Update Speculation thread

well not at all, in example for offroad tyres, not adaptable to every rim, I'd like to see thato for every rim 15x7 I could use the compatible size tires. Said that, mine is not a critic but only a desire, I love this game so much, and I paid for it just when I discovered it

 

I missed 6 pages of stuff and I don't feel like looking through it all. I did see a new shot of the bus though, and it looks great! So what's a rundown of stuff that's happened recently?

 

Tdev said that 1.0 will come within the next year/two

 

What? That's crazy at this rate! There are still so many things that need to be done (IMO and dev-stated), and the year is 1/4 through already. I thought this game was never going to be truly finished, with the vastness of the physics engine allowing anything to be possible. I guess I was wrong.

 

"Fischer expects that it can be completed this year or next."

 

But when finished it is just a platform, community can extend it in pretty much every way possible and maybe with time people will learn how to add features etc. There are many other games where community has added features even it was thought not to be possible, games were not designed for that, but with Beam it is possible to add pretty much anything if you know Lua and JS.

 

I zoommed in on the front of the bus.

 

Not very likely, since they're still accepting applications for a 2d concept artist: https://beamng.gmbh/career/#toggle-id-1

 

My name guesses for the bus:

Spoiler

Moriwano
Morywano
Moniwano
Monywano
Moniwand
Monywand
Moriwand
Morywand
Monvwand
Manwand
Man & Wand
MSR \/ Wand
MSN \/ Wand

 

where do you find the pictures of the bus and stuff?

 

Morrowind

My 50 cents to the subject of finishing .drive this year or next. Well it's just for press to keep good PR for guys like Audi or that german institute for AI - BeamNG may get good sources of extremely important data or/and financial help from them too. We all are sure that BeamNG will not be completed this year. Thomas did this PR move not for a first time, but he don't like this vid to be published, so I'll not say where to look for it, but few years ago in that vid it was "estimated" that BeamNG would be in 1.0 version IIRC in march 2016.

But to be honest late 2019 is pretty possible.

 

I think it's Westward.

What is that website? How do they have a picture of the bus?

 

It's a German news site. They interviewed tdev.

 

you go beamNG developers! look back on what you have done, and fell accomplished! you've got a more or less cherishing fan base, a lovely game, and a partnership with audi to prove it. be proud you guys, you've earned it!

 

I don't think so, the second letter looks like an "I", and there isn't enough space between the "W" and "S" for an "E"

The best interpretation I can come up with is wis ... ... wand. Cannot make out the middle two letters for the life of me.

We'll probably all be wrong though.

 

Oh yes, it doesn't get better than this, coming home and finding the reveal of a new vehicle. Except maybe coming home to an update...

To me, the first few letters of the name look like "MSA," but it doesn't matter. We can tell by looking at it that it is a new brand, and the devs will probably give us a name soon enough.

 

the bus name seems to start with a W instead of an M.

 

So does this mean theoretically BeamNG.drive could have some of the best AI in any racing game? (Credit: Google Translate and the above website)
