We're very happy to finally have announced our game, Legends of the Round Table and to start building this incredible community that will hopefully be full of vibrant folks of all types! Fans of medieval History, roleplaying games, Arthurian folklore, beautiful art and music or just people that like to swing swords and ride fast horses! đ
If you haven't yet, please remember to wishlist Legends of the Round Table (LotRT) on Steam! This makes the Magical Steam Algorithm like us and show the game to more people, more friends, woohoo! đ
LotRT is a game with a ton of intriguing stories, exciting adventures and incredible art to enjoy. We've already been dropping small teasers of what's to come before putting up the Steam page, so we figured we'd make a post here to show you what you missed so far!
Inspirations
Sometimes, we like to go to real life medieval fairs and watch real riders jousting, 13th century style!
P.S.: Have you signed up to our newsletter yet? You should! Click here to do so!
Gameplay Previews
There's quite a few knights you'll be able to recruit to the Round Table, we showcase them every now and then. Here's one of our favorites, Sir Gawain. You can read more about him in our 4th newsletter that dives deeper into some gameplay mechanics.
Art & Music
Some of LotRT's most unique aspects are the beautiful, hand-painted illuminated manuscript art and the music played on real, period-accurate instruments!
Our recent newsletter, Medieval Music for Videogames, written with the help of Anne Azema from the Boston Camerata, goes over the unique challenges of creating the OST for the game!
We also occasionally publish musical extracts directly from the game to give you a taste of the excellent songs and music you'll enjoy during your adventures.
When it comes to the art, the game's stunning visuals draw inspiration from illuminated manuscripts of the XIIIth century. Our artist has meticulously hand-drawn the environments, staying true to authentic medieval painting techniques, including the tools, dyes, and colors available during that period.
Here's a short sneak peek at the care and love that goes behind painting the elements of the game. https://youtu.be/Vtrlc17Z1W0

Are you ready for Christmas? Let us help you get into the festive spirit and we have a special gift for you! It is a Christmas update! It will be released on December 21st at 8 pm CET.
Christmas Update
As with the Halloween update, we'd like to add some festive flair to JDM. We hope you enjoy these little treats.
From Thursday, the trees and streets of Japanese Drift Master will be covered in snow. As you go through the winding streets of the Japanese city, you'll come across snowmen and scattered presents (try driving into them to see what happens), and you might even find our Christmas Wish Truck! On the technical side, we're still working on the in-game tweaks, so you should notice an improvement. We won't give away all the details of the update today, so you'll have a bigger surprise on Thursday!
Today we say goodbye, but we'll be back on Thursday with another devlog, a new update, and the release of the JDM demo on GOG! Thank you for all the bugs and suggestions that have been reported. We're aware that some wheels and hardware still don't work quite right, but we'll do our best to make sure everyone is happy with the full version of the game! We take any feedback from you very seriously, so if you would like to share your opinion with us, please visit our Discord. Mention Japanese Drift Master in your letter to Santa and add the game to your wishlist on Steam! Stay tuned.
We associate the snowmen from the new update with the strange character Zero-Karoten, from the Booze Masters: Freezing Moonshine, which Asmodev recently released. We are excited to be the publisher of this crazy game. We encourage you to experience the adventure in the frosty motel "La Sorpresa" for yourself, and now is a great opportunity to do so, as the game is discounted by 15% until Wednesday!
