Touge Shakai (Mountain Pass Society), or TougeS for short, is an online Touge Racing Game based on Japanese car culture in the 90s. With an emphasis on balance between realism and fun gameplay, the physics are tailored for competitive drift racing, while giving a challenge to all players. The game is built upon our fan-made creation Initial Unity.

In Touge Shakai, the driving physics are mainly simulated, but not to the extent of hardcore racing simulators. The driving characteristics of each car is tailored to be distinctly different from the others, to prevent the feeling that each car feels the same, just with different performance numbers. The objective of the physics is to be fun while remaining believable. However, there's a twist to the driving physics: Drifting is faster than grip driving for most rear-wheel drive vehicles.

 

The goal for this campaign is to replace all art assets with original content, add new features, and get the game to Steam Early Access

Time Attack

Race against the clock with various cars and courses to improve your pace and compete on the leaderboards. Players can also challenge the “ghosts” of other players, which are apparitions of their previous runs to learn from their driving. Medals are awarded with target timings, and provides progression for customization for each car.

 

PvP Battle

 Classic touge-style battle. Battles rules include "First to finish" and "Cat and Mouse".  Cat and Mouse has a leader and a chaser, with the leader trying to pull away and the chaser trying to keep up. The leader wins when they finish the course by a fixed distance from the chaser, while the chaser wins if they manage to overtake by the finish. The race moves on to the next round in a draw, with their positions reversed. Cat and Mouse mode is recommended as it provides the fairest battle, as overtaking is difficult and dangerous on the touge.

Team battles consist of multiple PvP Battles ongoing at the same time, with the team with the most wins coming out on top.

 

Free Ride

Practice, socialize and start impromptu races with others on the touge and just have fun! Learn from others and enjoy the course without the pressure of winning or losing. Showcase your rides and hang out with other racers and teams.

*Note: Not all features will be available on the first version of Early Access, and will be added progressively through updates

 

The personnel we currently lack are 3D artists. 3D models seen in the trailer and screenshots above are modified models of mods made by the community for other racing games. The majority of the funds will go to hiring 3D artists to produce original, optimized assets for the game. Smaller requirements are to acquire resources and hardware to support more controllers, wheels and peripherals such as VR. The rest of the funds and any excess will go towards general development of the game, and hiring more artists to generate more content for the game.

 

• 3D Artists : 60% 
• Steering wheel Support : 10% 
• VR Support : 10% 
• General Development : 10% 
• Mystartr: 10% 

Noted: 

• The General Development is including the server rental fee
• Steam list game deposit is 1000 USD which is flexible to the Ringgit Malaysia

The amount of content will be limited based on the funds we manage to gather. However, we intend to release it in steam early access, with the worse case with very limited number of cars and tracks. Revenue generated will be put into further content generation to expand the game
