Automation - The Car Co. Tycoon Game

This is a truely awesome project, very ambitious but not dangerously so. I had the chance to test it quite a bit already, and although it is far from finished, its huge potential shines through all the little gaps there are still to fill. Cheers!

Awesome thing!

By MadRush Sep 3rd, 2011 at 04:27 PM EDT

When can we try out the demo? I am really excited about this game

By Charles Daugharthy Sep 5th, 2011 at 08:43 PM EDT

When will the demo be available?

By Evan Sep 6th, 2011 at 11:44 AM EDT

This looks really promising, and the exact game that i've been looking for!

By Elliott McCombe Sep 7th, 2011 at 06:34 AM EDT

I have always imagined a game something like this!!!! When i saw this on autoblog.com I just couldnt beleave it. I had so many ideas and thought of how far they could take this game. You could design the cars design where the cars are built ( japan, USA, Germany,....) say how much the cars can be sold for design car dealerships; hire and fire your employees add ons could be custom shops to enhance the cars Just so many possibilities!!!!!! I cant wait!

I remember playing Car Builder on the Apple II growing up. I doubt it is deep enough to entertain me these days, but maybe this will be!

By Stephen Eckman Sep 10th, 2011 at 06:20 PM EDT

yes. i played carbuilder also growing up.... i found a free dos game called detroit, that kept my patient for about a week.. its nice until this is out on demo...

By Scott Adkins Sep 22nd, 2011 at 08:26 PM EDT

oh and don't forget, let all your friends know about automation, and talk them into donating... lets let these guys quit their day jobs and work full time on this thing.... im advertising my brains out, for i would love to see rockethub finished tomorrow... with a surge of donations.... and it could happen if everyone would push out advertisements... come on lets get this done and done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

By Scott Adkins Sep 22nd, 2011 at 08:30 PM EDT

Love your project... best of luck!

By VinoMatch, Inc. Sep 27th, 2011 at 02:28 PM EDT

Can't wait! This should be an interesting game, and hopefully a successful entry into a lucrative business for these guys!

By Ducatisto Nov 27th, 2011 at 05:29 PM EST

I wish I had known about RocketHub back when you guys were fundraising, this game looks so cool! I am sorry you did not reach your goal. I have the same goal set for my race team, we should be live some time later today! I hope you guys find some funding for your game, it really seems awesome! -Matt Young Matt Young Motorsports
