Game Update, Build 0048
In our opinion, all cockpit based games should support VR, as they're the best ways to immerse players in the experience. Now, we're proud to say that Touge Shakai supports Virtual Reality! If you have a headset that works with SteamVR, TS should work with it. We also believe that TS is one of the most detailed racing games in terms of interior animations, and we're really proud of it. Now, they can be experienced as intended!
In our implementation, all of the regular user interface has been adapted to work within the VR environment, and the menu experiences should be familiar. During scenes that are unsuitable for VR, such as camera panning or third person cameras, the game will render these scenes on a "virtual monitor" to prevent motion sickness.
Just a couple of things to take note of:
Another great track from the past has been made for TS, and... it's Myogi! A unique but unusual aspect of this location is that for parts of the course, the sides of the road are flanked by wide and low pavements. It's up to you to exploit them to achieve the best racing line!

It's time for VR!

Just a couple of things to take note of:
- Please bind the "Reset VR Position" control within settings before firing up VR
- If you have SteamVR installed, enter the game normally and an option to "Activate VR" should be on the main menu
- There is a setting to lock the camera to the horizon under "Camera" settings
- VR mode is still slightly experimental and there might be some things we have to fix
New Track: Myogi

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.
