    Hey! I'm still fairly new to the game but loving it so far. I love creating tracks, mini-games and maps in general and have been doing it for decades now and have contributed to the development and creations of Trackmania and Trials.

    First thing I notice about this game is that most people don't know what it is. The name doesn't really draw people in and is confusing until you know what it means. I have lots of friends who love driving games but had no idea that's what BeamNG was. (the more recent .drive does help though) I hope at time of full release the name might be revised a bit to let people know what it is. I really think this will have a huge impact on sales.

    The main things I'd like to see in the near future is a bit more focus on getting the current aspects of the game and World Editor working smoothly. I LOVE the World Editor, but it can be a challenge to work with at times not knowing what's bugged or just not finished. Some things are listed under "Experimental" but it's hard to tell with some things if I'm doing something wrong or if it's just something not finished yet. I know there is still a lot of dev work to do as the game is still in Alpha.

    Another thing I'd love to see is all the various Road and Track editors consolidated into one entity. Right now there is a Track Editor, Road Decal Editor, Road Architect & a Mesh Road Editor. I know these are quite different things, but all tools for road creation and a little confusing to someone new to the game.

    A last wish for now (I have lots of ideas) is to have some "official" tutorial videos. I know it would take some extra resources to create and update tutorials with each game update, but it would really help people to more quickly jump into new aspects as they are being created for the game. Everyone who currently owns a copy of the game is, in essence, an Alpha/Beta tester... and helping us should help you (the developers).

    Great game by the way. I'm amazed at how much is in this and am very much looking forward to the future developments!
