Hi!

I know the game currently supports "scenarios" for multiplayer in beta and the full, final game will have multiplayer as well. However, I was curious, is it intended for the final release to have a multiplayer function for 'Tycoon' mode as well...? As in, rather than just playing against each other to build a car / engine in a certain period of time under certain requirements, we we be able to build competing companies as time goes on and see how each other does, a la Transport Tycoon, etc?

Cheers and thanks for all the great work!

Yes, the multiplayer mode of the Grand Campaign is going to be one of the main features of the game.

Fixed that for you

Thanks very much Killrob! Looking forward to competing with friends and seeing how our companies do!

I assume multiplayer will be scaled to production year?

ETA: Just to be clear, my 1950 designs won't be up against 2000's tech?

When the final game becomes available I plan to start from the beginning!

I do believe that goes without saying These devs do seem to be fairly smart.

And in one case, shiny.

Keep in mind, the "grand campaign" is a competition between different car makers within the same world. You can hardly compete with some company who's current CEO might not even be born at that time!

Just checking!

Hi

This is my first post since realizing the website has a dedicated forum, and this was the first question which raced...P through my mind, and I am happy to see what seems to be a confirmation? of what I was hoping for.....and I also believe this mode (if done right) will be freakin awsome...
and wd darkstrike for askin.......like you say " were "just checking"....

If you're looking for a taste of that kind of competition, go to the Community Challenges section. Der Bayer is putting on the CTC #5, which is a sales competition. They're quite fun to compete in, and the data from that competition, no doubt, helps in the development of that feature.
