Alright! Update time!
As we had some more free time to work on the site, we can now say we have a working News system on the site, covering 4 main categories: AutomationHub itself, Automation (game), Carcompanies and Modding.
AutomationHub explains itself. It’s about all news related to the website with new uploads, manuals and guides or other exciting or good stuff.
Automation displays news items about the game itself, when there is a new update, or important messages broadcasted by the devs.
Carcompanies will be an interview with a certain company owner on the website, who will be in the spotlight when he (or she) did a a good job at making a model, or maintaining a company etc. So effort will be rewarded!
Modding will be about teams or one-man-armies that are creating game mods and tweaks to improve the game with additional content etc. To give them more attention (and show we support modding) we want to give them a place to be recognised for their work and effort.
The frontpage finally has it’s final layout (well, for now that is) which displays the latest info you need. Also space for ads is calculated in (yes, ads. Read my previous posts in this topic why they are on the website) Also we will have a slider to put a nice picture up which puts those earlier named companies and moddingteams into the spotlight and their work.
We have the new logo implemented, changed the donation part a bit (you can now buy us beers to keep on working! haha! )
Then onto something quite important. You can now already make your own carcompanies! With your own logo! and your own banner, history, founded year and name!

Only thing we need to work on now, is to get people to be able to edit their company page, and add their models and engines to their companies, along with a nice picture of their model and the statistics. Dont worry, if you dont have a logo or banner yet, we have one for you to fill in that space for you so your company page doesn’t look that empty.
Slightly get your hopes up to be creating and editting your carcompany by the end of April. (atleast, thats what we aim for in our schedule) We cant make you a promise, betting on our lives, but we try our best.
Hope we informed you enough at this moment!
To stimulate your wildest fantasies even more, here is a screenshot of the ‘Create a Company’ page:
