Hello Drifters, new and old:
The last month has seen a lot of new players enter the arena, so we'd like to welcome you and make sure you know what's coming up:
ROADMAP
First, let's look at the big picture:
ENEMIES 2.0
This is a massive overhaul & update to the types of enemies that you encounter and how they behave.
Nova Drift usually gets a significant content update every 2-3 months, but Enemies 2.0 is *so very big* that it may be a while before the final iteration is available to all players. We are still trying to figure out if it's possible to release Enemies 2.0 in multiple updates, or if it just needs to be one massive patch. More info on it can be found here, in the second half of this blog post.
Almost all of the new work being done on the game is Enemies 2.0, so expect more info about it soon!
REVIEWS
Please leave a review for the game, if you have a moment: https://store.steampowered.com/recommended/recommendgame/858210/. This helps new players discover the game as well.
F.A.Q
Got a question about the game? It's probably answered in the #frequently-asked-questions channel of our Discord Server, which is the main community hub for the game outside of Steam.
SOUNDTRACK (DISCOUNT & STREAMING)
Did you know that the OST currently has 27 tracks and grows with every major content update? Check out the OST on Steam if you haven't yet, it's currently 45% off for the next 2 weeks. If you'd like to see how the music gets made, follow the Pixeljam Twitch Account to be notified when music production streams go live.
LOCALIZATION
If Nova Drift is not available in your native language yet, head on over to Localizor and see if you'd like to contribute. German and Korean seem to be the languages that might get implemented next.
GLOBAL SCOREBOARD
Being able to track scores and share and import builds(!) across all platforms is something that has not been talked about much, but it's also in the works, and ties into the upcoming Draft Mode. More info on that as it develops :)
Thanks for reading... and here's to much more drifting in 2021!
