lonus Tech tips coverage of paxis 2014 is brought to you by Intel and Corsair
all right guys I'm here at distance which is the spiritual successor to
nitronic rush I've actually been following this game for a long time ever
since it was a school project back at pxx Prime so what can you tell me uh
what has your game become over that time so nitronic we released actually in back
in 2011 um it was actually released on 1111 which was the same day as Skyrim uh
ironically and but yeah and since then we've actually uh graduated from digipen
and we've we formed a company called refract Studios and since then we've
actually been working on distance and uh you know we actually did a Kickstarter
for it uh last last year in Octo or two years ago in October and that went over
really well and ever since we've been plugging away and primarily basically as
a game it's a it's a what we're call a survival racing game and you actually
have a a bunch of abilities as a car like boost jump and fly and you're
trying to navigate like treasurous obstacles around the tracks um and yeah
so today's actually this practice is our first uh time we're ever really showing
it publicly and it's gone over really well so we're really happy with it uh
we're going to be releasing the beta hopefully pretty soon and then uh yeah
and we'll keep it going from there I'm actually really excited because as some
of you guys know I used to be a huge fan of the really old NE for Speed games I
used to love them but I've never really been into that many racers in general
and ever since NE for Speed has gone completely in the trash in my opinion
sorry if you like it but in my opinion um I've been looking for another racer
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
mode which is a fairly new mode that you guys have introduced yeah so we're
actually showing adventure mode for the first time here at pa um and basically
what it is is kind of like a short story mode where you're like going through and
you're learning how the the car Works you're learning the abilities you're kind of discovering the world and uh
hopefully you'll see kind of a a short story unfold as you're doing that I'm
sure that could help because this isn't necessarily a traditional racer you can
like go parkour and get chopped in half but still be racing and flying and all
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
get into the Beta so right now you can actually pre-order the beta at survive
theed distance.com um we're going to be on Steam so we're we're releasing on
Windows Mac and Linux uh and you know
once the beta comes out then we'll we'll see uh we're looking into options of
potentially doing Like An Early Access uh you know or or just waiting till the
final game's done so yeah awesome thanks a lot if you want to see all the rest of
