The kickstarter for this game called "Distance"
What is Distance?
Distance is a Windows/Mac/Linux survival racing game that combines the intense action of arcade racing with the exploration of an atmospheric world. You control a unique car that allows you to boost, jump, rotate, and even fly through a chaotic and twisted city. The world has a mysterious history, and as you explore you'll be able to uncover pieces of its past.
This game is basically a Tron-like next generation Rush game from the Rush series that was developed by Atari and Published by Midway Games. This particular game is based around Rush 2049 (My favourite classic game).
San Francisco Rush 2049 is a racing video game developed by Atari Games and published by Midway Games for the Arcade, Nintendo 64, Game Boy Color, and Dreamcast. It was released on September 7, 2000 in North America and November 17, 2000 in Europe. It is the third game in the Rush series, sequel to San Francisco Rush and Rush 2: Extreme Racing USA. The Dreamcast version was later re-released as part of Midway Arcade Treasures 3 for the PlayStation 2, Xbox, and Nintendo GameCube.
Back to Distance.
The roads are treacherous and unpredictable with obstacles around every corner. Instead of doing laps on a loop, you'll be trying to survive to the end in the quickest time. Since your car has several abilities, it allows you to not only drive fast on the track but also upside down and on buildings and walls! You can also fly to discover new shortcuts and paths.
You can take on the roads alone, or in multiplayer with your friends!
The game is a spiritual successor to the multi-award winning game Nitronic Rush, created by ourselves and 8 others while attending DigiPen Institute of Technology. It was released in 2011 on PC, and it was widely praised for its innovative mechanics, visual style, audio design, and atmosphere.
Nitronic Rush was a student project and in many ways only a prototype for what Distance will become. You can try it out for yourself (for free) by downloading it on the Nitronic Rush download page.
Since we've created a game similar to this before, we're building upon what players found fun in the previous game, and taking that to the next level.
Our focus is on making the solo and multiplayer tracks incredibly fun, which means that there's much that we're iterating on in terms of designing a deeper city and atmosphere, as well as creating entirely new game modes, obstacles, and track designs.
