Game Update, Build 0028
A well balanced car that looks as good as it drives. We think that its greatest aspect is how well it handles, give it a try!
We have received reports of save files getting corrupted and players losing all their progress, and we understand how frustrating this can be! As such, in this new build of the game, the latest 10 save files will be kept. When loading, the game will search for the newest file, and if it is corrupted, the game will automatically attempt to load the older save files. Hopefully, this will prevent total loss of game progress and only rollback some progress in the event of a file corruption
One of the most requested additions is for collisions to have a little more oomph. We've now added collision sounds, and we think they sound pretty good and add a decent amount of immersion to the game
Another long standing complaint is that the game runs poorer than expected. We've worked on optimizing much of the rendering pipeline of the game: as such, it should now yield a much higher framerate. However, this is not the end of our optimisation process! We are still in the midst of making more tweaks and adjustments to further boost the performance of the game. Our work will also lay the groundwork for more graphically demanding features such as rain, and VR. Stay tune for more updates in the coming (month)!
- Fixed reflection settings tied to user, now device specific - Fixed interior lighting materials of some cars - Slightly optimized car file sizes and loading - Attempted fix for odometer NaN bug - Improved various materials across some cars

While the Unity debacle was happening in the previous month, we decided to hold back on developing major new features for the game. In the meantime, we have spent some time researching on alternative game engines, in addition to polishing and fixing some long standing issues within the game. After the most recent announcement by Unity, we've decided to continue to stick with this game engine and development of TS should continue as planned

Touge Shakai (Mountain Pass Society) is an online Touge Racing Game based on Japanese car culture in the 90s. With an emphasis on balance between realism and fun gameplay, the physics are tailored for competitive drift racing, while giving a challenge to all players.
The driving physics are mainly simulated, but not to the extent of hardcore racing simulators. The driving characteristics of each car is tailored to be distinctly different from each other, and require drivers to master different driving styles to bring out the best in each car. The objective is to be fun while remaining believable. However, there's a twist to the driving physics: Drifting is faster than grip driving for most rear-wheel drive vehicles.

Race against the clock with various cars and courses to improve your pace and compete on the leaderboards. Players can also challenge the “ghosts” of other players, which are apparitions of their previous runs to learn from their driving. Medals are awarded with target timings, and provides progression for customization for each car.
PvP Battle
Classic touge-style battle. Battles rules include "First to finish" and "Cat and Mouse". Cat and Mouse has a leader and a chaser, with the leader trying to pull away and the chaser trying to keep up. The leader wins when they finish the course by a fixed distance from the chaser, while the chaser wins if they manage to overtake by the finish. The race moves on to the next round in a draw, with their positions reversed. Cat and Mouse mode is recommended as it provides the fairest battle, as overtaking is difficult and dangerous on the touge.
Team battles consist of multiple PvP Battles ongoing at the same time, with the team with the most wins coming out on top.
Free Ride
Practice, socialize and start impromptu races with others on the touge and just have fun! Learn from others and enjoy the course without the pressure of winning or losing. Showcase your rides and hang out with other racers and teams.
