Seeing as theres a new achievement in the game named "NEW_ACHIEVEMENT_NAME_2_5" with a bus pictured, could this hint for a bus to arrive sooner or upcoming?
I love it when the devs to unexpected things to the game... Unless they added people, that would be freaky and weird... The game is vehicles and vehicles only, (well and props)
According to google translate: "Remer simulate amazing real accidents From editorial staff Sports cars that race in trucks, buses that fall down a slope and other spectacular stunts: The Bremen-based company BeamNG has developed a computer game in which accidents look amazingly real. By Insa Lohmann The fan base of the game BeamNG.drive is now as international as it is big: more than 600,000 players have bought the computer game from Bremen so far. But the young start-up does not want to be a mere game developer, but relies on cooperation with industry and research. "We see ourselves more at home in physics than in the games industry," says co-founder Thomas Fischer. Several million euros Umstaz Together with three colleagues, the current Managing Director of BeamNG 2012 released a first video of his racing game on Youtube. "Overnight we had a million clicks," recalls Fischer, who began during the study with the development. "That's when I knew: that has potential." The game is distributed exclusively via the online platform Steam. More than half a million customers have purchased a license from BeamNG.drive in the past five years. The computer game from Bremen costs $ 25, which means that the young start-up has made several million sales since 2012, according to its own statements. "We have completely reinvested in the company." The game is not yet available as a full version. Regular updates should keep the players happy. Fischer expects that it can be completed this year or next. Realism through physics There are now 36 employees working for the Bremen-based company, with a majority in the USA, Spain and Australia. In the development of the game, BeamNG relies on a team of specialists for different areas: graphic designers designing landscapes and buildings, 3D specialists who look after plastic effects and, of course, programmers. Even a car mechanic from Australia is there, who ensures that the driving behavior of the tires is depicted as realistic as possible. But what happens in the program, is not based solely on the imagination of the team. Based on physical laws, BeamNG software calculates how each part of the car reacts to external influences. For example, the software can also independently calculate which components will be particularly heavily deformed in the event of a crash. Cooperation with Audi Aside from classic computer games, BeamNG founder Fischer sees additional business segments for the us more as a development company. "With the physical calculations, the young company wants to support research and industry in the future. First prospects from the automotive industry already exist. For example, the start-up with the automobile manufacturer Audi has already initiated a project in the field of autonomous driving. BeamNG software is designed to help detect objects on the road better and faster."
