Re: Introductions
I'm Joe Stickney aka many other names. I've messed about as a modder, writer and machinima maker. In real life I was a DJ and am now semi retired.
I'm probably best known / infamous as the guy who did the initial LGNPC Seyda Neen mod for Morrowind and then left the idea moldering. I've also done lots of failed mods, machinima based on old time radio which I love and am a lightly published author. I love biz sims and auto sims, however I don't actually own a car right now. I hope you will let me stay anyway.
I love computers and computer science was half my double major in college until I dropped out. For about half a decade I tested and broke the alpha versions of about every MMRPG ever made. In fact my curse is the ability to unintentionally break every game I play. Look for the bug reports and the frustrated responses from the poor devs the day after release!

Previous Vehicles of Interest: Just about anything with a little style and character!
How did you find us? Well, we are us, but how did u find us? Google, facebook, wikipedia etc?: My father actually spotted some videos of the game on a news website today, Kotaku I think was the particular one. After looking at some videos and your site, I decided this was EXACTLY what I want from a game. I pre-ordered and now I'm here!
About:
Hi, I'm Sammy. I'm an avid car fan and wish I could be in the ranks of drivers everywhere. Unfortunately for me, I'm disabled, meaning work is out of the question and as a consequence, so it driving. This hasn't stopped me looking forward to the future. Ever since I was very small, I fantasized about designing and producing my own vehicle designs. Until now no other game looked like it even came close to the customizability and sheer freedom that Automation appears to have. I, for one, am really looking forward to getting my hands greasy.
See you later!

About: I've loved cars from as early an age as I was able to pick Hotwheels up and that love has continued into my late 20s. Sadly, I haven't had much desire to get my hands dirty until I hit about 25 so I'm behind the curve there. Trying to make up ground by owning a couple of rotarys.
I've also always been a bit of a gamer, mostly racing and the occasional shooter, but managed to miss out on games like Detroit and Motor City Online.
I studied computer animation in college but sadly don't work in the industry. Automation has me pretty excited because it directly taps into pretty much every facet of life that I enjoy the most. Cars, gaming and creativity.
So far, it is shaping up really nicely, kudos on the great work and a ridiculously fun demo. Now hurry up with the spinning magic triangles!

How did you find us? Always hoped there would be an improved version of Car Tycoon from when I was younger, came across Automation and think it's fantastic
About:
Lived near Birmingham all my life (22 years) and always had an interest in cars from when I was young. Probably something to do with my dad being a sales Engineer working with many of the car manufacturers, and before that helping to organise the Motorshow at the NEC. Always enjoyed car racing games and strategy games. Although I find it fascinating to find out more about the cars themselves, one of the main reasons I ended up in car sales really!
Really looking forward to the finished project, and I hope Automation turns out to be the success it deserves to be.

About:
Found out about the game through autoblog and have been watching the progress ever since. I have an engine simulator that I play around with (Engine Analyzer Pro) but it's pretty "clinical". So to have a game that works just like it, is equally as accurate, AND has those amazing visuals - I was hooked ever since! Can't wait to see the finished product.
