About: Self employed photographer. Ex-programmer, and project manager. I also sold cars, specifically Toyotas & Subarus for a bunch of years in the 90s and briefly in early '00s. So I look to them a lot in what I build. Prior to that I worked in the music business as an audio engineer. I have to admit, I am having a great time with Automation, and I am really looking forward to the campaign version. When I saw this game was influenced from the game Detroit, I got all warm and fuzzy. I loved that game.

Found the game by browsing in Steam on the day after Christmas, always loved car games and this one already reminds me of “Car Builder” from the Apple IIe days in grade school. It also reminded me of the Commodore 64 game “Street Rod”. Yes, that should show how old I am.
I never actually did this when I first came on. About 1 year late but I don’t care.

I first came across Automation when I got sick of those stupid online car editors. And I am not talking about 3dtuning or Stuner. I loved 3dtuning and I did not even know about Stuner. I did not want to edit cars anymore, and I wanted to make some of my own creations. I searched a lot for good car creators, and I saw Automation! I had the demo for a bit, and on Christmas, I got money that I was allowed to use to get Automation, and I have been happy ever since.

How I found Automation?: A pop-up on Steam. The best one ever, I’m having such a blast building my dream cars!
I’ve been drawing/designing cars since I was a little kid - I must have done 3000+ sketches total. I was also a total car geek from 4 years old an up. When I couldn’t even write full sentences, I could already tell how many horsepower such and such Porsche had. When I grew up, I switched to working on real cars. Since I’ve done many performance modifications and also a little restoration work. I’m contemplating on starting another business in the future - I was an enterpreneur in the past. Now I’m fighting some challenging health issues and laying low so to speak, working only part time. When I have the resources, I will be doing a semi-restoration on a '85 Alfa Romeo 75 which I plan to use as a daily driver in the summer time and hopefully take a trip to Italy in as well. Currently I spend far too much time doing Automation car designs and roleplaying the shit out of this forum! Currently the average time spent on a single car model I post on my company topic is 10 hours+. So I need to get out more

How did you find us? Videos on YouTube. It seemed very interesting to build a car company from the ground up and have control over EVERY aspect of each car you produce. I eventually got it, and I’ve become quite addicted so far.
About:
Cars have fascinated me for years, the only other thing that comes close is computers, and those two are about tied. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to get into cars like computers, as I had my first computer when I was four years old and I instantly started tinkering and learning. My current project computer combines an Intel Core-i7 6700K and an nVidia GTX 980 Ti with 8GB of DDR4 RAM… Quite the expensive little gaming computer. Aside from this, I play a wide variety of other games, such as the Devil May Cry series, Resident Evil, Papyrus’ old NASCAR Racing series, especially NR2003, rFactor, iRacing, older Gran Turismo games, Grand Theft Auto. As you can see, a pattern. A lot of cars, a lot of racing…
Ever since I was little, I’ve wanted to get into racing, mainly NASCAR. Unfortunately, not coming from a family with extremely deep pockets, I’ve never had the chance to learn or get a car, so games like iRacing and NR2003 are the closest I’ve ever gotten to sitting in the driver’s seat of a real racecar. Now that I’m 19 years old, even with a source of income, I know my dreams of making it to NASCAR’s top level will never come true, as a lot of the sport’s talent now are drivers my age or even younger who have been racing their entire lives. That doesn’t bother me as much as it used to.
The only other thing I’ve ever wanted to get into is programming. Just having the ability to make your imagination come to life in a form that you and everyone else in the world can enjoy, just seems really cool to me. I know the basics, and that’s literally about it. “HELLO WORLD!”
I’m much better at fixing computers, both the hardware and software, but when it comes to actually programming said software, I may as well be trying to build NASA’s next top level space shuttle with nothing but paper and tape and those dinky scissors you were given in Kindergarten.
With that being said, the new Paperformance20-TT will be released within the next year.

About:
Always been a car fan, a Mac user, and a wannabe car designer, so I’ve seen this game and never been able to have a go. Now I’ve decided to join the dark side and I have a PC on the way, so I’ll get the Steam version of the game when it comes. I might even learn a few things about Suck, Squeeze, Bang, Blow (is that the right order? ). Muchly looking forward to the Unreal engine update to the game.
