It's going down... We're about to unveil our most ambitious physical creation yet. This weekend we're bringing every toy we have to PAX Prime in our home town of Seattle! The Distance PAX booth has been months in the making, and it features a massive lighting setup synced with our custom arcade cabinet. If we do our job right you won't be able to miss it! 

Where can I find Distance at PAX?

(our booth created inside a Distance level) Our primary booth will be at Indie MEGABOOTH #871 (4th floor). That's where tournaments, giveaways, the arcade cabinet, VR, and our insane concert lighting setup can be found. It's the main hub.
You can also find us The Parlor Live on Friday and Saturday as a part of "Giant Bomb: Live, In Person, and Fully Clothed!". Should be a more chill place to check out some of the Indie MEGABOOTH games and meet Giant Bomb folks. More info here. We'll also be a part of Intel's "Meet the Devs" experience at the Intel booth on the 4th floor all day Monday!

Distance VR, New Adventure Mode, Daily Tournaments!

At the booth you can choose to play new Adventure mode content on the arcade cabinet, split-screen multiplayer, or Distance VR! After seeing the ridiculous popularity of the VR at gamescom we'll be using a ticket system, so come to the booth early to claim a spot that day. We'll also be doing DAILY TOURNAMENTS where we'll be rewarding winners with a whole batch of new swag! Simply show up as early as possible (starting at 10am) to sign up for the tournament that day. We'll announce the tournament starting time every morning as well as the mode to be played.

SWAAAAAAAAAAAAG

Of course, we can't gloss over one of the most important details... What swag are we giving away?! Due to popular demand we printed up some more PAX-exclusive Distance shirts, brand new 18 x 24" posters, and glow in the dark pins! They'll be used as tournament rewards, as well as giveaway prizes to be announced on Twitter and Facebook.

Follow for giveaways this weekend!

Even if you're not at PAX we'll be doing flash giveaways and posting fun stuff from the booth on Twitter and Facebook! It's the best way to stay up to date with spontaneous happenings. Follow and use the #DistancePAX hashtag for your chance to win prizes from home and at PAX!

Finally... No care for PAX, what's going on with the build?

We also crunched to ship a new experimental build out last week with tons of bug fixes and random improvements to the physics. Jason really pushed hard to fix nearly every major reported issue. VR is nearly ready for an early release, but we still need to do some UI improvements to make getting into levels a bit smoother. We also improved the Adventure mode following gamescom so we'll use PAX to evaluate the build and (pending feedback on the physics) we'll roll all of the new stuff into the stable build ASAP afterwards. Anyways back to the PAX setup crunch for us. If you're attending we can’t wait to see you this weekend! - Jordan (with everyone at Refract)
