Astronoid : online spaceships racing from canyons to space at 2000 km/h

Hello, excuse me if my english isn’t perfect.

I discovered this game 8 weeks ago and am really addicted to it. It’s so fun to race online with other peoples. I would like to race with more people, that’s why I came here to recommend it. We aren’t so much players yet because the game has just been released for the first time. The developpers haven’t got any money (nor time) to promote it. That’s why, we, players, decided to help.
It would be very kind of you if you could speak about this game around you, that would be very kind to support an independant game.

I’ll try to sum up the idea to you :
Astronoid delivers a multiplayer, high-speed galactic shoot-and-race PC game playable on the Internet. Racing (or shooting) other players online in a space ship with quick and fluid mouse-controlled steering and a 3-D front-seat vantage point, the game begins as simple, arcade-like fun and soon unveils a depth as impressive as the top simulation games.

It’s very innovative because it uses P2P which allows 5000 players to be online at the same time, adding everybody’s CPU and bandwitdh creating a sort of “huge computer”, no more problem of “host” for the game.

Before coming to race with us, have a look at a video, these aren’t official trailers, you will find the official one on the website. These are only classical races, the killkill mode is more impressive !

Official trailer : http://download2.astronoid.net/video...id-ingame1.avi (130mb)

Players videos :

Astronoid's website : http://www.astronoid.net/en/accueil/index.html

But the best thing to do would be to download it first, it’s free, you can play on 4 planets with 3 different ships. Of course, as usual, if you pay you can have more planets and faster ships. But lots of us only play on the free tracks, and we have fun like this too. But as I’m really addicted, I bought my licence :)

We’re waiting for you !

Best regards,

Snail (don’t hesitate to tell me if you try the game, I’ll be pleased to come and play online with you and give you tips :)

You tell us all this but don't provide a link? :-/

Because I'm not a spammer, just google astronoid.net, there shouldn't be any problem (I hope google finds it).

Please tell me if you try it, and what you thought about it. We could also play online together :)

PS :Moderators if I can put a link just tell it to me, otherwise no problem at all :)

I did that but the site didn't work..

???
That's really not cool :(
I don't understand... I've just tried in google, it works here.
Is it the same for anybody ?

It's quite alright to include a link to your review of this game for the viewers.

What do you mean by a link to my review ? I can't put a link to Astronoid's website do I ?

Nice find ^^

I like it !

Cool :)
What's your ID on astronoid so I can come and play with you if I see on servers ?

Don't forget everybody, there's a totally free version on which we can have great fun.
You could do a ragezone team and meet yourselves and play few minutes some times... I would like to be the "honorous member" (membre d'honneur in french) of your team :)

Anybody who appreciate the game would be welcome on astro's forum (and would be the first foreigner person to post on the english board :)
You'll see,we're only a small community yet, but very friendly.

Hoping to race with a "ragezone team" one day,

Cheers :)

dude... why didnt you include the link? it would be easier for everyone... because there are some lazy people witch dont know how that a thing called google exists, dont wanna offend anyone with this post ^^

I'll edit that, it' seems there's no problem :)

Done (tell me if I have to take it off, I'll do it quickly), but lazy people are complaining :lol:

I've also put a link for the official trailer (note that it's only ingame video shots) :)

Thanks to all of you :)

have a nice day !

hmmm seems like for amatuer you gotta pay... thats dumb, because amatuer ships are better then the ones for beginner o_O"

I usually play on beginner federation (free), that's the place where you can meet more people, and you can have quite good races :)
But sure, 2000km/h is better than the 500km/h of beginners...(you must be able to pilot at those speed, that's not easy...
The free server is a really good place to meet with your friends, race and chat, in two words : have fun :)

snail1 joined a game i was playing in lol

I'll give it a try... :) I'm bored right now anyway.

:lol: vinzone ! :)
That's funny :)
So you have probably been beaten by a snail's schoolship haven't you ? :lol:
I had a cool game with you and the others... (that was so funny, Blux was angry because we we're speaking english, in french he said "wtf, we're in France...bla bla bla...", do you remember what I replied him vinzone ?

Why don't you do a ragezone team ? (on free server of course)
I would be honored if I could be a "membre d'honneur" :)

It's a great place to race, chat, in two words, having fun :)

Polluxval, what's your ID so I can say you a little hello :)


Edit : There's a "wiseturtle" online... what a great ID (I wish I had found it before...), is it you ?

somehow I can't connect to any game. and take about 20 retries to take the tutorial. :/

That's probably because you have to pass your "driving licence" before.
Go in "license", then clic on "antigrav license", in 5 minutes the computer will have learned you how to drive and everything, then you will be able to play with real people :)

I hope it's that...

What's your ID if I meet you :)

I might try this but the download is so slowwww...

Try on gamershell :
http://www.gamershell.com/download_12999.shtml

Is it better ? I don't know indeed...

I cant take the driving license. Always says: UNABLE TO CONNECT TO SERVER. :/

I'm going to try to understand what they say on the french forum about that...
If I manage to understand, I'll translate that for you :)

First of all, isn't it a problem with your firewall ?

Did you install the program in the default repertory (program files) ?
If not uninstall the game, then let him install it where he wants, that should work.

I'm returning on the forum to see other solutions :)

the players and game's appear. and I dunn have firewall nor antivirus. :s
I dunn visit that sick pages u guys do. :)

I edited my post, but can't edit it anymore, have you tried this solution.

Other possible problem, is your directX updated ?

I left everything by default only change language (english)
Since yesterday sends me the same error: UNABLE TO CONNECT TO SERVER click any button to quit
maybe it's a problem with the server for the licence's?

about DirectX my brother has installed 9.0 c
