WEBVTT -- Englisch 00:00:44.798 --> 00:00:47.459 Hey I'm Michael from Space Dust Studios. 00:00:47.515 --> 00:00:53.600 We're a team of game developers from Melbourne Australia who have been working together over the last decade on a whole bunch of games, including 00:00:53.645 --> 00:01:01.749 Battlefield Hardline, Battlefield 4, Need For Speed Rivals, Dead Space 1 2 and 3, and many more. 00:01:01.750 --> 00:01:07.209 About a year ago, we went fully independent, and started work on our debut project. 00:01:07.284 --> 00:01:13.899 Space Dust Racers is a combat racing party game for PC, Xbox One and PS4. 00:01:14.204 --> 00:01:20.849 You'll race cartoon aliens on exotic planets, using weapon powerups and fast reflexes to knock out your opponents. 00:01:20.944 --> 00:01:24.659 It's a game you can play with family on the couch, or with friends in online multiplayer, 00:01:24.745 --> 00:01:28.561 and there's a really fun single player story mode to explore as well. 00:01:28.644 --> 00:01:34.069 It's a throwback to old-school party racers like Mashed, Micro Machines and Rock n' Roll Racing. 00:01:34.144 --> 00:01:38.719 There's no splitscreen in multiplayer, there's just one shared screen for all players. 00:01:38.765 --> 00:01:42.740 Anyone who falls behind or off-track is eliminated until the next round. 00:01:42.775 --> 00:01:47.430 You score points by taking out the competition, until someone scores enough points to win the match. 00:01:47.465 --> 00:01:53.308 It's a drop-in drop-out party game through and through, with dead-simple controls that anyone can pick up quickly, 00:01:53.355 --> 00:01:58.418 and it really plays more like Super Smash Brothers on wheels than it does Mario Kart or Crash Team Racing. 00:01:58.504 --> 00:02:03.120 But to be fair, all of these games are really big influences for us. 00:02:03.174 --> 00:02:08.560 This is a game about competition and replayability, so not only are there stacks of game modes to play, 00:02:08.625 --> 00:02:14.459 there's dozens of gameplay modifiers, and these can be bolted on top of the game modes to really mix things up. 00:02:14.514 --> 00:02:20.679 Whether you want to turn off a weapon, use defensive shields, add airstrikes for players that have been knocked out, 00:02:20.735 --> 00:02:25.159 maybe you want slippery handling or you want to force everyone to reverse backwards around the track, 00:02:25.161 --> 00:02:28.878 we're pretty sure we've got you covered and you're in full control of the gameplay, 00:02:28.974 --> 00:02:33.659 and we know you've got ideas about gameplay modifiers too and we really want to hear what those are. 00:02:33.745 --> 00:02:39.759 One of the coolest things about Space Dust Racers is that you can play it with 16 people in one room. 00:02:39.835 --> 00:02:45.968 You don't need 16 controllers though! Instead, you can use smartphones or laptops as extra controllers. 00:02:46.044 --> 00:02:53.429 This technology is already working in our demo with iOS and Android phones, and it uses some of the latest HTML5 goodies to achieve it. 00:02:53.485 --> 00:03:01.049 You can even plug in a USB on-the-go cable to your Android device and connect up a physical controller to that instead, if you prefer tactile feedback. 00:03:01.884 --> 00:03:08.300 We've been working really hard over the last 10 months to create a fully playable demo with many of the technical challenges solved already, 00:03:08.365 --> 00:03:14.719 and we've taken that demo to gaming shows locally and abroad, and we've gotten feedback from players of all different backgrounds and ages, 00:03:14.824 --> 00:03:20.460 everyone from kids through to adults. But now we need your help to produce the remaining content for the game. 00:03:20.564 --> 00:03:28.490 We've come to Kickstarter so we can remain independent, and get feedback from you - the gamers - to make the experience as good as it can possibly be. 00:03:28.525 --> 00:03:35.340 So please have a look at our team's experience, the quality of the art, the game design, where the project is at at the moment, 00:03:35.414 --> 00:03:41.838 ask us heaps of questions, and if you believe in the game as much as we do, please support us and back Space Dust Racers. 00:03:41.929 --> 00:03:48.563 Even if you can't afford to pledge, you can help us out heaps by sharing the Kickstarter on social media with your friends. 00:03:48.604 --> 00:03:53.679 Thank you very much for your support, and we look forward to making Space Dust Racers with your input.
