Development screenshots #1 [Closed]

Or the way YBR names it. Gravl(e) or Gravil

 

as I played the game first time I ever read grabbel (grand marshal etc) and thought the covet was a chrovette xD. my friend always said, the grandmarshal is the car for our germanteacher (slow,stupid,large xD)

 

Haha In fact my german teacher is driving an audi A7. It´s large but does it count as stupid and slow ?? Nah I dont think so

 

Wow now we need a same Era bruckell to compete. Moonhawk is a little bit out of the Era the Barstow is

 

why?
the moonhawk will be at most 6 years newer than the Barstool.
The Moonhawk being out of the Barstow's league is more a case of unibody midsize sportscar vs. a bof fullsize luxury two-door sedan.

 

its the link from the r to the i thats wrong

 

The Moonhawk will be close to 10 years newer than the barstow, and in that 10 years the American car industry changed immensely.
If the devs introduce a late-70s version of the Barstow it'd be really similar to the Moonhawk. Probably a bit smaller though.

 

I don't know how you find the "Gavril" so difficult to read. It's just basic cursive text really.


@Potato Barstow is 69-71 and Moonhawk is 73-75/76-78 depending on if it's facelifted or not. Also Barstow is semi-unibody (separate front subframe) where Moonhawk has completely separate frame. Also it's a quite a bit smaller actually, not just a bit

 

Think of it as someone writing their name, everyone has their own flair. I, for instance, ensure that you can only read a "C" and a "P" when I sign with a signature. Also remember that "Gavril" is a Macedonian/Romanian spelling of Gabriel, so it can be thought of as the companies owner writing their first name.

 

Yeah, but what is that bit under the spin doing there?
Yes, i know it looks kinda weird with that empty space, but many times more readable.


Yeah i suppose that if you think about it, it makes sense, but without it it is more readable on the first sight.

 

@Atomix Maybe seeing the "r" separate makes more sense:

 

huh, being someone forced to write in cursive until the 7th grade, I don't recall ever seeing a "r" written like that, but it does make sense once you have it shown.
Still, weird.

 

The Moonhawk is a considerably newer car than the Barstow, And One is a pony car while the other is a Mid-size. But the stock Barstow would still beat a stock Moonhawk, as the Moonhawk is from a time when the everything was being strangled with catalytic converters, unleaded fuel, and low compression ratios, while the Barstow would have no cats, run on leaded fuel, and had a much higher compression ratio.

Lets compare a 66 Plymouth Barracuda, and a 76 Chevy Chevelle, The Chevelle is a bigger car, a mid-size with a proper frame and a big block, While the Barracuda was a much smaller compact, with a unibody only one V8 option.
But while that Chevelle does have a 454, a mid 70's 454 Chevelle is rather wimpy compared to what it used to be, Where a 70 454 SS car would have an advertised 450 HP (But in reality be even higher) a 76 454 SS would be lucky to hit 250 HP. And that Barracuda would only have a little 273, it would be somewhere in the low 200HP range, and could hold its own to that mid 70's 454 SS Chevelle. And walk all over a lower model Chevelle.

 

Yeah, doesn't really make sense when written after "v" like that but it works just fine like that. I'm trusting on the guy who created that font

 

Maybe because in different regions they write the letters quite different. We actually would write that different here as well, but I wouldn't say it's not understandable.

 

Well yeah, the late 60s Barstow is quite a bit smaller than the mid-late 70s Moonhawk. The Barstow has yet to be molested by malaise styling.
I'm saying the Barstow would grow to be not much smaller than the Moonhawk. There are tons of examples of small(relatively speaking here), nimble 60s muscle cars growing into huge wallowing behemoths by '75.

 

I agree with ya, Potato. I mean, WTF happened to car sizes in the late 1960s until the early 1970s?

 

It was just a period where us Americans kinda ran away with the "bigger is better" mentality. We picked a great time to do it, too; the emergence of smog and fuel regulations, which resulted in a bunch of underpowered smog-and-fuel-choked engines in pointlessly massive cars.
