Hi all, here is our latest video showing off our new environment for the car design room.

I won't be satisfied if there isn't a destroyed 1970s style office with chairs scattered everywhere as if the car has just ploughed in to it.

Looks really awesome, great fun listening to you waffle too. :lol:

Hi all,

We have released a trailer video, as we are nearing the end of our RocketHub crowd funding project. To try and get a last minute boost to our pre orders to help us out getting some funding to get going.

This is cool, I was interested in this game as well on the previous thread. Great work so far. Could you show a bit more the management aspect of it?

Lots of cool engines:
W8, W12, W16, W18
Wankel Rotaries
Flat 8
Inline 8
V4
Two Strokes
Hybrids
Electric

Don't forget boxer engines!

 

[Kevin]

The flat engines are the boxer engines

As for the management side off things, sadly there is not really anything to show yet.

We've been working hard and probably not sleeping enough!

Improvements Showcased Below are.

• Real Time Dyno Graphs
• Image Based Lighting
• Combustion Animation
• New Dyno Room Art

Don't forget you if you like what you see, you can preorder now from http://automationgame.com/buy

Another update to the engine designer

 

[argatoga]

Will there be an option to use AKI instead of RON for octane ratings?

 

[daffyflyer-]

Yup, as always we'll make sure we include options for the units you strange foreigners use

I need a better computer dammit, this looks really awesome.

If you want someone to beta test the game on lower end machines, I'm your man

Also, if you guys don't mind, can I send this to my university's ICE professor? I think he may like it. Judging on the kind of stuff we did when I took the class, he may even consider getting this as a teaching tool.

A video of the whole process of create a car in the current version of Automation.


Also, the demo has a release date, 22nd of April - 8th if you preorder

Since Daffyflyer and Zeussy are both pretty busy with actually developing the game. I've to post this.

Killrob our ze German Lead Beta Tester have made this video to show you one of the tutorial scenario in the up coming Inline 4 Demo of the game. It's the scenario where your small Ireland based Engine producing company have been contacted by a small racing team to make an under 1.5 Litre race engine.

Oh and don't forget! Automation Demo scheduled for release on April 8th for those who preordered, and April 22nd for everyone else.

Definitely going to have to try the demo out when it arrives, it really does look really interesting. Lots of promise and lots of potential.

Killrob has made another 2 videos!
