***Update 1 – 2015-06-09 – 16:49 CEST***

Just shortly after I (Jonas) published this article, 2Awesome Studios informed us that they have reached two of their first stretch goals on Kickstarter (Horde Mode and Boss Mode). So 2Awesome Studio´s now aiming for the 42,000 Euro goal. Which would bring “Dimension Drive” to the PS4! So there´s about 8,000 Euro missing at the moment. However, there´s still eight days left on “Dimension Drive´s” Kickstarter campaign. Which means that it´s not Gamer Over just yet.

Yep, “Dimension Drive” is coming to the PS4 as well.

Oh! There´s one more thing. I added one more question to our “Dimension Drive” interview (which you will find further down the page), a question which David Jimenez (2Awesome Studios) happily answered earlier today. So, check it out!

Press release:
We have reached our first 2 stretch goals (Boss Mode and Horde Mode) in our Kickstarter and we are now targeting the development of Dimension Drive for PlayStation 4:

2 Player Mode: Raising 36000€ local multiplayer will be added to the game. Co-op story mode for 2 players and a PVP.
PlayStation 4 version of Dimension Drive: At 42000€ we will port Dimension Drive to Sony PlayStation 4. The console and PC version will have feature parity.

Dimension Drive

Kickstarter

dimension drive jacks first concept


This is what Jack looked like at the very beginning of the development process.

Jonas TGG
People have made jokes about Jacky looking like Kill La Kill, what´s your thoughts on that?

David Jimenez 2Awesome Studios
That’s actually a funny coincidence. The design of Jack was a team effort. Sergi Cardo, our comic book artist, created several possibilities for her hair color (from green to blue passing by red and black). The final result was the middle ground solution as we couldn’t agree in the team between black or red hair. Thus, black and red was the final choice.

After we launched our Kickstarter campaign some people pointed out that the haircut reminded of Kill La Kill. I had never watch Kill La Kill so I checked to see what was all about. And it was true, the hair styles were really similar. Other than that they are extremely different characters as you know. We are happy with her design and we don’t have any plans on changing her hair color. In the end how many women do you see in real life with the exact same haircut?

Jonas TGG
How did you guys/girls handle the big setback on Kickstarter? (the troll incident).

David Jimenez 2Awesome Studios
It was hard. It could have been the end of Dimension Drive. The day after we didn’t know what to do, and we were mentally broken after an exhausting campaign ending with that incident to be honest. But then all those messages of support and encouragement started to arrive. People from all over the world asking us not to give up. We discussed with the team members and we decided to fight back. We really happy we took that decision. In the end thanks to the community we will be able to make this game.

jacks suit and color variations

Even Jack´s suit went through a lot of color (and shape) variations over time.

Jonas TGG
I saw that you get a comic book if you buy the physical version of the game. Are you going to make a long-time comic series of the game?

David Jimenez 2Awesome Studios
Well, it will depend on people’s acceptance. If we see potential on expanding the comic series, we will decide together with Sergi Cardo if we can put more effort on creating a long term comic series. We actually would love to expand Dimension Drive universe, so why not?

dimension drive explosions

There´s plenty of explosions and bullet hell moments in “Dimension Drive.”

Jonas TGG
Will players be able to play Co-op and multiplayer modes in “Dimension Drive”?

David Jimenez 2Awesome Studios
We hope so! At the moment of writing we are close to our third stretch goal. If we manage to secure that extra funding we will work to add co-op and PVP modes in Dimension Drive. We think it can be extremely fun to play with a friend both of you teleporting side to side and taking the fight together. In the end we have two battlefields so we may as well put two players.

Jonas TGG
Will there be competitive matches against other players and online achievements?

David Jimenez 2Awesome Studios
There will be online leaderboards and achievements and you will be able to compete against your friends there. Also if we manage to reach our third stretch goal we will add a local competitive 2 player mode.

Jacks hair styles concept

2Awesome Studios tried a lot of different haircolors for Jack, before they picked the black and red one.

Jonas TGG
I saw some pictures of the main character where she had different hair colors. Does that mean that there will be customization for the character, maybe even your ship?

David Jimenez 2Awesome Studios
No, those pictures of different hair colors where concept art when we were on the process of designing Jack as I mentioned before. The design of Jack is pretty much set in stone. For the ship we have added some surprises along the campaign and we are giving ship skins to our backers.

Jonas TGG
Who is her archenemy in the game? Who is she fighting exactly? And what is her goal?

David Jimenez 2Awesome Studios
Jack fights the Ashajuls, lead by Nies, their supreme commander. They are a race of aliens that have built their civilization and culture around war. Their only purpose and the only thing they know is fighting and enslaving (or annihilating) other races. The Ashajuls discovered the Dimension Drives and they are using them to continue this infinite war.

Once the completely control one universe and have enslaved all the races they jump to another dimension and start the same process. As there are infinite dimensions the Dimension Wars may last forever. Unless Jack can put a stop to this. We don’t want to spoil the story but the purpose of Jack is not only to defeat the Ashajuls. She’s also on a quest to uncover the mysteries of her past. She doesn’t really know where does she come from and why she has a ship, The Manticore, with a Dimension Drive. Along the game you’ll get to experience that.

dimension drive battle

You will get a whole shower of bullets and enemies (in all sorts of colors and shapes) coming your way in “Dimension Drive”.

Jonas TGG
Can you use a joystick or console controller for this game?

David Jimenez 2Awesome Studios
Yes, of course. The game is designed from the ground up to be played with keyboard and gamepad/joystick. Also some people asked us to be able to play with mouse, we’ll try to add this also to the control options of Dimension Drive.

Jonas TGG
Will Dimension Drive be released to IOS and Android?

David Jimenez 2Awesome Studios
We have no plans for a mobile version at the moment. The control scheme of Dimension Drive is really tailored to gamepad or keyboard and playing with a touch device will not be the same experience.

jacks final form

This is the final form of Jack, and i have to say that i love her looks =)

Jonas TGG
There were pictures of the main character (Jackey) posing some battle poses, so can we expect parts in the game where you can fight outside of the spaceship?

David Jimenez 2Awesome Studios
Those poses were concept art for the story parts of Dimension Drive. In Dimension Drive you will play inside the ship. Maybe for future games we could consider making a game where Jack fights outside The Manticore.

Jonas TGG
There is actually one more question that I would like to ask you. How did you come up with the name “Dimension Drive”? And were you tempted to name the game “Dimension Overdrive”?

David Jimenez 2Awesome Studios
We knew we wanted to include there something about the Dimension Wars and the teleporting across dimensions. And for the second part we wanted to talk about the mechanism, the engine that makes this possible. Dimension Engine sounded too generic, so we came up with Dimension Drive which also has the nice ring of being two words starting with “D”. In the team we short the game name many times to DD. Dimension Overdrive is an interesting name but it brings notions of something going to the extreme or malfunctioning. Maybe a good name for a power-up or a special ability, can we keep it?
