Animator/producer L Bee wants longer running time as well as a reveal of vehicles, locations and NPCs that will be in the game planned for November 2027 release.
“I'd rather do it the way I have REALLY been wanting to do for years and not rush it just to make the original release date I announced back in January 2026.
At that time the game project was still concepts on paper and wasn’t sure how it would all take shape. Here it is almost a year later, the music soundtrack with volumes 1 - 3 covering plenty backdrop grooves and now having a working BETA model of the game. I feel I owe it to myself to do this right and have the movie tie in with the game.
CarTown DRIFT [REDUX] 2012-2018 is over 24 minutes long and complied of all the animation I had done over those years. I want this movie to be an actual movie of at least an hour runtime. Currently it is at 35 minutes which I am VERY happy with thus far however I can put so much more into this to make it really stand out. I’m not rushed with a hard deadline under some studio, this is all me.
So I choose to give it more time.
To strive in reaching my full potential while celebrating the evolution of CarTown DRIFT from animation to video game.”
