Distance (Nitronic Rush spiritual succesor) fully funded!

By - | Views: 11,405
Distance the futuristic arcade racing game that will come to Linux has been fully funded on Kickstarter!

Another category that Linux is missing out on is high quality racing games so this should help fill a void for some of you I'm sure!

Nice. I pledged to this one so I can't wait to try it out next year.

It was pretty astounding to watch the impact social networking and other coverage has had since we first posted a news article about it. Back then it looked like they weren't going to make it.

I think I'll open up a request on GOG to have them sell this game once it comes out. It looks marvellous, and I can't think of any other games for the PC, may they be on Linux, Windows, or Mac OS, that have split screen multiplayer. Brilliant.

Overgrowth has split screen multiplayer. Trine and Trine 2 have local coop (though the screen doesn't split). I'm pretty sure there are a bunch of others as well (though nothing that I use, as I have a LAN in my house :D )

I am waiting for Trine and Trine 2 to get their Linux versions on GOG before I buy them. In order for that to happen, Trine 2 should probably come out on GOG first. Didn't know those games had local cooperative play!

Why must they be on GOG? They are great games by great developers and I would really like to see you support them, but it is your call of course.

You'll need to wait for GOG to support Linux first (so far as I'm aware, that's not happening any time soon).

As another option, if you buy Trine from their official websites, you get DRM free versions (as well as Steam keys). There's a collectors edition of Trine 2 which comes with a digital art book and soundtrack (which I imagine would be the extras that GOG would have).

Also, it was fantastic to see Distance get so close to its second stretch goal ^_^

I enjoy having my collection of games in as few places as possible and as GOG truly represents what gaming on the PC should be like (no DRM, no regional pricing, and so on), I feel very much inclined to support them. I have enough games to play as is so I can definitely wait. GOG has just impressed me that much up till now. They will definitely be coming to Linux, the question is simply when.

They'll need to get past their silly cop-out reasons for not doing it. I buy stuff from them, but when I want native, I go with someone who's already made the commitment.
