Here we just want to say THANK YOU to everyone who has been part of this journey!
After roughly 2 Years in Early Access Driftwood is now at version 1.0! Some of the most noticeable additions to the game since our Early Access launch in 2023 have been:
- Increasing the amount of levels from 4 to 15
- Revamping the van map and single player progression system
- Adding the online multiplayer
- Adding a many new boards, wheels & outfits
We are proud of how far we have come and feel like we have delivered on our original Early Access pitch from two years ago. That said, we plan to continue to support the game in post-launch updates and especially with hotfixes in the upcoming week. While we are happy with everything we have added we still feel like there is room for more content, features and polish.
