haven't forgotten you! We hope you've missed us a little. Today we come to you with answers to your most burning questions that came up during our last Q&A session on
Discord.
Q: Please let us know when you will reveal the release date.A: Unfortunately, we can't reveal a specific date yet, but it will be in the fall of 2024.
Q: When will you reveal the full car list? Are you still adding more cars to the full game?A: We will provide information on available cars near the launch and yes, we are constantly working on new cars.
Q: How many km of roads are there in the full map, and how long would you expect to travel from one side of the map to the other?A: Tough question, the planned area will be big, in the demo there is about 10-15% of the map. There will also be tracks, events, and other attractions.
Q: I could see a road similar to Akina in Initial D on the map. Will you also have roads similar to Akagi and Irohazaka?A: We can't reveal it but know players' expectations.
Q: I am not into drifting, but I love grip touge racing. What percentage of events in the full game will be grip events?A: You will certainly not be bored, we are planning various events.
Q: What are your inspirations when you create the game?A: Each team member has different inspirations, but mostly we are drift and JDM car enthusiasts.
Q: Will there be DLCs for the game in the future?A: We can't reveal anything officially, but we have plans on how to develop our game in the future.
Q: What feature are you most excited about adding to the game?(Certain track? Uncommon car interaction - car wash, tire change? Specific car, etc...)
A: It would be a storyline inside the game, this will be something that will distinguish our title.
Q: What will the maximum capacity of players be in each online lobby?A: It's not specified yet, we are still working on it.
Q: Will there be a ghost car feature to practice tandem drifting offline/solo?A: We have a plan for this, however, the game is still in production, so I can't say how it will look.
Q: How many tracks will there be on the initial release? And will more be implemented in future updates/DLC?A: We can't reveal that, we are preparing a lot of surprises for players.
Q: How much will the game cost?A: Less than AAA games, we can’t reveal the full price yet.
Q: Will there be a prologue or second demo before the release?A: We say anything without an official announcement, stay tuned!
Q: Will there be more detailed cockpit animations, such as characters shifting through gears like in Gran Turismo 4?A: We are still working on it, but as we show in the demo, there is an animation of characters shifting through gears.
Q: Will there be different exhaust systems that change how the car sounds depending on the exhaust system installed, rather than having just one sound for different exhausts?A: It is possible, we have a great sound engineer who does all sorts of wonders with the sounds.
Q: Will the game be released physically and digitally for PS5/Xbox?A: We are focusing on PC at the moment, and consoles afterward.
Q: Will DLSS be integrated 100% in any future of the game?A: We can't promise anything. The game is still in production, we are working on many things and features.
