One Week Until v1.0! Re-Releasing Our First Alpha Build

Hey everyone! We're going all out over here preparing for the launch of v1.0. In just one week you'll be able to access all of the secret new content and features we've been developing this year!

BACK TO BASICS (BUILD 1760)

For fun we've decided to re-release the very first alpha build we uploaded to Steam on August 31st, 2013 (build 1760). You can play it by simply switching over to the new ancient Steam branch.

In your Steam library, right click on Distance and click on "Properties"
Click on the BETAS tab
Change the drop down to "ancient"
In this build you can see our earliest editor tools, early car physics, old level designs, and more. Back then only a select few had access to the level editor via the Founding Modders branch (Kickstarter tier), but now I'm enabling it for everyone.

One important note is that you'll probably want to make a back up of your personal Distance files before switching. To backup your personal progress:

Windows: "C:/Users//Documents/My Games/Distance"
OS X: "~/Library/Application Support/Refract/Distance"
Linux: "~/.config/refract/Distance"

We hope you enjoy this small nostalgia trip. Stay tuned for a couple more exciting announcements this week leading up to the launch!
