WEBVTT -- English 00:00:45.479 --> 00:00:47.560 Hi there, I'm Michael from Rockfish games. 00:00:47.561 --> 00:00:51.000 We are a fairly new studio and you may not have heard of us before. 00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:53.979 But there's a pretty good chance that you've played one of our previous games 00:00:53.981 --> 00:00:57.780 as we are the team behind the space shooter series Galaxy on Fire. 00:00:57.781 --> 00:01:01.600 It got 30 million installs on mobile devices with critical acclaim from players 00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:03.600 all around the globe. 00:01:03.601 --> 00:01:07.203 Now we want to take this experience to the PC with even better graphics and 00:01:07.203 --> 00:01:10.932 combine that with a modern rogue-like gameplay and a captivating story. 00:01:10.933 --> 00:01:12.933 This game will be EVERSPACE. 00:01:36.376 --> 00:01:38.376 We've been playing a lot of modern rogue-like titles in the last few years 00:01:38.378 --> 00:01:41.716 and they’ve become a big inspiration to us. 00:01:41.718 --> 00:01:44.546 What's so great about the genre is that every time you play, you'll get 00:01:44.548 --> 00:01:48.387 something fresh, something new. You can't predict what's going to happen next, 00:01:48.388 --> 00:01:51.387 even if you've been playing for hours and hours. 00:01:51.388 --> 00:01:53.587 You have to improvise and make careful decisions 00:01:53.587 --> 00:01:57.746 whenever you get into situations where the odds are stacked against you. 00:01:57.748 --> 00:02:00.927 And you only get better at this by gradually developing a greater understanding 00:02:00.927 --> 00:02:06.186 of the game world and the mechanics behind it. 00:02:06.188 --> 00:02:10.224 Imagine you're entering this beautiful looking orbit you’ve never seen before. 00:02:10.225 --> 00:02:13.044 Everything seems to be quiet, so you take your time and look around 00:02:13.045 --> 00:02:16.764 for resources that you need for crafting new weapons, or devices or to fill up 00:02:16.765 --> 00:02:20.905 your hyper drive so you can jump to the next sector, when all of a sudden 00:02:20.906 --> 00:02:23.085 you're being attacked by hostile ships. 00:02:23.086 --> 00:02:25.962 You quickly have to decide if it's smart to take them on or to flee. 00:02:25.963 --> 00:02:29.022 They might have valuable loot on board but your ship is heavily damaged, 00:02:29.024 --> 00:02:31.024 you should have done some repairs earlier, 00:02:31.025 --> 00:02:33.582 but you spent your resources elsewhere. 00:02:33.584 --> 00:02:36.022 You remember these kinds of ships from a previous run. 00:02:36.024 --> 00:02:38.383 You barely survived that encounter when you found out that your beam laser 00:02:38.383 --> 00:02:43.342 worked best on them. Unfortunately, you don't have one installed now, 00:02:43.343 --> 00:02:46.883 so you make the decision to flee. You browse through your inventory 00:02:46.883 --> 00:02:48.883 and decide it’s better to be safe than sorry and 00:02:48.884 --> 00:02:51.483 deploy some valuable sentry drones that will buy you some time 00:02:51.484 --> 00:02:53.949 as you make an exit. 00:02:57.683 --> 00:03:00.856 Typically rogue-games are not known for having a rich story. 00:03:00.858 --> 00:03:05.097 Usually it's just enough to put players in a plausible setting and that's it. 00:03:05.098 --> 00:03:08.637 In everspace we want to provide a deeper narrative experience… 00:03:08.638 --> 00:03:12.477 and at the same time make sure that it keeps rogue-like qualities. 00:03:12.478 --> 00:03:16.176 We'll combine the best of both worlds in a special way. 00:03:16.177 --> 00:03:19.317 No major story event is repeated, even though players have to start over 00:03:19.318 --> 00:03:21.637 many times in order to finish the game. 00:03:21.638 --> 00:03:23.770 This makes each run different and meaningfull 00:03:27.497 --> 00:03:29.676 The graphics in Everspace play the most important role in combining 00:03:29.677 --> 00:03:32.076 roguelike elements with a modern presentation. 00:03:32.078 --> 00:03:35.697 In reality space is a dark and bleak environment so we decided to develop a 00:03:35.698 --> 00:03:38.796 distinct art style that delivers a more romantic impression. 00:03:38.798 --> 00:03:42.317 It also allows us to get the most out of Unreal Engine 4. 00:03:42.318 --> 00:03:47.257 We want you to experience space as something beautiful and worth exploring. 00:04:06.686 --> 00:04:08.686 Let’s say you've reached sector 8. And you're really excited, because 00:04:08.687 --> 00:04:12.985 you never made it this far! But, eventually, you will meet your demise there. 00:04:12.986 --> 00:04:16.146 But here’s the cool thing - you won‘t be frustrated about this, because 00:04:16.146 --> 00:04:19.466 you will be able to spend the credits you collected in this run to improve your 00:04:19.466 --> 00:04:22.985 starting conditions for all the following runs by investing them in ship upgrades 00:04:22.987 --> 00:04:26.565 and perks that will for example increase the number of weapons you can carry 00:04:26.567 --> 00:04:30.446 or your shield capacity or upgrade some other ship component. 00:04:30.447 --> 00:04:33.266 So you will always want to go for that extra run and keep on upgrading 00:04:33.266 --> 00:04:36.182 and upgrading until you've reached the end of the game. 00:04:37.766 --> 00:04:41.310 We are very excited about EVERSPACE. It is just the game we’d like 00:04:41.310 --> 00:04:44.490 to play ourselves and we hope you are equally thrilled. 00:04:44.492 --> 00:04:47.012 During Steam Greenlight we got tons of feedback from you 00:04:47.012 --> 00:04:49.211 which is absolutely fantastic. 00:04:49.213 --> 00:04:52.432 To address your hopes and dreams we created a number of stretch goals 00:04:52.432 --> 00:04:54.653 which we have prepared for you in our campaign below. 00:04:54.653 --> 00:04:58.254 So we are listening closely to what you want in a game like EVERSPACE. 00:04:58.254 --> 00:05:01.353 Now it is up to you to help us make the magic happen. 00:05:01.353 --> 00:05:03.353 We really hope you like what you saw… 00:05:03.355 --> 00:05:05.540 Thanks for watching and take care.
