Whoa, the graphics are stunning, and it looks very dynamic. Will it be freeware?

That's gorgeous. I'm wondering how you do the rainbow effects at the end.

The other vessels on the track are the dots and streaks in front of you, right?

What are the dictionary definitions at the start for? For me at least, they create a dry and pedantic feel, that doesn't seem to be connected to the rest of the video.

The other vessels are the the dots with the streaks of light.

The definition summarizes thesis driving the design of the game; it's a little abstract in the context of the video. If you have learned any Greek philosophy it might make you think about it in a different way.  The end text is designed to have the same effect, but not Greek philosophy.

It's just a teaser trailer which is supposed to get you interested in it and maybe think about what the game might be.  Hopefully it does that!

I built something to play Dyad on.  I'm calling it "THE MACHINE"

It'll be at PAX East, check it out here: http://www.dyadgame.com/TheMachine/

It's big: 10' x 4' x 6' it's heavy: 750lbs, and it's loaded with ridiculousness in the best possible way.

Wow, that machine looks pretty crazy! I'd love to have a go on that! Also, the game looks pretty exciting from the video. When will it be available?

huh. Wow. Thats really pretty. It looks, and feels a lot like tempest as well, which is in no way a bad thing, and I also kinda like the idea of latching onto other stuff to get faster...

Will there be multiplayer of any sort? I could envision some fun multiplayer sessions of people constantly grabbing each other to try and speed up.

It looks cool, but it's hard to tell how the gameplay works, so I can't make a judgement about how fun it looks.
