Description

World of Drift is a competitive drift simulator for PC, built in Unreal Engine 5 by solo developer Roberto Filip and published by Joace SRL.

Players battle door to door in tandem, leader and chaser, on random tracks and layouts. Every run is scored zone by zone on speed, angle and proximity. A dynamic world brings wind, wet and snowy surfaces that change the grip, and a cinematic replay system with physics-based cameras makes every run worth sharing.

Already built: Random Battle mode, P2P multiplayer with PlayFab matchmaking and accounts, a detailed results screen, the Cinematic Replay System, internal procedural track-layout tools, wheel and force feedback support, up to 4-player splitscreen and Ghost Mode.

World of Drift is developed in the open with its community on Discord. A Kickstarter campaign will fund team expansion, dedicated servers for ranked and tournament play, and the audio overhaul.
