JDM: Japanese Drift Master News

[p][/p][p]Sorry for interrupting your drifting session but we have some special news regarding one of our upcoming titles: Ghost Keeper. [/p][p]In cooperation with Quest Craft we’ve just launched a Kickstarter campaign for the game.[/p][p][/p][h3]Pledge your support => KICKSTARTER[/h3][p][/p][p]It would mean the world to us, if you could visit the site and check the project out. [/p][p][/p][h3]What is Ghost Keeper[/h3][hr][/hr][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][p]It’s definitely not a racing game :) but it’s a very cool and really ambitious project, which we fully support and can’t wait to play the full thing.[/p][p][/p][p]Ghost Keeper merges classic elements from beloved old-school, reverse horror, tactical games with various modern innovations, allowing you to delve into the ultimate scaring experience. Become the leader of a group of peculiar monsters and experience equally strange adventures set in 19th-century England.[/p][p][/p][p]The game is a tactical sim with real-time gameplay and an active pause mechanic for more control over your minions. Command ghosts, beasts and demons, each with their weird personalities and even stranger powers to spook, sabotage, spring traps and do all kinds of other menacing activities to get rid of those pesky mortals once and for all! [/p][p][/p][p]Each level of the game is its own, distinct sandbox, full of ‘toys’ ready to be weaponized. Each mission is a fresh playground of unique opportunities forcing the players to adapt on the fly and devise schemes around them. There is no golden path to victory - each task can be completed in multiple ways making each playthrough a very personal experience. [/p][p][/p][p]Game Features:[/p]

• [p]Take control of ghosts, demons, and monsters, use their unique abilities to defeat your enemies.[/p]
• [p]Fight the malicious Brotherhood, show the world who is the ultimate Keeper of fearful creatures.[/p]
• [p]Exploit varied strategies, there is never a single path to victory - the way you lead is entirely up to you.[/p]
• [p]Enjoy a truly grotesque approach, witness a host of bizarre situations narrated by the peculiar, malicious narrator.[/p]
• [p]Marvel at the Victorian era setting, locations, style and atmosphere that’ll captivate you on each subsequent level.[/p]
• [p]It is an ultimate scaring experience! Remember that only through fear, can you claim true power![/p]

The goal is set for only 55,000 PLN (~12,500 EURO) with many stretch goals planned to expand the development scope.[/p][p][/p][p]The game is slated for a release in 2026, with the possibility of an Early Access launch in Q1 if the specific Stretch Goal from the Kickstarter campaign is achieved. [/p][p][/p][p]Pledging to support Ghost Keeper comes with special perks, relative to the value of players’ generous donations: from obtaining the game key early, through receiving the OST or a digital art book, to designing various elements of the game and immortalizing yourself in the lore of the game.[/p][p][/p][p]Surpassing the initial goal of the campaign will unlock further features for all players and supporters of the game.

[/p][p]JDM: Japanese Drift Master has been out for a little over six months now. It’s been one hell of a ride with its ups and downs. Thousands upon thousands of feedback notes from the community, constructive criticism and words of praise and encouragement later we’re here to summarise the game’s achievements.[/p][p][/p][p]The one single game element, which our entire community seems to be at an agreement with is the quality and diversity of the soundtrack. From rock/metal, through hip-hop, J-Music into the more street racing genre defining radio stations like Phonk and Eurobeat - it seems everyone found something to vibe with while cornering that next touge serpentine. [/p][p]
This is why we kindly ask for your votes for the Best Soundtrack of 2025 at the Steam Awards.[/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][p]Beginning today you can cast your vote for any eligible game on Steam in nine different categories: GOTY, Best Game on Steam Deck, Better with Friends, Outstanding Visual Style, Most Innovative Gameplay, Best Game You Suck At, Best Soundtrack, Outstanding Story-Rich Game and Sit Back and Relax.[/p][p][/p][p]Although we find the Best Soundtrack nomination as the most adequate for the game, feel free to nominate us in any of the categories. We assure you, every vote will be cherished deeply by our team![/p][hr][/hr][p][/p][p]If you want to talk about game music, JDM or cars in general, we have an ever-growing community of passionate people at our discord server.

Buy it on Xbox Store[/p][p][/p][p]Launching on consoles is a big thing for us. It has been six months since the PC release. In this time we have been continually expanding the game with new content: adding new cars, new features, making a lot of gameplay adjustments and solving countless bug reports, we even squeezed in a DLC in there! What we’re trying to say here - it has been a LOT of work. And all of that found its way to the Xbox version of the game![/p][p][/p][p]The struggle was well worth it though! We managed to gather a wonderful, dedicated community that’s not afraid to nitpick our work but also has the guts to share words of encouragement. We hope that the Xbox version will bring even more new players in, who will share their own experiences and soak in the beautiful and highly technical art of drift and the drifting culture in general. [/p][p][/p][p]Thank you all for your support! [/p][p][/p][p]PS.
