Proun

By: Derek Yu

On: June 23rd, 2011

Joost van Dongen’s gorgeous abstract racing game Proun has been released today as pay-what-you want. Players are encouraged the try the full game for free if they’re unsure and pay for it later if they feel that it’s worth some dough (I definitely think so!). Proun features 4 tracks (plus one bonus track when you pay for the game), up to 4-player splitscreen multiplayer, 4 speeds, online leaderboards, and an option to race against your ghosts. Players can also create their own tracks in 3d Studio MAX and share them with others.

Some of the best visuals ever. The game is pretty fun too, and definitely worth grabbing.

Oh wow – didn't anticipate the track creation feature – that's pretty sweet!

A pity you can't make tracks with Blender. I doubt most players will have a $3,500 modelling program…

Same thing happened to me, from Joost's blog apparently “during the weekend, 1.2 million HTTP requests were performed towards the Proun website.” Old web host pulled the site, so he put up a temporary site here: http://www2.hku.nl/~joost1/Pro…

Thanks, but seems that the Buy page is not working on the temp site right now, anyway :/

Thankfully there's a link on the site to a torrent download.

Just posted a question about it in the official forum and the author is working with the e-commerce site to fix it. Great!

Wow this is a cool little thing! I honestly hope they do something more interesting with this idea, make some more interesting race tracks or something, but face-value this is great.

How come such a simple game needs a powerful PC? The game crashes when i try to load levels. =T

Well the first half of the video was all about the price, with no mention of the actual game, so I'll just ignore everything about it for now.
