Project Update #110/17/12Hi everyone! First off,Wow, you guys are awesome!!!Thanks for going out there and being the first to back Distance! It means the world to us and from the bottom of our hearts, thank you!We're off to a great start so far, raising around $15,000 on the first day and picking up backers quickly! Yesterday was a ton of fun for us watching as everyone continued to pour in support. We didn't get much sleep the night before because we were wrapping up things for the launch. It was a pretty long day, but well worth it. It's unreal how positive the reaction has been and how much excitement is surrounding the game already.#SURVIVETHEDISTANCEThis is only the beginning and there's still a long ways to go. We're doing our best to spread the word about everything, but we need your help. We took the time to prepare a page that you can check out here to help spread the word about Distance. It includes Distance avatars for twitter and/or any forums you may use, as well as Facebook profile pictures and cover photos!Let's get Greenlit!A lot of you have requested it, so we're excited to say that Distance is now on Steam Greenlight! You can check it out and upvote it here. Currently we're using the Kickstarter video on that page but we'll be updating it to a gameplay video as soon as we finish making one :)Cheers and thanks so much!Kyle (and the Refract team)
Project Update #210/20/1222% to Being FundedJust wanted to thank all of you again, and let you know that Distance is 22% of the way to being funded! Your tweets, Facebook posts, and comments have all been continually encouraging.We've noticed a lot of comments saying that we should easily make our goal, but we'll still need your help to get there. Even though our first couple of days were pretty successful, we're starting to slow down a bit. Historically, word of mouth is one of the biggest ways Kickstarters spread, so if you know anyone who can support the project please tell them about it! You can post about it on any of your favorite social media sites, any forums you browse, or create a YouTube video showing your excitement.If you do post something, make sure to send it to us! Another really simple way to help is to visit our...Reddit AMA!By popular request, we'll be doing a Reddit AMA (Q&A) tomorrow (10/21) at 5:00pm PST. Many of our original fans came from Reddit, so we've always loved that community and want to give back there. If you have any more questions or if you know anyone who was a fan of Nitronic Rush and has questions, feel free to check out our AMA and ask then.You can help us by simply upvoting the post when it goes live tomorrow: http://reddit.survivethedistance.comSo, How'd The Week Go?It was a pretty busy week but we're having fun.

Project Update #410/24/12Progress so farIt's finally time for a backer-only update! Thanks again for believing in us to make this game, and we're incredibly excited to have you along for the ride. We've eclipsed the 1,000 backer mark, currently sitting at 1,059 backers (27% of the goal) and #76 (out of 865) on Steam Greenlight. While we don't know much about how Greenlight actually works underneath, here's the data they do give us:WallpapersSince you were one of our first backers, I put together some PC/Mac/iPhone/iPad wallpapers created from our poster image!PC/Mac Wallpapers:1280x9601280x10241440x9001600x12001680x10501920x10801920x1200iPad Backgrounds:1024x768 (non-retina)2048x1536 (retina)iPhone Backgrounds:320x480 (non-retina)640x960 (retina)Music early previews/downloadsYou also can listen to the music from the Kickstarter video/teaser trailer on SoundCloud, as well as on MP3 (320kbps) and FLAC below. It's still an early version for what might make it into the game, so I'd love to hear your feedback on it. You can also check out music I've done for Nitronic Rush and The Fourth Wall while on SoundCloud.Top secret SoundCloud linkKickstarter trailer music (right-click and "save as":( MP3 | FLACI've also been working on a spin off of that track which we're thinking of using for the upcoming gameplay trailer. It's still very much a work in progress, but I'd love to hear your opinions on it. I basically wanted something more upbeat since I felt the previous track was fairly laid back. This one fuses some of the feelings from the Commander Update track a ways back, but has a bunch of new sounds borrowed from my newer tracks (like the one above).

We set it up so that Kyle and Jason were answering questions via Google Docs while I was frantically pasting them into the response window and trying to answer a few of my own. If we do something like it again down the road, we'll make sure to post it here first.We also had some decent press coverage since the last update. We've still been pushing really hard to get the word out, and we've done some really cool interviews that should (hopefully) be coming out this week. Here's the latest round-up:Destructoid: http://bit.ly/XVODY2Shacknews: http://bit.ly/QOHoMk (interview)TIGSource: http://bit.ly/RWDe5XBebopVox: http://bit.ly/XVOzasThe TIGSource post exists because one of our backers (Shinji16) made a post in the TIGSource forums and it got promoted to the front page. All of your posts, shares, likes, and retweets really do help, so keep them up!A big focus for us right now is wrapping up an improved gameplay video that shows more of the game (and helps us share the game with press). We're also working on finishing up the Distance forum for everyone to more easily share their thoughts on the game. Those should both be available in the next update.Also, thanks to many of you who bumped up your pledges recently! Every little bit helps, so upping your pledge obviously makes a big difference.
