BLUR: from the guys at LumaArcade

Hey Everyone,

I think this may be my first post ever...it might be my second. Some of you probably know who I am, most of you don't. Anyway, just wanted to tell everyone here on GG about a game called BLUR that's being developed by Luma Creative Studios and more specifically the game dedicated studio LumaArcade.

Mini #37

You've probably seen their previous game Mini #37 on the interwebs somewhere before, but their latest project BLUR is coming to InstantAction soon (currently in closed beta). Both of these games are developed with Torque.

Here's an excerpt from the IA blog--

"BLUR is InstantAction's very first racing game, brought to us by the South African studio Luma Arcade. In BLUR, players race to the finish against seven other cars, manned by either the computer or other players. The races are intense, thrusting players behind the wheel of supercharged cars that deliver a true sense of speed."

For the full scoop and more images head over to the post over at the InstantAction blog.

I'll see if I can't get the devs to post here as more information becomes available.
