Capy Fine Racing GP is a new racer starring Capy and Double Fine characters to be released on 3.5” floppy discs at PAX East, Capy co-founder Nathan Vella has told us.

Studios Capy and Double Fine are sharing a booth at the event, and have teamed up to develop the racer. “Ken [Yeung] and Vic [Nguyen] made a game called Capy Fine Racing GP, which is a little jokey – but still rad fun – OutRun-style racer staring Capy and Double Fine characters,” Vella told us.

“The game will be released on the 3.5″ floppies that come inside the Capy and Double Fine limited edition boxed bundle, AKA the retail version of the Steam bundle that we just launched which includes both studios’ Steam games. We only made 200 boxes, and even then some of the floppies might not work, but the people who buy them will be allowed and encouraged to share the game.”

It is not intended to be a ‘serious’ game, added Vella. “It’s just something we did for pure fun and loving the idea of doing cool shit with our friends, in the spirit of the Capy Double Fine PAX combo. While it’s totally a real game, it’s also not at all a real game.”

So if you buy this at PAX, please copy that floppy.

Wait hold up, there's a DF+Capy bundle on Steam atm, are they teaming up or did they merge or soemthing?

Hope it gets a digital release as well...but I'd sure as hell wanna buy that floppy.

 

[HadesGigas]

They're sharing a booth at PAX East, and decided to sell a bundle of all their games at PAX and on Steam.

[BrokenEchelon]

Gosh, they're so unique and eclectic!

 

[Messofanego]

Wow. I need that.

 

[Betta Lines]

Dat S&S art. I must have this!

 

[PaulloDEC]

Amazing. Someone get the game, asap.

 

[Corto]

Shareware! hehehe Nice. Does NeoGAF have someone at Pax? Who is our agent there?

 

[-KRS-]

huh that's pretty cool. I wonder how many people still have floppy drives though. I still do in my older stationary computers but I imagine most people haven't even seen a floppy drive in years. Great throwback though! And the game actually looks fun for what it is.

Whenever I get a new computer, I always get a floppy drive in it. I suspect more from habit than from any actual need for one these days.

 

[mclem]

Reynold and not Wren? Precopy cancelled.

Can you even buy floppy drives anymore? And do modern motherboards and PSUs even support them? Or are there SATA floppy drives today? That would be something haha.

 

[RionaaM]

Do want. Sell that fucker on Steam and I'll buy it.

 

[Madao]

you could get a USB floppy drive. they do exist and are recognized as a USB storage device. my dad bought one because some stupid government institution required floppy disks for some documents and he didn't want to fail delivering them since it was mandatory.

 

[HadesGigas]

Reynold and not Wren? Precopy cancelled.

Maybe there's more characters than there are slots per race. They've got a whopping 1.44MB of space to work with, after all

 

[Cipherr]

do it.

oh... my god....

 

[swordsman720]

do it.

Recall the great time of Commodore Amiga

 

[big giant]

Gosh, they're so unique and eclectic!

Eclectic? Is that your first time using this word?

 

[Terra Firma]

I only play games greater than 1.44 MB.

 

[Messofanego]

He probably meant eccentric.

 

[patrickthehedgehog]

Any video footage of this floating around?

 

[dark_inferno]

Any news yet?

 

[HadesGigas]

I'd have to guess no one going to PAX brought a 3.5inch floppy drive in their suitcase. So it might be a while before someone copies that floppy.

 

[ShineALight]

Well there's a Steam activation code right on there, so I expect it'll show up sooner or later.

Steam activation is for the Double Fine Capy Bundle, I don't think it includes this game.

[Zia]

[Buttonbasher]

I want this so bad. Capy is the best. Double Fine is the best.

This must be the best.

 

[Rubius]

USB Floppy drive.

Pretty cheap too at 25$, might pick up one.

 

[Cheech]

8 1/2 or go home, poseurs.

 

[LiK]

fuck, wish i had gone to PAX East now.

 

[CheesecakeRecipe]

This is so fucking cool. I love Double Fine with all my heart, Capy is mostly great to me though I didn't really get all into Sword & Sworcery. I will gut check any one of you for one of these floppies.

Come at me

 

[FunkyPajamas]

Gosh, they're so unique and eclectic!
