g'day guys, i stumbled across this site, a while back and have been watching with great anticipation of it's eventual release,

i'm a modder for a couple of games called World racing 2, and Alarm for cobra ll Highway Nights

here's my question, will this game be moddable, will i be able to introduce some good ol' aussiemuscle into your game format...

thanks and keep it going

You should be able to build some good ol' aussie muscle without modifying the game. As well as almost any production car from the mid forties to present day.

All the games data files are build using either lua or xml files. So should be modifiable by the community.

The main issue will be new models and art assets, as they are restricted to the format of the engine we are using. We will probably make exporters and asset managers available with the game.

Once the game is later in production, I will be more satisfied to state what will, or will not be do able.

But, we do not want to be seen as stiffiling modding to push DLC, as we do have plans for some DLC in the future

good stuff, i am looking at a few different games, and yours is on my radar, i'm watching with keen interest. i did look at another *who will remain nameless* but he's just not willing to budge on the modding thing...says it will cost too much which is complete rubbish..but thats a topic for another day...

if it's editable..i'm willing to pay for the end product..keep going guys.

We are aiming to have some form on in game car modelling.

The idea is people can make any production car.

You will be able to make cars like a V8 Falcon, a Polo, a boxy volvo wagon, a MX-5.

this is more what i had in mind lol, something that says hey i'm australian and i mean business lol

this is a screen from a german game called alarm for cobra - Highway Nights.

but this gives you a general idea of what i'm hoping i can bring to this game...cheers

No, thats kind of the point though, we aim for the in game tools to allow you to replicate something pretty much exactly like that Falcon Coupe or any other car you could name, No modding required.

You'd have all the appropriate mechanical options to make it mechanicaly the same, and you'd be able to get it looking very similar in the design tools

nice, and i presume i can race them...this game kind of reminds me, of 2 games i modded for gearhead garage/streetrod3...

my ears kinda have pricked..this game could be very very interesting keep going guys...

[Daffyflyer]

No plans for racing as yet, its pretty much more about designing and selling the cars, its a "tycoon" sort of game, and I guess a little similar to gearhead garage -


http://automationgame.com/node/1 might give you a better idea of the plan

awesome looking forward to this...

tbh if GHG had of had a sequel it would have been awesome..but alas they made some bad choices financially so they didnt go anywheer

hope you guys dont go down the same road...as i have said keep going..sounds promising

any ideas on a apha etc
