About:

I was born in Brooklyn, NY and moved to Staten Island when I was about 5. I am currently trying to survive high school and trying to survive living here too. :stuck_out_tongue:

Been interested and loved cars since I was about 5 or 6. I got interested in aviation when I was 12 and I think that got me out of cars a bit. But now I love both. Iā€™ve had (and still do) almost every racing game possible for the consoles I had :smiley: And I love tycoon games. I always play Forza Motorsport 3 on my 360. I remember when I was younger, I use to be able to name almost every car on the streets :stuck_out_tongue: Had too many Matchbox and Hot Wheels haha and was obsessed with Nascar. I am also a computer whiz.

When I look at concept cars by a car company, I just think like how would it be like to design your own cars, sell them, and run your own car company. Finally found Automation and I was excited I was just in time for the beta! This really looks and sounds like an outstanding game!

Iā€™m looking forward to this game!

welcome :slight_smile:

About: I spent my formative years helping my dad work on cars. Beating body panels back into shape, rebuilding engines, painting, and generally reaching what he couldnā€™t (children have smaller hands, you know) get to. I moved on, but the smell of welding is still in my nose, paint thinner runs in my veins and I still hear the tap of a body hammer.

How did you find us?: wikipedia, while searching to find a new patch to ease my Detroit craving that has been aching for so many years.

About:

Male, 28 (at time of post), moved from UK to Spain in September 2010 so that my wife could be nearer to her mum, who has lived here for 4 years.

Used to own my own accountancy firm, which I sold in Feb 2010 to get involved in my real dream-career, web and graphic design/development. I single-handedly built www.locallizard.co.uk, which I am still hold a 15% interest in, but now I have moved to Spain I am working on building my own web design business from home.

I donā€™t have a huge interest in cars, but I do have a huge interest in games and game development. I am an avid supporter of independent developers (introversion being my clear favourite, to date), and am often hunting down IGN award finalists to see what they are developing. I would love to be a part of the development of something that is starting (comparatively) small and see it grow.

My field of expertise that I can offer to game developers is:

(Excessive, according to my wife) interest in games
20 years ā€˜gameplayā€™ experience (If my Atari ST could see me now)
Excellent grasp of the English language, ideal for proofreading and typo spotting
The brain of a programmer
Meticulous eye for detail when it comes to graphical styling
I work from home and am ALWAYS sitting in front of a PC
I WANT to help :smiley:
