A tiny hobby project
Download
What is this?
dDrive is a personal experimental project about vehicle driving. It’s built in the Stride 3D engine, because I really enjoy exploring and experimenting with it.
The project is currently in a very early pre-pre-pre-pre-alpha stage 🤣. I’m sharing prototype builds just for fun, curiosity, and maybe a bit of feedback from others who enjoy tinkering too.

I’m not accepting issue reports at this stage (there are many known issues and triage isn’t the focus yet). I’ll share updates on this site.
Recording Policy (Screenshots & Videos)
Recordings are welcome (streams, videos, screenshots). Please keep the small version label visible at the bottom of the frame — it helps prevent confusion with old footage and tells me which build a clip came from.
