00:00:16.039 --> 00:00:22.800
all right guys I'm here at the Indie Cade checking out Zing the land Beyond with Corel what can you tell me about

00:00:20.519 --> 00:00:26.519
this game what is this game all right so uh Zing is a first person puzzle

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

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

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

00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:45.719
solve a lot of different puzzles go to a lot of Fantastical environments and meet

00:00:44.120 --> 00:00:51.280
different Spirits along the way in order to uncover who you are basically right

00:00:49.160 --> 00:00:55.160
so when I was playing uh immediate references came to mind to mist it's it

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

00:00:57.320 --> 00:01:01.760
puzzles all the time one thing I really appreciated too is I noticed a lot of

00:01:00.680 --> 00:01:05.880
people when they're trying to integrate with oculus uh go for like these first

00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:09.920
person shooter games and finally we're getting like an environmentally pleasing

00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:14.080
kind of Adventure puzzle game which is actually really cool how did you think

00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:18.360
of making this um so actually this started out as a college project in a

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

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

00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:32.280
something really really pretty and and fun and Fantastical and then uh I mean

00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:35.680
Oculus Rift came came out and was like huge and we had a Kickstarter and then

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

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

00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:48.600
medium definitely and I I played with the Oculus I didn't play with keyboard

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

00:01:50.240 --> 00:01:55.680
playing it with the Oculus 2 because like I said it's very environmental kind

00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:59.200
of Adventure go go around check things out kind of game and it was immersive

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

00:02:02.039 --> 00:02:07.520
so um right now we're actually uh running it in the unreal 4 engine we

00:02:05.560 --> 00:02:11.920
switched over to Unreal 4 about 2 months ago um before that we were working in

00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:15.440
udk and epic has been extremely supportive the entire time Oculus has

00:02:13.920 --> 00:02:20.959
been extremely supportive the entire time so we're just really happy that you

00:02:17.720 --> 00:02:23.000
know we're getting lots of uh Kudos and

00:02:20.959 --> 00:02:26.360
people telling us to continue right that's really cool so what what like I

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

00:02:29.040 --> 00:02:35.280
game wow I haven't actually been asked that question before but that's a good

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

00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:42.599
working on it for 2 years and the the

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

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

00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:53.080
cool um I don't want to actually ask way too many questions because this game

00:02:51.480 --> 00:02:55.480
seems more of like an experience I'd highly suggest you guys check it out

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

00:02:59.640 --> 00:03:05.959
should be 2014 release um don't quote me

00:03:02.959 --> 00:03:07.560
on that but but but we're really trying

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

00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:15.720
so it should be good great and then is it like Steam Greenlight or what

00:03:13.440 --> 00:03:20.040
platform yeah so we were steam greenlet uh last October and so we'll be there

00:03:17.760 --> 00:03:23.560
we'll probably be on Gog desora as well and um you know there there's a couple

00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:28.879
other platforms we we might be looking at to probably after

00:03:26.159 --> 00:03:31.120
