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

00:00:05.680 --> 00:00:10.320
all right guys I'm here at distance which is the spiritual successor to

00:00:08.840 --> 00:00:13.920
nitronic rush I've actually been following this game for a long time ever

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

00:00:16.320 --> 00:00:23.599
what has your game become over that time so nitronic we released actually in back

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

00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:33.320
ironically and but yeah and since then we've actually uh graduated from digipen

00:00:31.759 --> 00:00:38.239
and we've we formed a company called refract Studios and since then we've

00:00:35.800 --> 00:00:42.760
actually been working on distance and uh you know we actually did a Kickstarter

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

00:00:44.920 --> 00:00:50.879
really well and ever since we've been plugging away and primarily basically as

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

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

00:00:56.920 --> 00:01:03.199
trying to navigate like treasurous obstacles around the tracks um and yeah

00:01:01.079 --> 00:01:06.760
so today's actually this practice is our first uh time we're ever really showing

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

00:01:08.520 --> 00:01:14.560
we're going to be releasing the beta hopefully pretty soon and then uh yeah

00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:18.360
and we'll keep it going from there I'm actually really excited because as some

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

00:01:20.040 --> 00:01:25.479
used to love them but I've never really been into that many racers in general

00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:29.159
and ever since NE for Speed has gone completely in the trash in my opinion

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

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

00:01:34.759 --> 00:01:39.320
mode which is a fairly new mode that you guys have introduced yeah so we're

00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:43.320
actually showing adventure mode for the first time here at pa um and basically

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

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

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

00:01:54.079 --> 00:02:00.039
sure that could help because this isn't necessarily a traditional racer you can

00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:03.439
like go parkour and get chopped in half but still be racing and flying and all

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

00:02:06.600 --> 00:02:12.400
get into the Beta so right now you can actually pre-order the beta at survive

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

00:02:14.160 --> 00:02:19.440
Windows Mac and Linux uh and you know

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

00:02:21.440 --> 00:02:28.440
potentially doing Like An Early Access uh you know or or just waiting till the

00:02:25.640 --> 00:02:31.280
final game's done so yeah awesome thanks a lot if you want to see all the rest of
