Hey, just wanted to get some more car guys to have a look at the game im working on,


Its basicly a game where you run a car company, along the line of "Detroit" and "Car Tycoon" except we are going for more detail, and more nerdy stuff, designing your own engines, stuff like that.


if any one wants to come have a look at the game so far (about 5% complete tbh!) and spam me with suggestions etc, that'd be cool

mate that is truly awesome, can I ask what forms of forced induction will be available later down the track?
I am really amazed at the level of detail but you have gone into. Can I ask on average how accurate this is as a resource for others to work off when modifying certain engines with the similar layout?

Looks like you're making nice progress on the graphics!

Yep, should be Turbochargers of various sizes, both single and multiple setups, and every type of supercharger you can think of!

Not accurate enough to base a real engine off, we have tuned it based on various dyno sheets we have found, research from various places and what feels right.

It should make numbers that feel about right for the engine, and changes you make will do what you'd expect, and it would be a great tool to learn how engines work and what sort of changes have what sort of effects.

Also here is the a picture that shows the myriad of options available to you within the Engine Designer Demo. The demo only pertains to the Inline 4 engine configuration, the full game of course will cover a wide range of configurations.

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

Wow great to see the progress. The videos are top too.

I'll be sure to get a copy soon
