nobby and Sim discuss the latest Kickstarter Update. New Tiers, New Rewards, STUFF! - YouTube
DRM FREE!
That’s right you heard correctly! A downloadable DRM free version of the game! The DRM free version of the game won’t be available at the same time we launch the first release of the PC game through Steam – it will be introduced as soon as we can, afterwards. And obviously some of the stuff that comes with the Steam version won’t be supported… But you’ll be getting complete freedom to play Single Player and LAN multiplayer without the need to install Steam or be connected to the internets. We are adding it to the $15 level, so it’s the same price as the Steam download version. And if you pledge for the DRM free version, we’ll also send you the Steam code so you can still play immediately and take advantage of the Steam features, if you want.
New Rewards!
Pledge $15 OR MORE
DRM THIS!:As well as the Steam version, all $15 pledgers will be offered a DRM-free, caffeine free, gluten free, born free non-steam version of the PC game to download. This version will have no Steamworks functionality and will support single player and LAN multiplayer only. This is only currently offered for the PC platform and will not be available until completion. (Mac and Linux versions are planned, but still TBC.) Please note that the delivery date is an estimate and is subject to change.

· Easter eggs will be in the game
· Solid granite pedestrian power up
· Splatter decals on the car bodies
· There will be leaderbaords and achievements!
· There won’t be massive destructible environments simply because of the time and resources it would take up, there will of course be feature" geometry that can be trashed, lots of lamp-posts to use as pedestrian pool cues, and of course masses of GLASS!

Other

· Number of peds per level will vary depending on the environment, our prototype city level has 1500 for a nice level of density.
· Steam workshop is something we are looking into
