We have just released two things, new #DRIVE Rally Hikari Update and new 30% Steam Summer Sale!
Todays update continues our ongoing support for #DRIVE Rally following its 1.0 release.
Wed like to say a massive thank you to everyone whos been playing, leaving feedback, posting reviews, and reporting bugs. The good, the bad, and everything in between were listening, and it genuinely helps us make the game better.
One of the biggest focuses of this update is a complete overhaul of the penalty system something weve been wanting to revisit for a while now.
Previously, the penalty system worked like this:
If you went off-road (even slightly), you got slowed down.
If you hit racing tapes or nets, you got slowed down even more.
If you went too far off-road, your car would be reset to the road and youd get a 3-second time penalty.

With the old penalty system, two main problems started to show.
First, corner cutting was just too effective going full speed through turns and going offroad didnt slow you down enough to make it a bad idea. And then there was the unexpected one: some players figured out that instead of braking into a corner, they could just slam straight through racing tapes or nets to slow the car down instead. People were using our track barriers as a braking tool. That's not exactly what we designed them for.
So, heres what weve changed:
Weve removed the slowdown effect for simply going slightly off-road (like with 1 or 2 wheels).
Weve reduced heavily the slowdown effect for hitting racing objects like tapes and nets.
Instead, if you go far enough off the main route, youll now see a new OFFROAD! warning popup.
While in OFFROAD popup is active, your car will be slowed down until you return closer to the main road.
Go even deeper off-track? Just like before, your car will reset and youll get a 3-second penalty.

We believe this approach will encourage more technical and skillful driving, while at the same time discouraging unrealistic stage cutting and making most of the old skipping spots useless.
Since this update significantly changes how you race, weve decided to reset all online leaderboards. Its a fresh start for everyone to compete fairly using the improved penalty system. So grab your favorite car, hit the track, and go climb that board!
We are also adding a totally new car - Hikari 1995, available in three classes: CL, RS, and XR. With 6 unique livery designs and 12 color presets, available for in-game $500 each.
Hikari XR 1995
Okay, well admit it that main menu beat was getting a bit old. If you've played the game for more than ten minutes, youve definitely heard it on loop at least 300 times. We knew it was time for a change.
So, we went digging. Really digging and hey, we found some absolute bangers.
Now, when you boot up the game, youll be greeted by Eigengrau by Nihilore instead of that same old womp-womp loop. Its fresh, it slaps, and it sets the mood a lot better. But thats not all weve added a full lineup of new tracks that youll hear during the racing.
They come from some seriously cool artists: Nihilore, hellstar.plus, ROZKOL and Rrrrrose Azerty. All the tracks are released under Creative Commons Attribution licenses (3.0 and 4.0), which means we can share them with you directly in the game, and credit the awesome artist behind them properly.

