Video: The Making of Raw Data (Episode 2)
In Part 1 of "The Making of Raw Data," we shared the story of Project Holodeck and Survios’ initial experimental projects that eventually crystallized into the vision for Raw Data. Now, we pick up with the artists, engineers, and designers as they evolve the rough–yet well-received!–elevator tech demo from VRLA Winter 2016 into the final expansive, immersive combat experience.

Welcome to Raw Data Launch Day!
Hey everyone!
James here. ːsteamhappyː I’m so excited to be here with you all on this awesome day for Raw Data fans, all of us here at Survios, and VR enthusiasts alike. I’m beyond stoked to say that Raw Data is officially out of Early Access and a final published game! (And it's even 25% off until October 17 for all of you new players.)

I’d like to personally welcome all the new Raw Data players descending into Eden for the first time. Whether you’re preparing to take down the megacorp threat in the co-op narrative campaign or shoring up for a Hostile Takeover PvP showdown, you will find a truly amazing group of players. They’ve been invaluable to us throughout the Early Access development process, and we’re thrilled to welcome you into their ranks. Be sure to join us here on Steam and on Discord to find co-op partners, share awesome PvP plays, and get tips and tricks.
What a crazy ride it’s been since we first revealed Raw Data—in its rough alpha state—back in January 2016 at VRLA. Six months later, Raw Data debuted in Early Access on Steam, and while we’d say the rest is history, we can’t just brush off those 16 months as insignificant. Throughout, our awesome player community grew and connected with each other and with us, providing the feedback and insights our development team needed to build the polished, immersive, active experience for which VR enthusiasts have been craving. The dev team has worked tirelessly pushing out regular content updates that refined mechanics and abilities, introduced new playable SyndiK8 heroes, added cross-platform co-op, expanded gameplay with PvP, and deepened the immersion with new campaign missions as well as layers of narrative content.
Now it’s time for players old and new to experience the definitive Raw Data experience. The final game features even more story elements throughout all the missions. I highly encourage even the most seasoned of Raw Data players to head back to “Hard Point” and start the journey afresh -- and keep an eye out for those glowing tablets placed throughout the levels! Just when you think you’ve played the most intense mission in “Soul Decrypt,” you’ll get pulled into the tenth and final mission, “Fatal Error,” which will have you questioning the very nature of reality itself.
If you want to dive even deeper, check out Eden Corp’s official site at www.EdenCorp.tokyo, where you’ll find such enlightening content as Eden’s very own Saturday morning cartoon E-Men!

And if you enjoyed that, be sure to read Issue #1 of the Raw Data comic series, “Promotion Material.” More issues will be coming very soon!
Finally, to celebrate Raw Data’s PC launch, everyone who owns Raw Data (whether you got it during Early Access or just picked it up today) will receive the free Pioneer Pack! Show that you were one of the first SyndiK8 heroes to cross the treacherous threshold of Eden Corp and bring their darkest secrets to light with these sleek Eden-inspired skins for all your heroes’ weapons:
Additionally, we’ve made Raw Data’s original soundtrack by Jeremy Nathan Tisser available! Inspired by iconic Hollywood sci-fi, these 20 tracks will transport you from the Robotics Lab to the Botanical Gardens with evocative arrangements featuring everything from a throat-singing choir to a heavy metal solo to the guttural “blaster beam” instrument made popular on Star Trek. You can pick it up right here in the Steam Store either on its own or in the deluxe edition of Raw Data.
From all of us here at Survios, thank you all for your continued support of Survios and Raw Data! We mean it when we say we wouldn’t be here without the ongoing passion and motivation that our amazing community has provided throughout Early Access and beyond. We sincerely hope you all enjoy Raw Data in its final form...we’ll see you in Eden.
Signing off,
James and the Survios dev team
