WEBVTT -- English 00:00:05.868 --> 00:00:07.868 Hello. I'm David Wessman. 00:00:08.063 --> 00:00:13.682 I was the designer on X-Wing, Tie Fighter, X-Wing Versus Tie Fighter, X-Wing Alliance. The entire series. 00:00:14.375 --> 00:00:21.471 Ever since then, whenever I meet people at a Game Developers' Conference or just at a GameStop store and we start talking: 00:00:21.847 --> 00:00:27.551 “Oh you work on X-wing! you worked on Tie Fighter!? Oh my god I love those games, When are you going to make another one?” 00:00:28.278 --> 00:00:30.891 Well, that’s what this project is. We're going to make another one. 00:00:33.079 --> 00:00:35.079 This is the next great space shooter. 00:00:37.500 --> 00:00:39.500 This is the next X-Wing. 00:00:40.890 --> 00:00:49.329 We want to recapture that intense, immersive feeling of being in a cockpit, in a spacecraft, shooting things and blowing them up, real good. 00:00:50.941 --> 00:00:55.021 Our game is like World of Tanks meets Counter-Strike in Space. 00:00:56.149 --> 00:00:59.506 When I heard that Dave Wessman was attached to this project, I immediately jumped on. 00:01:00.087 --> 00:01:07.543 Being able to work with one of the creators of X-Wing, one of my favorite games ever, is just something I could never pass up. 00:01:07.903 --> 00:01:13.621 We decided to use hard science fiction as our core. This has a lot of ramifications across gameplay. 00:01:14.245 --> 00:01:22.430 This means heavy component damage, real Newtonian physics, and a rendering of space like we haven’t seen before. 00:01:23.700 --> 00:01:29.260 You could have somebody on your tail and you're accelerating to get away from them, then all of a sudden you rotate your ship. 00:01:29.513 --> 00:01:33.319 You're still speeding away from them, but now you got all of your guns pointing at the attacker. 00:01:33.950 --> 00:01:36.138 Might be a good idea for them to break off. 00:01:36.555 --> 00:01:41.820 To be working with the guys who made X-wing, with the guys who made Crysis, with the guys who made Battlefield 2, it’s unreal. 00:01:42.114 --> 00:01:44.971 This team is amazing and I'm so excited to be part of it. 00:01:45.191 --> 00:01:48.840 So I got my starting in the modding Community and what was great was we had complete creative control... 00:01:48.870 --> 00:01:51.519 ...the only people we had to answer to were the people playing the game. 00:01:52.132 --> 00:01:54.132 What’s great about crowdfunding is, it’s the same thing. 00:01:54.832 --> 00:01:58.849 We don’t have any publishers. We don’t have any investors. We’ll only have to answer to you guys, the players. 00:01:59.111 --> 00:02:01.600 What’s great is we know you guys. We are you guys. 00:02:01.691 --> 00:02:05.459 We're hardcore gamers and we're making a game we know we’re gonna love; we know you’re gonna love. 00:02:05.753 --> 00:02:13.198 For the first time we really get to reach out to the community and I’m not gonna have some producer or publisher tell me what to make. 00:02:13.224 --> 00:02:17.092 I'm going to have the people playing the game tell us what to make and that's what we really want to see. 00:02:20.010 --> 00:02:22.305 We can make this game. 00:02:23.591 --> 00:02:25.591 But we need your help.
