lonus Tech tips coverage of paxis 2014 is brought to you by Intel and Corsair

2
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:10,320
all right guys I'm here at distance which is the spiritual successor to

3
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:13,920
nitronic rush I've actually been following this game for a long time ever

4
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:18,560
since it was a school project back at pxx Prime so what can you tell me uh

5
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:23,599
what has your game become over that time so nitronic we released actually in back

6
00:00:21,080 --> 00:00:29,519
in 2011 um it was actually released on 1111 which was the same day as Skyrim uh

7
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:33,320
ironically and but yeah and since then we've actually uh graduated from digipen

8
00:00:31,759 --> 00:00:38,239
and we've we formed a company called refract Studios and since then we've

9
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:42,760
actually been working on distance and uh you know we actually did a Kickstarter

10
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:46,719
for it uh last last year in Octo or two years ago in October and that went over

11
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:50,879
really well and ever since we've been plugging away and primarily basically as

12
00:00:49,399 --> 00:00:55,039
a game it's a it's a what we're call a survival racing game and you actually

13
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:58,280
have a a bunch of abilities as a car like boost jump and fly and you're

14
00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:03,199
trying to navigate like treasurous obstacles around the tracks um and yeah

15
00:01:01,079 --> 00:01:06,760
so today's actually this practice is our first uh time we're ever really showing

16
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:10,159
it publicly and it's gone over really well so we're really happy with it uh

17
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:14,560
we're going to be releasing the beta hopefully pretty soon and then uh yeah

18
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:18,360
and we'll keep it going from there I'm actually really excited because as some

19
00:01:15,960 --> 00:01:21,320
of you guys know I used to be a huge fan of the really old NE for Speed games I

20
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:25,479
used to love them but I've never really been into that many racers in general

21
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:29,159
and ever since NE for Speed has gone completely in the trash in my opinion

22
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:31,479
sorry if you like it but in my opinion um I've been looking for another racer

23
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:36,320
and I've been really excited for this one cuz I have played it a few times now what can you tell me about the adventure

24
00:01:34,759 --> 00:01:39,320
mode which is a fairly new mode that you guys have introduced yeah so we're

25
00:01:38,079 --> 00:01:43,320
actually showing adventure mode for the first time here at pa um and basically

26
00:01:41,479 --> 00:01:46,520
what it is is kind of like a short story mode where you're like going through and

27
00:01:45,159 --> 00:01:52,040
you're learning how the the car Works you're learning the abilities you're kind of discovering the world and uh

28
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:55,719
hopefully you'll see kind of a a short story unfold as you're doing that I'm

29
00:01:54,079 --> 00:02:00,039
sure that could help because this isn't necessarily a traditional racer you can

30
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:03,439
like go parkour and get chopped in half but still be racing and flying and all

31
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:08,759
that kind of stuff so I'm sure something of that could help a new person into the game how can someone get this game or

32
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:12,400
get into the Beta so right now you can actually pre-order the beta at survive

33
00:02:10,319 --> 00:02:17,720
theed distance.com um we're going to be on Steam so we're we're releasing on

34
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:19,440
Windows Mac and Linux uh and you know

35
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:23,440
once the beta comes out then we'll we'll see uh we're looking into options of

36
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:28,440
potentially doing Like An Early Access uh you know or or just waiting till the
