Automation Download PC

Automation is a video game from Camshaft Software for Microsoft Windows that allows the player to create and run a virtual car company and design vehicles to sell. It is currently available via Steam.

Gameplay

The game, currently still in development, allows design, creation and testing of various vehicle platforms along with creating custom drivetrains. More features will become available closer to the official 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. In April 2015, pre-orders reached 25,000.

Unreal Engine 4

On May 25, 2017, the first version of Automation within Unreal Engine 4 was released into the public open beta version of the game, having succeeded (but not replaced) the previous version. It included a host of new content and features, including a more robust paint system, more engine blocks, and most importantly, a significant graphical update.

The previous version of the game, which was built in Camshaft Software's own Kee Engine, has been abandoned in terms of updates but is still playable due to demand among players with low-spec computers.
