all right guys I'm here at the Indie Cade checking out Zing the land Beyond with Corel what can you tell me about

6
00:00:20,519 --> 00:00:26,519
this game what is this game all right so uh Zing is a first person puzzle

7
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:31,960
adventure for the PC and we have it today on the Oculus Rift as well um I

8
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:37,559
mean zing is a story about the afterlife and what happens is uh you're dead and

9
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:41,680
you have to try to find out you know who you are and um why you're there and you

10
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:45,719
solve a lot of different puzzles go to a lot of Fantastical environments and meet

11
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:51,280
different Spirits along the way in order to uncover who you are basically right

12
00:00:49,160 --> 00:00:55,160
so when I was playing uh immediate references came to mind to mist it's it

13
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:58,840
feels like I'm on some sort of Island I'm not entirely sure uh I'm solving

14
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:01,760
puzzles all the time one thing I really appreciated too is I noticed a lot of

15
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:05,880
people when they're trying to integrate with oculus uh go for like these first

16
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:09,920
person shooter games and finally we're getting like an environmentally pleasing

17
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:14,080
kind of Adventure puzzle game which is actually really cool how did you think

18
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:18,360
of making this um so actually this started out as a college project in a

19
00:01:16,119 --> 00:01:23,320
classroom uh the three of us just met in college and we decided to make a game

20
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:27,040
like this and we we started on just on the PC um and we wanted to make

21
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:32,280
something really really pretty and and fun and Fantastical and then uh I mean

22
00:01:30,079 --> 00:01:35,680
Oculus Rift came came out and was like huge and we had a Kickstarter and then

23
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:41,240
everyone was like put it on the rift and we were like all right we're going to do it you know and and um I mean it it fits

24
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:45,000
so perfectly so we just thought you know why not I mean it's a fantastic new

25
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:48,600
medium definitely and I I played with the Oculus I didn't play with keyboard

26
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:51,880
or Mouse but I can't imagine it would be difficult in any way it was very cool

27
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:55,680
playing it with the Oculus 2 because like I said it's very environmental kind

28
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:59,200
of Adventure go go around check things out kind of game and it was immersive

29
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:03,600
and it's beautiful what kind of engine you guys running this or did you guys do it yourself or how does that work yeah

30
00:02:02,039 --> 00:02:07,520
so um right now we're actually uh running it in the unreal 4 engine we

31
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:11,920
switched over to Unreal 4 about 2 months ago um before that we were working in

32
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:15,440
udk and epic has been extremely supportive the entire time Oculus has

33
00:02:13,920 --> 00:02:20,959
been extremely supportive the entire time so we're just really happy that you

34
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:23,000
know we're getting lots of uh Kudos and

35
00:02:20,959 --> 00:02:26,360
people telling us to continue right that's really cool so what what like I

36
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:31,280
can tell you're deeply connected with the game what is your favorite part of this game what brings you towards this

37
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:35,280
game wow I haven't actually been asked that question before but that's a good

38
00:02:32,879 --> 00:02:40,440
one um I'd say my favorite part of this game is is the fact that I've been

39
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:42,599
working on it for 2 years and the the

40
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:46,400
the fact that I I play it like every day every week and I'm still not bored of it

41
00:02:44,640 --> 00:02:50,080
and I still love playing it yeah that's a that's a good answer and that's very

42
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:53,080
cool um I don't want to actually ask way too many questions because this game

43
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:55,480
seems more of like an experience I'd highly suggest you guys check it out

44
00:02:54,480 --> 00:03:02,959
when would someone be able to get their hands on this uh so we're looking to release uh at the end of this year so it

45
00:02:59,640 --> 00:03:05,959
should be 2014 release um don't quote me

46
00:03:02,959 --> 00:03:07,560
on that but but but we're really trying

47
00:03:05,959 --> 00:03:11,680
like we've been pushing and um honestly I mean we we're still on target for that

48
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:15,720
so it should be good great and then is it like Steam Greenlight or what

49
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:20,040
platform yeah so we were steam greenlet uh last October and so we'll be there

50
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:23,560

51
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:28,879
