Bright Lights Drive is a racing game concept based in a fictional region of Japan. The game offers multiple game modes and gameplay mechanics revolving around the use of drift and car's light trails. It is heavily inspired by Initial D, Need for Speed (Black Box era) and Auto Modellista.

Anecdotes:

• The first project iteration had a vaporwave art direction, which led to the idea of using the car's light trails as a gameplay feature. While the art direction has changed drastically, the project name and logo still give throwback to this era as they haven't been reworked yet.
• The first prototype was named C@rcade. Notable features were that the car direction was controlled with the mouse because I couldn't properly reproduce the same game feel with other input methods, and that all the sounds (in game, menus and UI) were made by mouth.