Hello, drivers!
We're excited to inform you that we have answers to our recent QnA Session!
All your questions were answered by the developer and CEO of Pixel Perfect Dude - Dariusz Pietrala.
Will the game be free?
We're aiming to set the price at around 20$, but you should keep an eye for a special launch discount as we want to kick things off with a bang! But most importantly - we will be using regional pricing, we want to make sure that everyone who wants to is able to join the fun, no matter where they live.
Will there be rich visual customization for vehicles like different panels, wings and etc.?
Yes, you will be able to customize cars but we will tell more about that feature later. In a few weeks
I would say.
Will there be in-game purchases after buying the game?
No, #DRIVE Rally is a pay 2 play title, so there will be no microtransactions and no premium currency. There might be some paid DLC's in the future but they will usually be bigger content packs, not something small like cosmetics.
Will the game ever be released on mobile platforms?
We're a small indie studio so we have to take priorities - and right now our main focus is to deliver the game to PC's and Consoles.
What about Online Co-Op?
No plans for that at the moment, and no idea how a coop rally game could look like.
Will there be Online Multiplayer?
#DRIVE Rally is a rally game, so while you'll be able to compare your scores with other players, you will not be able to race them in real time.
Are you planning to making various contests, e.g. for the best fan-made coolness or vinyl?
Of course! The car paint contest is just a beginning!
I wonder if we'll get a demo on steam to try the game out before buying it
We're planning to do some closed beta tests and launch a demo next year.
How many likes does fan-made idea (e.g. map, car with coolness, or mechanics) has to have got to introduce to #DRIVE or #DRIVE Rally?
We're not running a popularity contest, if you have a cool idea just drop it on our Discord and we'll consider it It needs to fit our vision, the game's style and, of course, it needs to be possible to implement to the game, it doesn't matter if your idea gets 1 like or 100 likes - the chances to get in the game are the same.
How much free range of customization do we have for cars and etc.?
As mentioned before, we'll announce that feature later next year.
Will the game have a career mode?
Yes, but we will give more details closer to the release. It looks pretty cool though
Will the control methods of #DRIVE rally be the same as original #DRIVE? I mean like sensitivity and steering type
The driving in #DRIVE Rally is a totally new system so it will be a new experience. Acceleration, braking, handbrake, that kind of fun stuff
Will there be realistic drift in the game?
We're aiming for an arcade driving feel so drifting yes, but much more fun than in simulators. Not that realistic.
I think I'm going to ask this the 2nd time If the game would be single player does that mean the AI also improved?
#DRIVE Rally is a rally game so it won't include any real-time AI opponents during the race.
Will cars have ABS?
Cause it's arcade style driving it's hard to say if it's your typical ABS, but some assists are added to the car physics.
Will each car in the game have its own authentic engine sound? (Or just like in the #DRIVE there will be only a few basic sounds for all cars?)
We're aiming to have separate car sounds for each car and class.
About the wood trailer thing from one of your devlogs, are we going to have delivery jobs?
This is not that type of game, sorry And not every devlog is about #DRIVE Rally...
Are there gonna be snow tracks?
We will be offering a wide variety of tracks in #DRIVE Rally, stay tuned for more updates!
Do the new cars in #DR have new names (like the Audi Sport Quattro S1 in the trailer)?
Yes, the 2 new cars you saw were Sandsturm and Celestia, the car from the trailer is Sandsturm.
Will we be able to pre-purchase it?
No pre-purchase plans at the moment.
Even though this is a rally-focused game (I mean, rally is literally in the name), will there be other cars available?
Depends on what you mean. We will try to add some cars that are not your usual rally cars. I hope that answers the question.
Will there be subtitles?
Yes, accessibility is important for us and subtitles are super important part of making sure that everyone will be able to enjoy #DRIVE Rally, we will also offer a wide variety of text localization options.
Will there be ridiculous vehicles?
As long as it's cool and fits the style of the game, why not?
Any cars based from the 90s Group A or early WRC era?
We only focus on trends from each era in car manufacturing so you might expect some shapes and patterns from the 90s and the 80s.
Will there be Car Tuning like Camber Offset?
Because we're doing an arcade game there's no plan to include more mechanical car upgrades but only per class differences.
Are there going to be seasons in the new #DRIVERally? just like what's happening in #DRIVE.
No plans for seasons or season pass.
Will there be a Coolness system?
We're completely reworking our customization system, players will have more possibilities of customizing the car - we want to make sure that your car will be truly yours and you will be able to design it your way.
Any sort of damage system?
No plans for that, sorry.
In the new game, we'll have new songs or remixes of the songs we already have on #DRIVE?
We're creating this game from scratch, so expect new songs, however - #DRIVE veterans might spot some references here and there.
What DLC's are planned to be added ingame?
We're focused on finishing the game first, after that we'll think about the DLC's. We want to make sure that DLC's will offer a great value for their price, rather than offering a single car for example.
That's it! Thanks for all the questions. Stay tuned for more information in the future!
