Automation is an upcoming video game from Camshaft Software for Microsoft Windows that allows the player to create a virtual car company complete with products (vehicles).[1]
The game currently in development allows design, creation and testing of various vehicle platforms along with creating custom drivetrains. More features will become available closer to full release date.
There are three components to the game: engine design, car design, and a tycoon simulator. The engine design component was released first in order to drive demand for pre-orders and fund the development of the rest of the game. As of April 2014, it had sold 10,000 pre-orders.[2] In April 2015, pre-orders reached 25,000. It is available as a standalone application and via Steam.[3]
