JDM: Japanese Drift Master News

Remember our last challenge in which we asked you to reach 30,000 followers on Steam JDM? Despite concerted efforts, the goal was not achieved. However, we know how dedicated you were, so we have prepared a small prize for you.


[h2]Update[/h2]
Although we fell short of our goal, we want to reassure you that your efforts were not in vain! As a token of our gratitude, we have a surprise for you - a mini update introducing the black Hanoda Civil to the open world! We hope this new addition will bring you even more fun driving and exploring the JDM world.

But that's not all! As reported by our community, the update also includes a potential fix for a bug causing cars to straighten out on their own when drifting with the heavily lowered chassis. We've been working on this to give you an even better experience, and we hope you like the changes. Be sure to let us know if the issue has been resolved.


[h2]End of the demo[/h2]
Just a reminder that the Japanese Drift Master demo will only be available until 14 February. There's not much time left, so make the most of the opportunity to experience the world of JDM before the full version of the game is released. Keep an eye on our social media as we have a few more surprises for you.

We look forward to your reactions to the latest update and encourage you to share your impressions on our Discord. Your feedback and opinions are invaluable to us and help shape Japanese Drift Master. Also, don't forget to add the game to your Wishlist on Steam to keep up to date with upcoming news. Thank you for your support and dedication. See you on the track!

You may not have expected a devlog on a Sunday, but we have some important information for you! Can you guess what it might be? We won't keep you in suspense any longer. We would like to announce that the Japanese Drift Master demo will be extended until 14th February! Why such a decision? We are in a hurry to explain.

The demo was due to disappear on the last day of January, but due to an update, we have postponed this until the 4th of February. We have received some very positive feedback from you and would like to give you a chance to enjoy the new features a little longer. We are very pleased that you have enjoyed the latest update so much and to celebrate we are extending the JDM demo until 14th February! As we all know, this is also Valentine's Day, and since we love you so much, that's why we chose this date :) We hope you enjoy this little gift from us.


[h2]What's next?[/h2]
Once access to the demo is disabled, we do not intend to stop working. We have a very intense period ahead of the release of the full version of Japanese Drift Master.
