Time Rifters Greenlit! And Let's Re-Play?

Really excited to announce that Time Rifters was Greenlit today, thanks for all the support!

Let's Re-Play?

We have recently come up with the idea of turning a Let's Play into in-game asynchronous multi-player, giving you the ability to play the game with replays of other people (friends, YouTubers, podcasters, etc). We have just started exploring this idea, but based on our current vision it would work like this:

Recording Let's Plays:

• JesseCox (for example) would walk to the 'Record Let's Play' area on the title screen
• He would choose Episode 1
• He would play through the entire episode only using the first 2 time clones, his voice would be recorded.
• After his play through, he could choose to upload it to the Steam Workshop/Marketplace and either give away or sell his Let's Play (so he could give away episode 1 for free and then charge for episode 2 & 3). All the profits from let's play sales would go to the recorder.

Playback Let's Plays:

• You walk into the 'Let's Play' area on the title screen, look through a list of available Let's Plays and choose 'JesseCox Fan Friday - Episode 1'
• You now start playing as the 3rd player, the 1st player controlled and voiced by JesseCox starts walking around and talking (positional voice audio of course). The 2nd and 4th time clones are idle.
• At the end of the first round, you start controlling the 4th clone, the 3rd clone is the replay you just did, the 2nd clone is now active as JesseCox (with voice), the 1st clone is also JesseCox (without voice).
• After you finish the episode, it shows how well you did together (percent complete).

Hopefully we explained it well, we've just been exploring this concept over the past few days. What do you think?

TrackIR & Greenlight Update

All of the pieces of our TrackIR finally arrived and we have been able to test it in Time Rifters. We plan on posting a video with our experience so look for that in the near future.

Greenlight is still going great, we have received close to 16,000 yes votes and are sitting at #7.

It is great to see all the Time Rifters play through videos that are being uploaded to YouTube including videos by JSmithOTI, TheSocomMr, The Indie Game Promoter, JaR Dev and MrJTDekker.

Lastly, here are a couple more places you can read up on Time Rifters:

#4 on Greenlight & SteamOS News

Time Rifters is now ranked #4 on Greenlight with almost 13,000 Yes votes!

SteamOS is now installed and Time Rifters is up and running on our homemade Steam Box. We just released a new Linux build (0.5.1) which fixed a gamepad compatibility problem.

#60 on Greenlight!

The Time Rifters Greenlight campaign is going great, we are currently 60 out of 1,499 games!

We have also received a lot of great mentions lately. We had a great time chatting about Time Rifters, game development and VR with Reverend Kyle on his RevVR Podcast.

Time Rifters was voted #6 in Cymatic Bruce's Top 20 Oculus Rift VR Experiences of 2013.

Lastly thanks for all the great game play videos on YouTube, we've been enjoying watching them all.

Farewell 2013, Hello 2014!

Hard to believe that in just a few hours we will be starting 2014. 2013 has been a great for us, especially with the exciting launch of our Steam Greenlight campaign.

We have been on Greenlight for a week and so far the campaign is going really well. The gif below shows you the progress of the cumulative Yes votes Time Rifters has received over the past week, and as you can see we have been tracking along the top games on Greenlight.

Thank you to everyone for your support so far. The latest screenshot of our campaign shows we have received over 6,700 yes votes which puts us 77% of the way into the top 100 on Greenlight. The next 5,000 votes are going to be the hardest to get, but we are really looking forward to being able to post that we have broken through the top 50.

Happy New Year eveyone, see you in 2014!
