What is Distance?
It's...well, this:
Why should I vote for it on steam green light?
If you're not a fan of racing, then you may not be interested. But the thing is, while I'm not a fan of racing, I -loved- Nitronic rush!
Nitronic what-now?
A fast paced arcade racer, like the one you see above and made by the same people who are bringing Distance. The difference? NR was a -free- game released as a student project. Distance will be a more complete game with multiplayer and improved graphics, although if you ask me I'd have gladly paid for Nitronic Rush. Even after I beat the story there are tonnes of hardcore and challenge levels to complete, THEN the community made maps.
What does the gameplay entail? Pretty much the same sort of stuff in the above video, not just racing on a plain track but you're doing flips, defying gravity, wall running, flying and so on. It's not uncommon in the later levels of NR to be constantly jumping wall to wall, I always lose track of where 'down' is in the process.
Sounds interesting, but I'm still not sure it's for me....
Go ahead and try Nitronic Rush, it's free and relatively small. http://nitronic-rush.com/download-game/ (Requires a torrent client, but the download is usually quick as more peers are found)
The game recommends a gamepad but a keyboard is fine as well! If you enjoy the game, then I'm sure Distance will be enjoyable for you. Just be sure to get the latest version, else you'll be missing chunks of content.
I enjoyed Nitronic Rush/This game looks great, where is it on steam greenlight?

It needs to be in the top ten pretty soon though in order to be greenlit! Else many people will simply not be aware of what, in my opinion, seems to be a great quality game over the other games that get greenlit. Such as games that get a truckload of votes because it's based on someones youtube channel or it has a ton of hype around it. And to be quite blunt I'd rather see games like this getting by than what look like facebook or app games and "indie" games in 8-bit style with a cheap gimmick.
You seem to be advertising a bit strongly here...
Fair point, but honestly I think this is a great game (in terms of potential providing there are no game breaking bugs or issues and it's as surprisingly polished as Nitronic Rush) that just lacks any kind of decent marketing owing to the lack of a major youtube channel backing it up or even advertising outside Greenlight and its own website. And I don't see what's wrong with showing people a great game, it's no different than someone else making a thread on their favourite series of games that they believe are obscure and need more attention etc.
