Re: Car Designer Demo
Or even better: why not let the people on this site, decide if the car that you are making is going to be top-seller or not? You can make both (the game and this site) make interactif. (Do you understand what I mean?)

Hrrmm... at first I thought: "Ohh cool, this would be a really neat feature!", but I gave it some time to sink in: this could yield bad game design if implemented too simplistic. Why?

So what does that mean? I'd say it means: in principle this is a good idea, but in practice it might be a bad one if implemented too simplistic. If you tie varying preferences to each individual buyer group, this becomes super-complex and time consuming to program, but also a non-issue and a good feature! Just wanted to say that you might be moving out onto thin game-design ice here.

I am simply clicking on a thumbnail picture of a headlight that I want. I was then clicking on the car to place the headlight where I want it. If I then click somewhere else on the car it will also stamp another headlight into the car.
To remove a headlight, you click and drag it off the car. Currently after a headlight has been placed, you then click on it again to get the rotate and size gizmo to appear. (That will change to make the gizmo always appear when that headlight is placed).
Right click controls the camera rotation, left click deals with all placement of car fixtures.
It is all pretty easy to use.
