Hi everyone,We want to take a moment to talk openly about the current state of the game and the recent Steam reviews.We see that many of the reviews are negative, and while some contain very valuable feedback, others don't clearly explain what feels wrong or disappointing. That makes it harder for us to understand what we should prioritize and how we can improve the experience for you.From day one, we've taken a transparent approach:we openly call this project Early Accesswe don't hide bugs or problemswe take responsibility for mistakesand we work on fixes continuously, update after updateWe're a very small team, but we care deeply. We're building this game because we love cars and making games, not to rush out a "1.0 product", but to grow something together with you.If you want to help improve the game and the reviews here’s what helps us the most:What exactly feels broken, frustrating…

- Early Access for DRIFT ISLAND starts today! - 28 August 2025
Early Access for DRIFT ISLAND starts today! We’re excited to announce that from today, you can jump into the Early Access version of DRIFT ISLAND! It’s the very beginning of our journey, and we’d love to build this game together with you. Why you probably shouldn’t buy our game (yet) Let’s be honest: this is Early Access. And that means: - There’s not a lot of content right now. - Plenty of things might not work as expected. - If you’re looking for the polish of a finished game, you’ll most likely be disappointed. So if you want a full, complete experience - you should wait. Seriously. Come back later when we’ve added more features, content, and stability. But… if you’re the kind of player who loves to see a game grow from the ground up, who enjoys giving feedback, sharing ideas, and helping shape a project - then welcome! Here’s what we promise: - We’ll keep the price at a very friendl…
