Once you've selected the start year, you can then proceed with choosing a platform (sedan, sports, SUV etc.) and then choosing the specific body-style within the platform (2-door, hatchback, pickup etc.). The technologies available to you will depend on your start year - don't expect to design 10,000 rpm V12 DOHC with fuel injection in 1940. The start year can range from 1940 (classic cars) to 2020 (future cars). You start the game by first choosing the start year for the design. On the other hand, if you want a more fun car, here's my hot-hatch design with a 1.4L 220hp turbocharged straight-4 which does very well against the Ford Focus ST. In fact, you can't drive the cars at all.Īutomation is more like a sandbox environment where you design engines and cars to specs that you like.įor example, here's my design that I call the HK ("Huayra Killer" ) which is an all-out hypercar with a 5.0L 827hp V12 and goes around the Top Gear track in 1:09.77. Unlike most other car games out there, the focus here is less on driving the cars and more about designing them. Furthermore, the detailed graphics really shine when it comes to rendering the dizzying amount of detail that has been put into every engine component.I'm a bit surprised that one of my favourite games is not here - " Automation: The Car Company Tycoon Game". In the end, Automation – The Car Company Tycoon Game wants to make it as hard as possible for you to start a successful company, but enjoyable at the same time, through the astounding number of options you have in the creation of your cars. Witness the hardships of the car industry Naturally, you can always change your tactics and release multiple type of vehicles, so that in the end you become one of the most powerful car manufacturer in the world. The tycoon gimmicks involve you being able to target a specific market share for your products and choosing whether you want to sell cheap cars in large quantities, or more expensive cars to fewer people. Naturally, this can be done inside the game too, since you can actually model the cars according to your preferences and give them the appropriate appearances, to go with the type of engine they will use. Place the engines in your custom-made carsĪfter you are done designing the part that allows it to move, the work on the rest of the vehicle can start as well. Moreover, this makes it much more difficult for you to handle the task without consulting the extensive tutorials available for you to get a grip on the situation. At this chapter, the game really impresses through the amount of detail and work that has been put into representing each engine component as accurately as possible. To start off with, you need to design the engine, which is arguably the most important part of a car. The main game campaign starts in 1946, which poses you with some additional problems, since much of today's technology wasn't available yet and you must make due without it, until you reach the modern times and you unlock access to it. Start your own car companyĪutomation – The Car Company Tycoon Game was created in order to offer you a bit of perspective on how difficult it can be to undertake a task like car manufacturing. However, all this progress required a lot of work from dedicated engineers, as well as many technological breakthroughs over the years. Thus, it is now possible to travel faster and better, as well as remain relatively safe even in the case of accidents. Cars have been around for over one hundred years now and they have greatly evolved since then, especially when it comes to comfort, safety and speed.
