The Automation Gamer Challenge [NEW THREAD]

I know it’s not over the top or anything but eh, It’s a convertible

Wagonmaker Orion - The last true Muscle Car

Progress doesn’t contradict tradition; Packing just the electronics it needs, coil live axle rear and the correct (60°) V8, the Orion is the last of the true performance cars, uncorrupted.

The Orion isn’t over the top; It’s just right. 1.7 tonnes of aluminium and steel, 674 Nm of tourque and 540 hp shoot them up to 60 mph in 4 seconds, topping out at 8 under 200 mph, easily.


And after a long day of work, literally hop in over the convertible roof and take in the whole presence of your 6.5 l SOHC ferrying you reliably into the Sunset, sincerely.

Copperhead.


Totally intentionally out of focus

By definition, this is a Coupe, a Coupe Utility.

Big engine, Big Power, a sizeable Boot and doesn’t handle until you have sizeable Front tyres.
So it’s also Muscle

American… urh nah, it’s named after an Aussie Snake, it’s Australian in Concept, and has a Comet-Bar, which is Australian, But people liked the El-Camino right?

Also totally don’t mind to addition to the Snake eyes, some Kiba

Judgement Day, about 2 weeks after.

or at least that's what the Boss says

KOMPAK Game Studios HQ - Japan


image taken from here and yes its the same exact image shush

The top developers of KOMPAK assembled in a meeting room yet again to discuss the final plans for the game before release.
They have received the designs from the indie artists that they reached out to.
Boss stands in front, and with the snap of his fingers, the lights switch off and the Television in the middle displays a collage of all the cars they’ve recieved - six different designs from six different designers.
The boss looks at everyone, and with the “manliest” voice ever -
“Sa~a, hajimeyou!”


AHSI Dreadnought by @Tzuyu_main

A “woah” sweeped the room as the images of the first car flashes onto the screen. And one by one, the developers took careful looks at the cars and thus gave their opinions.

“I like the look of it.”
“It has an aggresive stance. I can see this being rather popular with fans.”
“It’s like it is staring into my soul!”
“I love how it just feels like something a demon would drive!”
“It’s engine is a 5.5L, I haven’t seen the others yet but that sounds fairly large!”
“We should use this one!”
“Would a car like this really match a demon like Durante? It is cool but it looks rather…?”

And with that sentence, everyone went silent.

“M-Maybe we should see the rest before deciding on this one!”

And so, came the next car.


Magnum Bullet by @Mikonp7

A “woah” swept the room yet again as the images of the second car flashed onto the screen.

“The front end looks reminiscent of a certain car…”
“Yeah! I think this car’s front end looks like a modern rendition of it!”
“The wheels don’t really match it if you ask me. It looks like what my American friend’s dad would do.”
“Aren’t we marketing this to Americans?”
“Not those Americans!”
“The exhaust placement matches the car rather well, however the rear lights might look a bit dated…”
“It’s also pretty slow… Despite having a larger engine than the first one. A whole 6 litres yet it accelerates…”
“… not very quickly?”
“Yeah…”
“M-Maybe we should move on to the next one for now…?”

With everyone agreeing, the next car flashed onto the screen.


Centurion Thunder 376 Nightwave by @LightningMcQueen

Opinions inside the meeting room were mixed for this car.

“That’s a rather long name. Can’t they just call it Durantemobile?”
“I like how aggresive the lower front fascia looks.”
“The front fascia reminds me of my fish.”
“The lights are sticking out, even the rear ones…”
“It doesn’t look very pleasing, but I think we could add some sort of power with it?”
“That sounds stupid. You’re stupid.”
“It’s got a 6.2L, and its way quicker than the previous ones too…”
“The side vents make it look more like a fish.”
“Can you shut up about fishes already?”
“Maybe we should skip this one…”

And so, the next car flashed onto the screen.


Wagonmaker Orion by @Slyo_vom_Pluto

Again, opinions inside the meeting room were mixed for this car.

"Oh, no glowing lights?
“I love the front! It reminds me very much of that one car-”
“Okay no more comparisons, please.”
“Engine is a 6.5L, yet it makes less than the previous one.”
“Acceleration times seem decent enough, there isn’t too huge a difference.”
“The sides look rather empty.”
“The body seems weirdly proportioned. It looks like my auntie’s car almost.”
“Yeah, and the wheels look like they belong on my son’s car.”
“It looks like its blushing, doesn’t it?”
“Don’t bring your sexual fantasies onto our game!”
“Y-yeah, lets move onto the other one…”

While everyone was rambling about, the next car flashed onto the screen.


Copperhead by @That-S-cop

Confusion swept the meeting room.

“Hey, didn’t we ask for coupes?”
“This is a coupe utility. So it still is a coupe.”
“We’re supposed to cater to Americans! Not Australians!”
“Durante is Italian-American, wasn’t he?”
“I’m very much confused.”
“T-that aside, we should talk about the car a bit more.”
“Its a beautiful design, everything just seems to work, doesn’t it?”
“Yeah! From the way the lights match the snake design, to the intakes sticking out of the hood!”
“It’s engine is the largest out of all we’ve recieved. A whole 7 litres!”
“It makes 1000HP as well, apparently. But its acceleration times aren’t as quick as I’d hoped.”
“We can’t keep it, sadly. Its slightly too Australian for what the game is supposed to be.”

And with that, they moved onto the final vehicle.


Edelgard Wyvern GTX Blackflame by @Xepy

As the TV screen flashed to the final vehicle, everyone calmed down.

