About Funselektor
Indie developer Dune “Funselektor” Casu has a thing for racing, having produced faithful meditations on both Drifting (Absolute Drift) and Rally (art of rally). You can be sure he has both eyes fixed on composing more minimal racing titles in the future!

The release of top-down drifting game Absolute Drift on Steam in 2015 cemented Dune’s status as an indie darling, and was followed by releases on PlayStation 4 ®, Xbox One, the Apple App store. Following the growth of the Funselektor team during the course of 2020, they have set their sights on Nintendo Switch and are excited to be bringing Absolute Drift to the platform on December 3 2020.

The game has over 250,000 downloads up to this day with Very Positive reviews (92%) and brings with it a dedicated fanbase for Dune’s next game: art of rally. This stylized rally title pays homage to the golden years of rally and the cool vintage cars of that period, and has a September 23 release date set for Steam, GOG and the Epic Games Store.

You can find Dune all across Canada and the US, driving around in his van/office-on-wheels. For more information head to the Funselektor website at http://funselektor.com
