What's automation?
A game where you build cars, basically. You can select various body types, select an engine (Currently available I4, I6, V6, V8, flathead V8), suspension, and interior. Then your car gets rated! Isn't that fun!
That's...it?
Right now, yeah. Here are some planned features, that are not yet in the game. Thank automation forums poster "Zeussy"
code:Inline 3 Engine
Inline 5 Engine
V10
V12
CVT
Syncro and nonsynchro transmissions
Variable Cargo space
Multiplayer
Tycoon portion of game (Build a car people want)
AI Car Companies
---What might come in after release---
W8,W12,W16,W18
Diesels
Hybrids
Electrics
What can you put in cars?
Well, you have to setup the chassis, body, frame, suspension, exterior, then you have to get to the down and dirty with the engine, setting up valve timing, etc. It's a good time! You have to adjust against things like valve float, or engine knocking by modifying your rev limiter, and how much your engine compresses. For the specific unlock dates (You can choose to hamstring yourself if you wish by selecting any date from 1940 to 2020), check this list, which was assembled by Mason148 on the automation forums, thanks Mason!

This OP is boring
Agreed! Here's some screenshots.
Designing the basics of a car
Let's see here
Engines are hard
Dicking with the suspension
It's...not a good engine
How is this game when it comes to polish?
Well, there's glitches, and you can make some V8s faster than a Bugatti Veyron, but it's a small team, and every week or so they post updates on their youtube channel, here
How big is the devteam?
I can't find out. It's small. Please support them, it's worth at least two hours of fun!
