JDM Japanese Drift Master Introduces Massive 5000-Layer Livery Editor and Expanded Vehicle Customisation

JDM: Japanese Drift Master has received a substantial update introducing an advanced vehicle livery system, answering one of the community's most frequently requested features. Developer Gaming Factory has expanded the Paint Shop with more than one hundred decal designs and shapes, allowing players to create custom liveries containing up to five thousand individual layers.

The editor supports adjustments to scale, rotation, colour, brightness, saturation and gradients, while additional tools allow users to duplicate elements, change their order and apply symmetrical designs. Custom creations can be saved as presets and shared indirectly with other players through the game's multiplayer environment. By inspecting another player's vehicle, users can save its active livery to their own collection.

Wheel customisation and technical refinements

The update also introduces more extensive wheel customisation, including independent colouring of multi-part rims and finishes ranging from matte and satin to metallic and chrome. These features are relevant to Japanese drifting culture, where vehicle appearance and personal expression are closely associated with the motorsport itself.

Beyond visual improvements, the update addresses technical issues involving steering wheel force feedback, vehicle settings, collisions, traffic behaviour and Photo Mode. Interface changes improve controller usability, while stability improvements should make multiplayer sessions more reliable.

JDM: Japanese Drift Master is available on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The new editor represents a meaningful addition because customisation can extend the lifespan of driving games by encouraging players to experiment and share their creations. Five thousand layers might sound excessive until somebody decides to recreate an entire anime illustration on the side of a sports car. At that point, the only limitation is patience and possibly a healthy respect for one's free time.
