Nova Drift Will Leave Early Access in 2024, Deepest Discount Starts This Week
Nova Drift · published
Hello All,
Starting this week and lasting until March 23rd, Nova Drift is discounted at an all-time-low of 65% off. Also, full release is coming up in later 2024, so the price won't be this low again for a very long time. Now is a great time to buy a copy for your friend, mom, or very talented parrot.
The Soundtrack is also 70% off: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1156340/Nova_Drift_OST/
Work on the game's FINAL BOSS is well on its way. It's kind of crazy for me, actually. I've been thinking about the inevitability of this work, and project's conclusion, for so long that facing it kind of feels like the final boss of my mid-life.
I don't want to reveal anything about the game's finale, but I'm pretty excited about it. If you haven't been following the announcements, 1.0 will contain nice improvements including:
- "ENDFULL" mode (Endless mode turned off), for those who wish to savor victory (and not the void).
- Custom Skins! Including 3 new skins, and the ability to create & add your body own skins.
- Kickstarter backer deliverables.
- Enhanced visibility mode.
- Several other new quality of life settings.
- The usual round of balance changes to spice up the metagame.
With 1.0 coming up, we're ramping up marketing efforts. I will be real with you, I'm trying, but I am not great at it, can you help? I will be posting on a new TikTok page & my Twitter all throughout the sale. Follows, likes, and retweets can help Nova Drift catch fire again. If we can do that, I can keep putting quality first and foremost, no matter what, and keep making games you love. I really appreciate it:

People keep asking me about the future of Nova Drift post-launch. It's hard to say, a lot of it rides on how well launch goes, but there are a few things I'm pretty confident about:
- I really want to bring the game to major consoles.
- I really want to do mobile ports (it already runs!)
- I'm pretty confident that we'll add Daily Challenge Mode.
- Potentially some DLC with new gear?
- We will keep fixing bugs, adjusting balance, and adding QoL.
- I will continue to prototype games, and share the results with you, as I figure out what my next major project will be. And that includes experiments with other potential Nova Drift games.
Thanks for listening and I hope you'll love what I've been cooking.
