Automation Game - Anyone seen this? - Midnightclub - 14-02-2013

Discovered this a few days ago and can't stop playing the demo.. seriouslessly tempted to pre-order it to unlock the turbo/supercharger addon and the straight 6 addon.. looks like it will be epic when completed!

Schweeeeeeeeeeeet tycoon games never fail to impress i shall be buying this Big Grin whens it out?




1st one to make a 306 copy with an OC logo wins a blowie from each of the staff?


RE: Automation Game - Anyone seen this? - C.A.R. - 14-02-2013

That actually looks like fun. Although all you'd want to do is build replicas of your favourite cars!

Watched the other videos on Youtube, ain't no way this is working on my 3-year old laptop!


RE: Automation Game - Anyone seen this? - Midnightclub - 14-02-2013

Not sure when it's out.. they reckon it'll be complete by early 2014.. but you can download the demo and they update it as time goes on, or you can pre-order and then you basically get the game as it's built! if you pre-order now you can design i4, i6 and v8.. and also turbo's and superchargers when they've developed it (complete in 1-2 months).. Even better of all, they're adding LOADS of new engine types and fuel types.. you can get w8,w12, w16.. rotary, electric, diesel or a hybrid, 2 stroke etc etc.. going to be epic! link to full game content: http://automationgame.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=137

EDIT: and yes you could make a replica 306 or even a maxi if you wanted to, they've already got basic 'moulds' for a CRX and supra that i've seen


RE: Automation Game - Anyone seen this? - puglove - 14-02-2013

Seems pretty good will have a bash tonight when i get home


Automation Game - Anyone seen this? - Stephen - 14-02-2013

Yeah we should all make our own 306s! Not that I have one currently.

Looks good though! Will look into in when I'm back!


RE: Automation Game - Anyone seen this? - the milkman - 14-02-2013

think im gonna give this a crack


RE: Automation Game - Anyone seen this? - Midnightclub - 14-02-2013

Been playing it most of today.. designing your own engine is quite addictive.. built a VVT'd TU5JP which made 250bhp Big Grin


RE: Automation Game - Anyone seen this? - puglove - 14-02-2013

f*ck it danny sell the 6 and just pretend from now on Tongue


RE: Automation Game - Anyone seen this? - Midnightclub - 14-02-2013

It'd certainly be a lot cheaper mate! Tongue


RE: Automation Game - Anyone seen this? - Rippthrough - 14-02-2013

Yep, I was one of the first beta testers lol

It's getting there, there's a shitload more to do though, turbo demos should be out within a month or so.
The engine simulations are relatively accurate for 'sensible' motors, they go out of whack a little for really high revving stuff at the minute though. Exhaust size ends up far too big for one.


RE: Automation Game - Anyone seen this? - Midnightclub - 14-02-2013

Ah nice one, can't wait for trying out the turbo's though..


RE: Automation Game - Anyone seen this? - C.A.R. - 14-02-2013

RE: Automation Game - Anyone seen this? - Willo - 14-02-2013

I hadn't seen it but think I'm gonna get it tbh looks great


RE: Automation Game - Anyone seen this? - Rippthrough - 14-02-2013

If you like it give them a bump up with votes on Steam's greenlight, they're not far off enough votes to get featured, which should help with exposure + development.


RE: Automation Game - Anyone seen this? - the milkman - 14-02-2013

i downloaded it and now it wont launch for some reason Confused shit thing


RE: Automation Game - Anyone seen this? - puglove - 14-02-2013

so why is the "play demo" button not lit up? can only "buy game" or "options" ?? :/


RE: Automation Game - Anyone seen this? - Curt - 14-02-2013

"Get the demo" works fine for me, downloaded installed and updating...


RE: Automation Game - Anyone seen this? - puglove - 14-02-2013

yeah i got it all installed but wont let me click on play demo on the launch screen


RE: Automation Game - Anyone seen this? - Rippthrough - 14-02-2013

I'm not sure about the demo version but for my beta launcher it requires your username and password from the forum account entered before you can hit play...


RE: Automation Game - Anyone seen this? - C.A.R. - 14-02-2013

Don't think my laptop is up to it Sad

If I post up the specs of my laptop will someone be able to confirm for me? It's a HP G61 but I'll get the full specs later...


RE: Automation Game - Anyone seen this? - Rippthrough - 14-02-2013

So long as it has pixel shader 3 it should run in some form or other...


RE: Automation Game - Anyone seen this? - Midnightclub - 14-02-2013

After you've installed it J you have to update it, then the button becomes highlighted


RE: Automation Game - Anyone seen this? - Rippthrough - 14-02-2013

But they will be adding them Wink it will be win to build a 2.0 16v DI derv with a massive blower or maybe 2


RE: Automation Game - Anyone seen this? - Rippthrough - 15-02-2013

They might be added after the full game is released as an extra.


RE: Automation Game - Anyone seen this? - C.A.R. - 15-02-2013

$35 too, not bad for the full game.

I really want this to work, but didn't get a chance to dig the laptop out last night. Don't have a desktop pc at our new place Sad

...Maybe it would work on the PC at work?!


RE: Automation Game - Anyone seen this? - Midnightclub - 15-02-2013

You could get the $25 version, the only difference is you don't get V16's
