New indie developer Kevin Westendorf from devotid.com has built a new Off Road Driving Simulation for PC. The game is titled “D Series Simulation” and It was built by a one man team over the last 2 years. It was created for Force Feedback Steering Wheels and currently features five vehicles and five tracks. When complete, D Series will feature an Open Practice mode, AI and Multiplayer mode across multiple racing disciplines. Racers will be able to compete in long distance and short track events on many different terrain styles around the globe.
He is trying to raise awareness for his new Kickstarter campaign. The campaign will allow him to finish the multiplayer and purchase new Unity software for DX11 visuals. If the Kickstarter is successfully funded, he will issue all eligible backers early Activation Keys to help him build the multiplayer and finish the game. The full game is scheduled for release to the public Q3 2014.
