JDM: Japanese Drift Master News

Welcome back, everyone! If you follow Japanese Drift Master’s social media channels, you may have seen Tuesday's post teasing today's devlog! We want to showcase the achievements and hobbies of one of our developers who recently took part in a drifting competition! Our team puts a lot of effort into making sure our game replicates drifting mechanics as closely as possible, so taking part in this event was an excellent opportunity to observe and learn.


[h2]What is Next Level Drift?[/h2]
Next Level was born out of a passion for the most exciting and spectacular art of motoring - drifting. The Polish group aims to bring back the original roots of drifting, i.e., aggressive driving combined with unique car styling.


[h2]Event[/h2]
Last weekend, i.e. 22-23.07, an international drifting event took place at Autodrom Jastrząb - the most modern automotive training facility in Poland. The style was at the forefront, so you could meet many beautiful, lowered, and aesthetically pleasing cars in a truly Japanese atmosphere!

The event featured one of our devs, BananaBoy, who has been around the drift community for a good couple of years. His car won the award for best drift car! It is worth mentioning that he built his car, especially for this event over a period of three weeks, staying up all night to combine his hobby with work. We are very proud of his achievement! There was also an element of our production, as you can find stickers from Japanese Drift Master and Gaming Factory on BananaBoy's car!


As you may already know, we are constantly working on the demo version of our game, which will be released very soon. We are working hard to bring you the best entertainment and real Japanese style drifting right from the start! We encourage you to join our Discord where you can share suggestions, your own cars and achievements with other drift fans! Add JDM to your wishlist on Steam and see you in the next devlog!
