    Hi everyone!

    As you might have noticed, the update seems delayed, and yes, it is and will be.
    Over the years we tackled all the easy problems to work on, now only the hard ones remain.

    Please give us some more time to do some proper development on things that need work in the background.

    Do not expect a super huge update, most of the work is in the background and is creating the foundation for amazing features in the future :)

    With that being said, lets drink some coffee together, feel free to Ask Me Anything :)

    Thanks for being an amazing community and supporting us all these years!

    If you wonder what the code in the background is doing, it's a nicer banner for our little console application :)
    Code:
        return
            "][  ____                       _   _  _____      _      _           \n"
            "][ |  _ \\                     | \\ | |/ ____|    | |    (_)          \n"
            "][ | |_) | ___  __ _ _ __ ___ |  \\| | |  __   __| |_ __ ___   _____ \n"
            "][ |  _ < / _ \\/ _` | '_ ` _ \\| . ` | | |_ | / _` | '__| \\ \\ / / _ \\\n"
            "][ | |_) |  __/ (_| | | | | | | |\\  | |__| || (_| | |  | |\\ V /  __/\n"
            "][ |____/ \\___|\\__,_|_| |_| |_|_| \\_|\\____(_)__,_|_|  |_| \\_/ \\___| \n"
            "][                                                                  \n";

    Ahhh, sounds sad, but I am optimistic!!!
    Will you ever remaster some old cars? And about maps, have you planned something about Italy and ECUSA? Not going to seem begger or intrusive, just curiosity, as I love these maps and old cars (like I-Series, Moonhawk, Burnside and Miramar). About features, will you include maybe animated wipers or default rain option for maps? Or will this remain a feature to add with World Editor?


    I am so excited, but I'll wait patiently!! Keep your time and good job guys, you're making this game perfect!!!! Super congratulations!!!

    Understandable. Thanks for being the best developers by being transparent and honest with us. I would rather wait longer for something that is finished.

    I’m excited for what new features we can expect in the future. Could this mean we are closer to getting the long awaited tire thermal update, weather, ground deformation, scratches, ropes/winches?

    For me it’s good news! As a software developer I know how important it is to have a solid foundation. But please keep us informed early on breaking changes. I’m very selfish because I’m building a map right now :rolleyes:

    Tdev, can you share a little sneak peek what this foundation will let you do and stuff ?:rolleyes:
    Also, don't feel rushed by everyone, take your time, we all have patience.
    And, final question, will the beam mugs you have ever be on sale? (kind of a joke question, but they look cool:cool:)

    No BeamNG mug?

    It's crazy to see how far BeamNG has come in these past 11 years :D !

    I’m glad the update cycle is being slowed down- it’s always been a bit concerning how short it was…

    I’ve noticed that this link leads to an interesting page:
    https://shop.beamng.com/
    Any more info on this? It’d be awesome to be able to directly support BeamNG.

    Shame, would’ve loved me a Beam cup.

    I’d never say no to more coffee :D

    Yup still around, others from the same era too! Just not posting much. < 3

    What makes the game last longer ( aka pushing update back to work on stuff ) is s good thing :)

    With this being said.

    is there any plans to add ( or remaster ) any of the pre 1980s car.

    I.E add a moonhawk sedan?

    Or any type of classic car stuff. :)

    have you guys ever thought of doing 3 updates a year instead of 4? since the scope and amount of things that developing has increased, it sometimes looks as if you guys run out of time on the updates (with there being some stuff like the engines in the bx and etk not being as polished as i imagine you guys would like to) i also see people dissapointed because of the lack of content in updates, having 1 less update would allow to have more and better content.

    Good things come to those who wait :)
    Rushing something and going in a burnout never does anything good in the long run
