Drift Stage [Special Expo Version]

Due to the continued popularity of 'Drift Stage' Pre-Alpha v0.1.1 prototype, Super Systems has organized a public release of ‘Drift Stage Pre-Alpha v0.1.2’.

Designated ‘Drift Stage:  Expo Edition’; this unreleased variation of the extremely  popular ‘Drift Stage 0.1.1 Pre-alpha Demo’ was quickly prepared for use at various events and expos. With a focus on fast competitive play, this streamlined and polished build never saw wide-spread use due to minor bugs and development oriented features such as 'cinematic camera' controls used in making the games first promotional videos. Unique to this version, a ‘rolling start’ intro leads into a three lap time attack, pitting you against rival ghost cars on the twisty sunset swept overpasses of Eventide Highway. However; You’re behind the wheel of the mighty ‘Tedesco’ super car this time. You’ll remember it as the  ‘Advanced’ ghost car you’ve been chasing since 2015.

A full attract mode to finish game-play loop is present, unlike 0.1.1, which had an endless lap counter. This change was made specifically for arcade cabinet setups and demoing at events. Beyond the aesthetic and mechanical changes, this version features refined lap timing and ghost car recording. The changes to the code result in more accurate reproduction of your previous personal best times. The trade-off being more jumpy looking ghost car graphics; but with more accurate speed, position and throttle data compared to the smooth and eye-pleasing iteration in v0.1.1.

The initial response of Drift Stage by fans and supporters go beyond any of the original teams expectations. We hope you enjoy this small part of Drift Stage’s history. During a games development, prototype & experimental builds tend to be discarded after new versions are completed. In an effort to preserve as much of Drift Stage’s alpha and beta content, we are encouraging fans to archive and share this free prototype with their friends.
