Looks good.
I hope you can go all Henry Ford and hire hitmen to kill union members, and jews.

I'm sending in a beta application.

EDIT: scrap that, can't find where to make an account.

2nd edit: found it, seems they want pretty serious testers. Sent an application anyway.

[EFFalcon]

yeh i put in an application in, its right down my alley

Jewish union members beware.

Damn straight, keep out of my slave factories! I got some cheap cars to push out. You buy now.

The more I read about it, the more interested I am. They've done a pretty awesome job so far.
They're Aussies too, so it's a win-win.

I've already planned on dropping a 302w into everything that moves

You want to make everything slow why??

Looks great.. Watching with interest

Pull a Ford, use the same engine for 40 years, save money

Does anyone remember playing Detroit, and Motor City back in the mid 90s? Not quite up to 2011 graphics standards, but follows the same idea.

reminds me of Carbuilder on the old IBM's in monochrome lol.......same theory, better graphics, wonder if u get to test drive the car?

[daffyflyer]

Hi all, saw a bunch of you coming to our website from here so thought i'd drop in.

You won't be able to drive cars sadly, but thats something we might add later on if we get the time and money to do it.

Also - Ima just leave this here for you

[XR_Lightning]

thats crazy! pretty in depth, nice work guys!

[InfernalTyrant]

Looks to be really cool.
Good of you to stop by.

[holmsy]

pretty cool system.
would be awsome if you could then drive the car.
give a whole purpose to making it i guess.

interested in how accurate the motor building stats are like power etc.
have you made an existing motor in this and compared the figures?

[XR_Lightning]

would be good to drive it, but thats not the point of the game, if you could drive the cars it would take alot away from the in-depth building stage I would say

[holmsy]

yeh but doesnt need to be a full driving game
simple as a drag track or an oval or something you know.
but your right. the point of it is design n shit

[turbo_nut]

i love it cant wait till release

[daffyflyer]

Yeah, we tested it with a lot of real engines and its pretty damned close (still the subject of ongoing tweakage)

[holmsy]

i dont know if the way it works out the power would allow for it.
but would be interesting to be able to setup what heads etc you have to. like flow rates n shit of heads. cams intakes etc.

[EFFalcon]

Hey daffy, good to see you stopped by.
you guys are making great progress.

you guys inspired me to get working on my project again!

[daffyflyer]

We've started preorders to support development!

Go to Project: Automation - The Car Company Tycoon Game | RocketHub if you wish to preorder.

Not only to you get the warm fuzzy feeling of supporting us to get Automation done better and faster, you also save $10 off the final price and get access to extra content when the demo comes out
(When we release the demo it will be limited to Inline 4 hatchbacks, but those of you who've preordered will get access to everything as we finish it)

Please spread the word about this to anyone you know who might like it, if this does well Automation could be done a lot quicker and to a higher standard
