Improvements Showcased Below are.



  • Real Time Dyno Graphs


  • Image Based Lighting


  • Combustion Animation


  • New Dyno Room Art


  • Don't forget you if you like what you see, you can preorder now from the link above or http://automationgame.com/buy

    That looks much better than before, the lighting has improved a lot. Great work, I haven't been this excited about a game for a while. Pre-ordered yesterday.

    Crikey! I've just realised those silly French people have made my engine back-to-front :P The exhaust valves are at the back and the intake on the front. It never occurred to me that there would even be any variation, although I suppose there's no reason to go one way or the other except packaging (and I'd have thought you could mount the engine lower if there's no exhaust running under it, which ought to be better?) I seem to recall Honda I4s actually turn the opposite way to most makes, that's even odder.

    Now when do I get to play with it? *impatience*

    Keep up the continual improvements; they are great! Those chrome headers look really cool and I love the new dyno room.

    Could be stranger, old FWD cars (like some old Renaults and Citroëns) have the engine facing the front of the car, with the gearbox in front of it. A bit pricey to produce, but not bad for weight distribution!

    Dam them lawyers!!!!! Don't blame you guys you defiantly need to protect all your time and effort. I know personality its been a long time since I have been this exited for a game and didn't have any real worries that the developers dropped the ball and i just bought a turd. Not to put any more weight on your guys shoulders but I was starting to think the day's of great games was over. Thanks
