It's time for another update. This one was mainly focused on Multiplayer (1.3) which brings improvements to multiplayer sessions, along with few bug fixes and, of course, another Multiplayer exclusive! This time it's R34 Skyline!
I'm sure majority of you are familiar with such beauty! It's rear wheel drive, has enough of power and has one unique body coat. Enjoy!
Aside from that, Multiplayer (and main menu) UI were improved. You can now also see other players name's and unique ID's above their vehicles. I've also added new building (parking garage) near the spawn (on the left), where people could drift around and what not. As well as some stunt bridges for people to have more fun. Other than that, as I mentioned, I fixed a few bugs that were with multiplayer. I still have more ideas for multiplayer and game in general, so keep posted for another update.

1.3 Game Update - Multiplayer (Experimental)
Hello everyone!
Multiplayer Update is finally released! It is currenly in "experimental" stage, meaning it will be updated and improved over the course
of the week/months. Currently, multiplayer works by joining existing room (if there is one) or by creating one if there are none available. Each
room can have up to 20 players. Multiplayer includes both Single-Players vehicles (Police Vic & SUV), as well as new multi-player exclusive
vehicle "AE86". I'm sure lots of you would appreciate that new vehicle! I will surely add more by the next update, as well as improve multiplayers map
and things to do around it. Multiplayer also has chat system in it, in which you can talk to everyone. It currently hosts in US only, so if you're outside of US, your ping might be higher. I will see about creating custom sessions by each area (US, Europe, Asia, etc).
Please report all bugs in this specific thread:

1.2 Game Update - New Features & More
Hi all,
I am very excited about announcing 1.2 update, which is now available for download! If download hasn't started, just restart the Steam and download will begin short after.
Now, let me tell you about this update! First of all, I have added a new level dedicated to drifting only. It's a perfect winter map with greatly made road. You would surely love it! Aside from that, I've spent more time on its atmosphere, so please enjoy! There is also a new 4x4 vehicle in the game, Police SUV Cruiser. Since its 4x4, it would be harder to drift, but I'm sure you can manage!
As of right now, all vehicles can take damage (currently visual only and won't affect performance). I have also created lift system, which is located in the garage next to your house. Simply park your car on the lift, lift it up and fix the car! Yes, you heard it right! You can now fix your damaged cars at no cost! It might be sometimes buggy but I will sure to fix it by 1.2.5 update.
I have also improved vehicle handlight and worked on ground physics. No more lame physics on any ground. Now, if you will try to drive on the grass/terrain, vehicle will act differently than on the asphalt/road. I have also optimized code since a few players experiences occasinal stuttering issues; now it all should work just fine. This update also includes a few bug fixes and improvements.
Aaaand there's an easter egg hidden in the new track. To give you a hint, you'll have to activate two "triggers" after which a new object somewhere would spawn, which you will have to find in order to unlock easter eggs achievement. I won't be giving any other hints until at least 7 days passed. Good luck.
I think this is it. I might have missed something, but surely mentioned all big things regarding the update. I will release 1.2.5 update within a week in which I will include new cookies and baking system; and after which I will begin workin on 1.3 update - the multiplayer.
Thanks for all support and love!! Enjoy the game!! ((:
1.1 Game Update - Achievements & Score System
Hello to all!!
I just released 1.1 update and it should be available for download. If it isn't, simply restart Steam and it will start downloading it!
1.1 Update brings 17 awesome achievements:
Now to the Score System. It should now save all stats (tyde points, drift points & game points [GP]), so you don't have to grind over and over to get to certain point and unlock the achievement. It now will be saving all stats and work as intended.
Now, I wanted to tell you more about GP. Currently, you cannot do anything with GP, but accumulate it. What I have in mind is to add "Shop" feature, in which you will be using GP in order to fix your vehicle and buy (unlock) new ones. It's already 6:30 am here and even though I feel very excited about working on an next update, I will surely release GP Shop update within next 3-5 days. On theory, it should be easy to implement and I'm very excited to work on it. It's time to get some rest, thank you all!!

Hello gamers!!
I am saddened to announce that we will have to push our release date on a later date, due to the review process taking it a little longer than we thought. But, that gives me more time to improve the game and prepare a better build for the release.
Until then, I would advise you to join our (newly created) group:

We will do "Tyde Pod Challenge" 100 keys giveaway in the next few days, so keep your heads up, and thank you for support! ((:
