About:

Been obsessed with cars since I was in the single digits. Really excited for this game as I had a similar game when I was in junior high that I loved, but it was unfortunately really buggy. Looking for something similar ever since.

As for the rest of my life, I’m a graphic artist in Canada. Do a lot of digital and traditional art - got known on the interwebs for automotive vector pieces. Plus a huge movie / music fan. Plus I do a little automotive blogging about cars.

About:
I have been a programmer for 31 years and a tech almost as long. Back then you had to be your own tech. I was 12 when I started programming fractal videos on an Atari 400 (with a whopping 4kb of ram and the optional cassette tape deck to store your programs! Top of the line circa 1980! My current non-smartphone has more in it!)

Name: Let’s leave it as Commanderraf

Occupation: Uh… you could say University Professor.

Location: Mexico City

Interests: Videogames, computers, cars and Japanese culture.

Vehicles Currently Owned: A 1969 Volkswagen Type 1.

Dream Garage Vehicles: A vintage Volkswagen collection (Type 2, Karmann Ghia), a Subaru 360 and a Peel P50… Yes, I like small cars.

Previous Vehicles of Interest: Hm… None really. I’ve been obsessed with Volkswagen since I was a little kid.

How did you find us? Wikipedia link on the page of “Car Tycoon”. How did I find that page? By searching in Google for a tycoon game but about cars. I know… amazing!

About:

Since I was a little kid -back in the late 80’s- I’ve been obsessed with my familiy’s 1969 Volkswagen Type 1 (or Beetle if you want to call it that way, but NEVER call it a Bug). That car was bought by my grandmother, later inherited to my mum. Back then I used to tell my granny that I would grow up to become a Volkswagen mechanic and give her free service on her car.

Although the car obsession never went fully away, later in videogames and computers became a bigger interest for me. It was -funnyly enough- when I bought Gran Turismo 4 for the PS2 when I rediscovered my love for cars in general and the Volkswagen of my family.

I am now a graduate on International Relations -yup, most Latin American Universities and some European ones (the ones who follow the French school of Sociology) consider us as an independent discipline from Political science or Sociology- who specialized in Japan but still play videogames and, after 20 years of yearning for it, finally the official owner of the same Volkswagen Type 1 I’ve loved since I was a kid.

I have high hopes for this project and by the looks of it, it will fulfill them. Although I recently found out about it, I would like to help the team developing Automation in anyway I can.

Wow, didn’t think this many people were already on the forums. Seems I’ve underestimated this production from the rockethub page I visited. Great to see so many enthousiasts around.

About:

I like strange facts, strange arts and strange games. Although automation is probably not “strange” in the usual sense, it’s a bit niche. That’s what piqued my interest in the first place.
Just got the rockethub pre-order email today, suddenly I’m excided enough to do something I usually don’t… make a forum post.
I probably won’t post much, but I’ll be sure to check the forums every once in a while.
