“Buying in Early Access will give you a 15 percent discount from the purchase price of Automation when it reaches full release.” Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access? Additionally, a completely new Lite Campaign will deploy in this version, with a vastly improved sales and production model that will address most, if not all, of the complaints from LCV4.1 and earlier.” The Car Designer sees several changes as well, with the introduction of better brake customisation, as well as user-controlled tools to control both the amount and distribution of a car’s weight. Turbochargers will be completely re-worked, with many more options and configurations available. LCV4.2 will see the introduction of a complete re-work of the Engine Designer, with vastly improved calculations and simulation of both naturally-aspirated and forced-induction engines. “Currently, the Car and Engine Designer tools are close to being feature-complete. What is the current state of the Early Access version? “In the full release of Automation, we will have the Car and Engine Designer feature-complete, a Multiplayer Challenge Mode, as well as the fully-functional Campaign mode.” How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version? There will likely be a V5.1 and 5.2 Update along the way.”

LCV5.0 will be primarily a campaign-based update, and will begin the process of making the Campaign Modes feature-complete. Additionally, we are planning to bring back the Multiplayer Challenge Mode from the Kee Engine days in LCV4.3.

With this, all of the Scenarios and Tutorials will be re-done to reflect the changes made in the game, and will return in this version. Once the LCV4.2 development cycle is completed later in 2022, LCV4.3 will introduce supercharging to the Engine Designer, at which point both design tools will be feature-complete. “Automation continues to be in active development, and will continue to be in development for the foreseeable future. “Automation is a very expansive game, and without the financial support that Early Access offers, this game would otherwise be impossible to produce to the high standards we strive for.”Īpproximately how long will this game be in Early Access?
