Back in 2012, L Bee started a facebook fan page for a game called Car Town (2010-2014). She liked how gamers were able to customize their ingame avatars. Seeing a players avatar working in their own garage added a sense of ownership for players.
Naming her fan page ‘CarTown DRIFT’ mostly for the love of the import drifting automotive sport. It was a place of sharing her created skin template designs for ingame vehicles. She created individual ‘DRIFT’ member posters and vote to win carshows that showcased members created avatars & vehicles. The crew had reached over 180 members.
CarTown DRIFT took a life of its’ own with the motto ‘ARE YOU IN?’ Bringing the love of a game together with creativity in making original characters and vehicle designs. Other well known talented community designers such as CTC Customs and R711 had their avatars and designed vehicles cameo in a series of animated short films in 2012.
Bringing friends and her own in game avatars to life in 2D animation. Created in Corel R.A.V.E. 3.0 which was fun, very hands on, and tedious program.
Animation was frame by frame. To get full movement each character had to be segmented in photo shop. Breaking down parts of each character.
To move limbs, eyes blink and look in different directions took alot of layers as well as facial expressions etc. Realizing this took to long to create as well as limited Windows Vista processing power L Bee decided characters would small hop for walking motion with some arm & eye movement. Adding a slight shadow under the characters as they moved gave depth.
At the height of popularity CarTown DRIFT had 22,000 fans. After the game shutdown in 2014 eventually CTD page fans dropped to 16,000. She occasionally posted throughout the years and observed that ‘DRIFT’ members and fans were still following her fan page.
In December 2025 she wrote the lyrics for ‘Car Town Fan Song‘ and posted a music video which gained a few thousand views.
January 2026 L Bee decided that now technology has reached a level to allow her to make one last animated movie on a level she has always wanted it to be from day one. CarTown DRIFT will be released on YouTube 11.26.26.
CarTown DRIFT music tracks can currently be found on Soundcloud, Spotify, iTunes, Pandora, iHeart and many more online platforms. There are plans on revising the original 2012 animated short films an official date has not been announced. Also looking into the possibility of making an actual game (TBA).