“Hey isn’t that-”
“We’re throwing you out of the room.”
“The name is really long… Why can’t we just call them Durantemobiles?”
“Anyway, this one seems very nice looking.”
“Yes, yes! The louvres really add to the vehicle!”
“The tail lights look rather weirdly proportioned, don’t they?”
“Nah, its just you… I think?”
“Something interesting is going on with the fender flares.”
“Engine seems to be on the larger end, a 6.5L.”
“Acceleration times are as quick as the other long-name car!”
“Do we use this one? Or are there any more?”


In the midst of all their rambling, the Boss snaps his fingers, and everyone silences themselves.

“Everyone…”

There was a long pause.

“Based on your opinions and reactions to the cars, I think I’ve managed to pick exactly the car. This meeting is concluded.”

A “woah” is heard throughout the meeting room, before the lights switch on and everyone leaves.
The Boss sits back on his chair.

“Let’s see if people will enjoy it.”

I can’t unsee the fish comparison now

AGC12 - Comet through!!!
urh yeah, another round starting with "Comet", maybe one day I'l have a round that doesn't have it in the name.

Backstory

September 2nd 2013, Comet-Bar Headquarters, Emu Plains

Gareth - “‘Acredited artist: Steve Patterson’,wait a second, SO THAT’S WHAT THE OTHER CAD PLANS WERE FOR, and no wonder why there happened to be plans for a Marksman Sabre in the Database”

short amount of time later

G - "STEVE!!!"
S - “Urh… yes boss?”
G - Pointing at Game Cover
S - “Oh… yeah… I urh…”
G - “Didn’t know you were a Freelance artist?”
S - “Sir, You literally hired me to do the CAD plans for new Comet-Bar Products, I have room for Creative liberties.”
G - “You do realise that is Bushman Bar right?”
S - “Oh don’t worry, I got clearance from Davo”
G - sigh “And what do you think we are going to do with the minor amount of royalties from sales of this game”
S - “Sir, you do realise that the games business is particularly lucrative right? I reckon with the size of the company, we can probably invest in a small games developer”
G - “I’ll ask Dave if you can get a promotion”
S - “I highly…”
Gareth walks off

Comet-Bar buys a 40% stake in
Chipped Stones Games Studio

September 18th 2013, Chipped Stones Games Studio, Sydney CBD

“Right… we now have the backing and funds to start developing a sequel to Comet-through
“The Company that bought out 40% of our Studio is one of the largest Off-road specialists… that happens to have part of their name be shared with our flagship game”
“Let’s not dwell… we need to start development of this game soon”
“It’s a sequel right? and not just a super HD remaster.”
“Yup.”
“We can replace a few vehicles for more detailed models then.”
“Well we don’t have any…”
“Outsource, it’s how Comet-Bar ended up getting into the games business”
“Wait what?”
“I’ll tell you the story later”

The Brief

You, yes you!!! Have been contracted to design the primary promotion vehicle/one of the vehicular Power jumps for ‘Comet-though: 2Anarchy’, a Side Scroller obstacle dodging game for Mobile Platforms A Jetpack Joyride game, Design any car or bike that will look the part dashing through a Lab causing anarchy as our Hero Grant Cilantro rushes through gathering distance in seeming endless labs with a JetPack.

Grant… Literally Barry Steakfries… I’m not an artist…

Basically any car will work… Just as long as it seems right dashing through the halls, going too big may be an issue with jumping,

Yes… I am asking for one to use the Bike Mod if you can even design with it.

Recommendations:

  • Try to flavour your side view
  • Don’t actually do any tuning, the cars will be judged by turning off View Chassis, to help the bike builds obviously it’s all looks.
  • Don’t affiliate a brand to your car… please, it’s a game, not a car/company advertisement.
Requirements
  • Car Model and Engine Family: AGC12 - (Forum name)
  • Car Trim and Engine Variant: Whatever works
  • Trim/Variant Max Year: 2013
  • Public Build, we need the mods.
Judging Priorities
  • Looks, mainly Side Profile, but do make the whole car for other shots… like in the ads. this is a cartoony game, but does require all angles for bringing you in.
  • Any remote sense of logic

Deadline 1st July (Moved) AEST 1200/GMT 0100

Submissions open 1200 25th AEDT/0100 25th GMT

Not much I can do about this, but if somone wants to convert my entry into the correct naming format and year that would be very apprieated (since im running OB) We can call it a joint effort if you want.

Quite a lot of mods of this one, so make sure it loads correctly I don’t want to be submiting a broken “car” spoiler, it’s a bike

Considering it’s about 2 and halfish days from Deadline and only 2 submissions so far Might have to bend the rules 3

  • Don’t extend
  • Extend 3 days
  • Extend 5 days
  • Maybe postpone till UE4.24 stable

0 voters

Deja vu, I feel like I’ve done this before


And with a majority choosing to postpone.
AGC12 will be halted until UE4.24 Stable is released, or stable enough for modded gameplay.

So, how is the future looking for this challenge then?

UE4.24 is the new stable release - you may now resume the round.

AGC12 is now Resuming, with a deadline on the 1st of July. Which is a few days after the CSC31 deadline so I don’t overload myself

Do re-read the breif, and Resubmissions are allowed up to 2 times from this point.

So if I get this right, No stats or engineering whatsoever Will be judged, and if I make it look realistic with lights, grille etc. then front and rear end styling is not important?
