Re: Upcoming Q&A and some News

How easily moddable will be the game? More in the side of changing the background of the engine designer etc. Or will be this a fully closed game from fiddlers?

Were you planning of implementing a safety standard that is achieved by crash testing vehicles? Whether in release or a future expansion pack which has deformable vehicles and dummies. For deep down we all love a bit of destruction :mrgreen:

How detailed were you planning on having the car company side of things? Will there be the option to buy shares in other companies or even a full share market including say engine, component companies etc. to buy and sell to make more money that way. One thing I did love about Railroad Tycoon 2 was you could play the whole game without laying a single piece of track if you wanted. I'm not asking you would go to that full on, but something like that.

Also! In regards to the above..... If something like that was implemented, would you allow corporate take overs etc.? And also give the ability to keep the company private or float it on the stock market to boost cash reserves.

Multiplayer - Will it be one person per company, several per company or both?

Were you looking at doing a vehicle/engine exchange type website. Where people can share their creations? And also use say someone elses engine in their vehicle?

Twincharging..... Please? Pretty, pretty please :mrgreen:











And can we order pizzas while killing a floor with a door on the way to buy more door? And to not make it a bore, can we look in awe at the jaw of the shark next..... door?

Re: Upcoming Q&A and some News

Q: Some manufacturers (i.e. Ferrari, Porsche) have rich racing heritages that were/are integral in promoting their vehicles and aiding in their success as a business. Are there any plans to integrate a motorsport aspect to the game, perhaps in the way of factory-backed racing teams? And if so, could you give any further information on your ideas?

On the topic of driving your cars and modding: I've read that you won't be able to drive your cars in the initial release, but will you be able to export their model + rough physics data to import into existing simulations?

In the VERY FAR future when Camshaft Software becomes a billion dollar company, would you ever consider selling the company?

Re: Upcoming Q&A and some News

Will Automation be wine friendly? (I know is been asked several times)
Will I be able to play in my Amstrad CPC 464? (If I wont, just tell us something about minimum specs to play Automation)

Re: Upcoming Q&A and some News

Hi great concept hope you can make a great concept into a great game!

1. Will you have time specific events eg: 1936-45 increase of military vehicles from governments?
2. Will you have military vehicles eg: Jeeps, Halftracks, Tanks or even aeroplane engines like Rolls Royce ?
