A downloadable game

Description:
Drive Locale is an arcade racer with vehicle physics and vibes loosely inspired by the older Initial D Arcade Stage games and Auto Modellista. Drive JDM cars through stylized renditions of Japan's famous mountain roads like Haruna, Akagi, Iwaki, and more.

Race through the campaign breaking time trial and drift records in three different classes of cars on seven different tracks. Beating each class of the campaign unlocks the next class of vehicles for campaign and quick play use.

If that's not your thing feel free to use the Time Attack and Drift quick play modes to try and set new records using the currently unlocked cars.

Now features split-screen co-op.

Playing on controller is recommended but not required.

Background: 
This was a project I started near the end of 2024 with most of the development being finished by early 2025. There was more I wanted to do with the project, but life had some other plans for me.  Instead of letting the project sit in an almost complete state I figured I would just put it out there and work on it as I can. This is my first project that I'll be putting out to the public so I hope it may entertain a few people.  

System Recommendations:
I've not been able to adequately test how demanding everything is I will attempt to throw out some recommended specifications for 1080p 60fps on high settings:

CPU: Ryzen 5 1600x (or equivalent)
GPU: GTX 1060 3gb (or equivalent)
RAM: 8gb DDR4
STORAGE: 1.3gb free storage

Other Notes:
There is a bug with alt-tabbing on controller. To fix this upon tabbing in move the mouse, the cursor will be invisible, but resume can still be found and pressed.
