The Expanded Paint Shop Update!

The highly anticipated livery system is launching today for JDM: Japanese Drift Master! It was the final missing puzzle piece to fully represent the street car and drift cultures in the game and remained the most requested, by the community, feature since the initial release. 

It provides over a hundred decal designs and shapes, various improvements to the game’s paint shop, as well as the ability to paint the car rims, allowing for all players to fully let their designer imagination run wild. 

Long story short - we’ve expanded the Paint Shop experience with additional ways you can paint your car, added rim painting and the whole livery/decals systems, so you can drive on Guntama streets in a car from your dreams.

Added the livery option in the Paint Shop menu screen

• Choose from hundreds of decals and stickers to create your livery.

• Up to 5000 layers of stickers available at your disposal.

• Full control over the process: scale, rotate, colour, symmetry mode and various camera precision settings for a robust and pleasant user experience.

• Control over colour saturation, brightness and gradients.

• Ability to reorder, hide and duplicate layers.

• Saving liveries as presets - this also creates a separate save file in the game’s folder for each preset created.

• Livery sharing in multiplayer - just drive to and inspect a player in multiplayer to save their active livery to your own library of livery presets.

Expanded the Paint Shop car painting:

• Redesigned the UI for a better gamepad experience.

• Added colour gradients - two point system with a start and end colour selection. Players will also be able to change the colour angle, brightness, and saturation for truly unique designs.

Added rim painting:

• Single-part and three-part rims can now be painted just like the car’s body (stock rims cannot be changed).

• Material selection - factory finish, gloss, metallic, sateen, matt, chrome

• Control over colour saturation and brightness.

Fixed several crashes concerning, among others: 

• crashes caused by issues with force feedback steering wheels, 

• crashes occurring when entering the car parameters screen, 

• crashes caused by HUD issues, 

• crashes happening after collisions during gameplay. 

Traffic / AI

• Traffic and AI drivers now spawn correctly after leaving multiplayer.

Photo Mode

• Fixed a postprocess which oversaturated the scene in certain circumstances.

• Fixed issues with screenshots not saving correctly on Steam (they previously appeared with UI on the game’s page on Steam and players had to look directly into the game’s folder to find the correct ones).

• Fixed issues with the gear going into Natural when leaving the Photo Mode

• Fixed issues with the Landmarks activity - in certain circumstances the game would register a landmark even without the player making the photo.

General stability and performance improvements

IMPORTANT !!

Please update the game before launching multiplayer. The game needs to be up to date before you will be able to connect with other players!
