WE ARE GREENLIT! Congratulations!
Creator Filipe Romancini on February 14
Nice work guys, its look awesome! Jordan, you seemed a bit hesitant to show some of your work at the end of the february update clip. I just wanted to say it sounds AWESOME. Just listening to that made me want to play this game so bad! Nice work! I can't wait to get my hands on this. Keep up the awesomeness! Cheers!

I'm sure this game will do well ;)
Creator Jalister-Eternal Champion of WoOS & OOoE on January 15
It looks like Distance didn't make the Greenlight cut this time. :(
Looking back at all the games that have been accepted, I'm surprised this wasn't one of them. Hopefully the next run will get it done. Several Kickstarter games were in this most recent batch.
Creator Darren Myers on January 2
You guys were features on PCgames anticipated games of 2013,congrats! http://www.pcgamer.com/2013/01/01/2013-preview/8/

Any plans soon on replacing that awkward imperial system (MPH) with the more logical metric system (KPH)?
Creator Caleb Klomparens on November 29
Man. Did you guys see that sliced car business in update 18? THAT is hardcore! Today is November 29, 2012, which means it's nearly December. And so the countdown begins:
Pre-Alpha: 5 months delivery time
September 16th [oooooooo ] May 1st

September 16th [oooooooo ] August 1st
Full release: ? months delivery time
September 16th [oooooooo ] ------- ----
Creator Andre Gerstmann on November 21, 2012
With Road Rebel another racing action arcade game comes to kickstarter.. Really happy that you have reached the goal to 165000. Now a happy developing time and hope you bring us a Video Update every month about the game status...
Creator S.D. on November 20, 2012
See, folks?
Refract are responsive, and flexible. *This* is why we support independant developers... they own their destiny, and can make choices like that based on data and based on funds in a way that They made the funds they needed, and promised some sweet procedural generation! That, in my opinion, is the one of the two best ways a racing game gains a high level of replayability. The other way is a set of mod tools which allow for a track-building community to form up around the game. With the final stretch goal now a launch-day feature, we now have the two best ways to keep the community healthy and interested for years to come. Who's excited? I'm excited!
Creator Henrik Sæderup on November 20, 2012
I have a question, which may be a stupid one, but I can't seem to figure it out:
I pledged 130$ and chose the 100$ tier (plus 25$ to get it delivered to Denmark (which leads me to a second question: Will I have to pay import taxes for the poster and t-shirt?) and upped my pledge 5$ to get the stretch 2# goal)
But yeah, to my first question: Do I get two (2) Alpha versions and up to the final release, OR do I get one (1) Alpha and up and one (1) final release?
Creator Shawn McCuistion on November 19, 2012
So... does that mean it qualifies as meeting the stretch goal?
Creator Refract Studios on November 19, 2012
Thanks to everyone for the awesome finish to our Kickstarter! Including the Paypal backers over the weekend we surpassed the 165k mark! We will post an update very soon to give you more information.
@zetaPRIME: Sounds interesting, I'll make sure to add mouse as an optional input device.
@Mercian Media: We have considered it, but platform requirements vary enough from PC/Mac/Linux that we won't have the resources to focus on it right now.

Creator Ben Steel on November 18, 2012
Congratulations on successful funding! I'm looking forward to playing the game when it hits and I wish you all the best success with it! Hopefully you get greenlit on Steam and your sales numbers far eclipse the 160k raised to fund development, so that we can see more from Refract in the future! I wish I was still living in WA - I'd totally apply for a job w/you guys ;)
Creator Steve Godrich on November 17, 2012
Fantastic! Congratulations and I'm looking forward to the next few months :D
Creator Caleb Klomparens on November 17, 2012
Congratulations! What a month! I pretty much checked this site every day and probably still will for updates!
Creator Sami Mannila on November 17, 2012
Don't forget people about the bonus stretch goal, getting the game Greenlighted on Steam :).. this way -> http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/…
Creator Grant on November 17, 2012
@Dahel Definitely. I really hope they add a multiplayer gametype where it randomly generates a new track after every race, unless the players vote for a rematch, in which case it'll replay the current map up to a certain number of times.
Creator Asa Borquist on November 17, 2012
@RedRum We got to just over $164,000. What Jason said was that the stretch goal only guaranteed that they were going to develop those particular features. In the live stream they talk about it right at the end and basically the features mentioned in the second stretch goal will most likely make it into the game.
Creator RedRum on November 17, 2012
Congrats. Another Kickstarter success! Did they say if they made $165K?
Creator Johannesschnur on November 17, 2012
3 days ago, i didn't believe we could still make it (have been watching the kicktraq forecasts). I guess this 10.000 $ backer (some days ago) gave the neccessary boost. If you're the one: Thank you :)
Creator Raph on November 17, 2012
@Dahel: They said they want to make it anyway, just not guaranteed. 164k annoyed the hell out of me, so f****** close!
Creator Dahel on November 17, 2012
We need this random race generation feature, it would just make a game mode only based on quick decison and rexeles instead of track practice and memorization, quite fun for a racing game.
Creator Christian Brito on November 17, 2012
Great job guys and thanks for answering and acknowledging so many of my comments on the live stream. Good luck, the future of Refract Studios is looking very promising.
Creator Kenneth on November 17, 2012
Together with the amount pledged on paypal they must be really close to $165.000. I hope we will get the procedural levels.
Creator Aviad on November 17, 2012
Congratulation on a successfully funded campaign guys! the game looks and I cant wait to get my hands on the early builds!
Creator Mrmotinjo on November 17, 2012
I am SO glad you guys made it over the $150K mark :D
Eagerly awaiting further progress and info!
Good luck and all the best!
Creator Jon Dagata on November 17, 2012
Can we please get the $165,000: Random Track Generation Mode :(
Creator Melhelix on November 17, 2012
@Wolfeknight Man, glad I wasn't the only one. No idea what Amazon was doing, felt like it was eating all my card data. Finally got it straightened out.
Creator Colonel Skills on November 17, 2012
What was the final total after paypal? Enough to hit 165?
Creator wolfeknight on November 16, 2012
I was scared for a second, my credit card refused payment, I spent half a hour to sort it out, finally got you guys your moneys. Good luck with the project and I hope to see great things from you.
Creator Chizu on November 16, 2012
Oh, also, Congrats guys :D
Creator Chizu on November 16, 2012
they can still take paypal "pledges" though, can't they?
So maybe we can hit the random track generator goal post-kickstarter?
Creator Cheesenium, Cheese Exiled in Torment on November 16, 2012
Congratulation for getting the game funded. Please add the randomised tracks if possible. I do look for this feature.
Creator Drake Sirlit on November 16, 2012
Awesome. Congrats Refract on getting the game funded. :D
Creator Matthew Webb on November 16, 2012
Congratulations everyone! The livestream was great fun. See you in beta!
Creator hakoten on November 16, 2012
I really hope they add the random tracks. It would add for so much replay-ability and thus more people wanting to buy the game and support other projects!
Creator Wesley Fenley on November 16, 2012
HUZZAH on being funded!!! :D
Creator S.D. on November 16, 2012
On the livestream they said they want to do it (and probably will?) but won't promise it because it didn't hit the budget. So, there is a strong chance now, for what it's worth.
Creator Carlos - "Koey" on November 16, 2012
Congrats on being funded.
