We've been working hard and probably not sleeping enough!
Below is the results of this weekend's work on the engine designer, we're polishing and improving it in anticipation of releasing it as a demo soon (No firm release date yet, but we're fairly close)
Improvements Showcased Below are.
Don't forget you if you like what you see, you can preorder now from the link above or http://automationgame.com/buy
It looks great! Can’t wait for the engine designer demo.
That looks much better than before, the lighting has improved a lot. Great work, I haven’t been this excited about a game for a while. Pre-ordered yesterday.
Looks very promising, I hope we soon can test it to see wheter the money was invested good 
Nice visual enhancements!! 
Looking forward to doing bugchecks on that beauty! 
Crikey! I’ve just realised those silly French people have made my engine back-to-front 
The exhaust valves are at the back and the intake on the front. It never occurred to me that there would even be any variation, although I suppose there’s no reason to go one way or the other except packaging (and I’d have thought you could mount the engine lower if there’s no exhaust running under it, which ought to be better?) I seem to recall Honda I4s actually turn the opposite way to most makes, that’s even odder.
Now when do I get to play with it? impatience
wow, every video looks better and better!
good work guys
The more i see the more i like.
Keep up the good work guys 
Keep up the continual improvements; they are great! Those chrome headers look really cool and I love the new dyno room.
Looking good. Can’t wait to have a play!
gettin sooo anxious cant wait for the demo

Could be stranger, old FWD cars (like some old Renaults and Citroëns) have the engine facing the front of the car, with the gearbox in front of it. A bit pricey to produce, but not bad for weight distribution!
Maybe the demo will be released this week.
Aaaahhhhhhh No… 
But not too far off, and once the lawyering is done we’ll at least release the release date! XD
Dam them lawyers!!! Don’t blame you guys you defiantly need to protect all your time and effort. I know personality its been a long time since I have been this exited for a game and didn’t have any real worries that the developers dropped the ball and i just bought a turd. Not to put any more weight on your guys shoulders but I was starting to think the day’s of great games was over. Thanks
I`m about 2 months away from becoming a lawyer

not that strange my misses vauxhall (opel) vectra diesel (Isuzu engine) is the same
The Engine Designer looks really good, it is one of the features I’m really looking forward to try out myself. Very excited! 
One question though. Will we in the demo be able to save engine configurations and use those configurations in the final game?
Keep up the good work!

Thanks! And whilst you can save engines, they probably won’t work in the final game as things around manufacturing time/cost will probably change before then
