Automation System Requirements

Published by Camshaft Software


What we love

1. The current release contains the Car and Engine design aspects of Automation along with a simplified "Lite Campaign" version of the Tycoon gameplay.

2. As well as an Open Beta of the Car and Engine design aspects of Automation built in Unreal Engine 4, giving major improvements in graphical quality, performance, playability and UI Design.

3. For more info, check out the official announcement posted here on Steam and the Exporter FAQ.***IMPORTANT NOTE:*** The current version contains a simplified "Lite Campaign" version of the Tycoon aspects.

4. Automation is comprised of three major game components - the Engine Designer, the Car Designer and the Company Manager.

5. The current Open Beta is also an almost complete remake of the game in Unreal Engine 4, for a huge improvement in visuals, performance and usability.

6. With powerful tools like the Engine Designer, the player can create cars and their engines in mind-boggling detail.

7. Almost infinite options give the player all the creative freedom to create unique cars with vastly different engines.

8. The grand campaign will start in the year 1946 and run until 2020, with the main goal being to build a successful, renowned car company from scratch.

9. The player’s tasks are to design engines and cars, to manage factories, production, Research and Development, as well as advertising campaigns.

10. Automation will allow the player to become an armchair CEO - to build their own car company from the ground up.

11. Currently the Lite Campaign is only available the legacy Non-Unreal version, but we're hard at work making a new improved Campaign mode.
