Exciting news and such!
We’ll be releasing a demo of just the cosmetic side of the car designer (no suspension/engine installation etc.)
If you Preorder Automation (or have already) then you’ll get early access on the 30th of July. The free demo will get access to it on the 6th of August.
Below is a new trailer and a Let's Play of the cosmetic design demo.

Also, I hate to be "That guy" but if you haven't already, we'd really appreciate it if you'd vote on our Greenlight page, we're still stuck at #64 in the top 100 (we've been there for nearly a year in the 60s!)

Oh god, i couldn't stop laughing for what i made a car look like ...
[QUOTE=daffyflyer;41654364]Well it's..... it's... impressive.. :P[/QUOTE]
As long as you like it, everything is okay!
Alright, so i put on my straight face, and i'm currently trying to make a ... Musclecar/short-limo, with a slight hint of mustang on the back, and the rolls-roycey doors in the back. And here's my result so far.

Greenlight approved! CELEBRATE
[QUOTE=Woovie;41996948]Greenlight approved! CELEBRATE[/QUOTE]
Just about to rush in here and throw a cyber celebration!
Will there be a Tesla Motors addon? Not much to tune with electric motors though...
[QUOTE=SuddenImpact;41998179]Will there be a Tesla Motors addon? Not much to tune with electric motors though...[/QUOTE]
That would be interesting... You could adjust the mAh, voltage, motors. Potentially really cool addon in the future maybe? :P
If someone made a game of this depth with tanks, and then let me battle them, I would pay $200 for a retail version and also part of my soul. It'd be more complicated with crew compartments, armor thicknesses, turret rings, gun dynamics, and all such things - but holy fuck the idea of such a thing makes me moist.
That said, downloading now anyways. :v:
I demand downforce.

Oooh. We have a hatchback body now? And wings?
Yeah, hatchbacks have been around for a while.
They've been fleshing out the car designer too lately which is pretty sweet, each body type has its own weight.

It's always a delightful pleasure to break your game, sir!
there should be more games like this
So daffy, when is the next big patch gonna land?
Alright fuckers, open beta patch is out!

Let's start doing some laptimes!
[t]http://i.imgur.com/WOYwUHU.png[/t]
I'll set the first time then - [B]83.19 on Airfield![/B]
Yesssss
Is the open beta only for those who pre-ordered?
Wait, is that the Top Gear test track under a different name?
Oh wow. After getting back in the shit, i actually managed to break my old record with quite a bit!
[t]http://i.imgur.com/1AAeBnz.png[/t]
I still really can't tell if my car is shit or not, i just know it's a bit faster this time! :v:
Apparently minimizing squints your game, and it was pretty hard to hit the right buttons, but new record.

Is nobody else playing the game anymore?
I do, but I don't feel there's much to do now, already built a million million horsepower engines and stuff.
Now it's starting to look like something!

That's actually pretty cool. Seems to be a lot better than GearCity's.
I had to google it.

... I was really disappointed
Is there any progress being made on this game? It seems pretty dead, or at least like progress is slow.
Unfortunatly, there's quite far in between the patches, but If you follow them on facebook, they do frequently update their page, and every now and then, also do a live stream of development.
