Well, we have finally done it. This update adds the ability to manually select your region from the lobby screen. No longer will you open the game and be unable to find a friend's lobby even if you are on the same Wi-Fi. This update adds a tool to the top-left corner of the menu to change regions. By default it is set to the US East Region. We recommend you change it as necessary, as playing in a region far away from your actual location will result in lag and you may or may not have fun playing like that. That said we are excited to put this update out which fixes the most glaring issue and we hope you are all now able to fork your friends! Enjoy, and thank you all for your patience.

Overview

Have you ever wanted to flip your friends? Well now you can! Forkdrift is an indie action game where you control a forklift with a serious drive for competition. This vehicular action game has its own goofy twist, featuring physics-based shenanigans and strange, customizable forklift pieces. Players compete online in one of two major game modes. Whether working alongside teammates or fighting for yourself, the mayhem of drifting, tipping, and crashing with reckless abandon is sure to put a smile on anyone’s face! Do you have what it takes to steer your team to victory?

Game Features

• ONLINE MULTIPLAYER

With the ability to host and join lobbies anywhere in the world. Play against friends or total strangers in order to prove your skill!

• DELIVERY MODE

A team-based game mode where you and your friends work together to protect and transport your team’s package. Whichever team can keep their package in the control point long enough will win!

• FORK FRENZY

Yeah, customizable forklifts! Pimp your ride by choosing your favorite wheels, chassis, forks, and maybe even a fedora on top? Additionally, in Fork Frenzy, you can even change your forklift’s color!

Development

Forkdrift is developed by Endless Suffering, a dedicated team of undergrad students that completed development of Forkdrift during the COVID-19 pandemic. This has meant changing all of our development practices and techniques halfway through development in order to transition to working remotely. Despite this, we were able to soldier on by keeping the goal of providing a fun, complete, exciting game at the forefront of the team's mind. We are all proud of our work and hope you will enjoy Forkdrift as much as we do!
