Update Speculation thread

I didn't think there were many xenophobes and homophobes in the community.

 

How about we not turn this thread into an LGBTQ discussion and get it locked. @minivanlover11 said something unnecessary and off-topic that could have easily been ignored but you guys are making a big stink over it.

 

alright moving on.
What does the community envision for 0.29 till say 0.35~?
Currently backend for rendering is getting a rework so we might see more graphical updates in the future, just dont expect it soon? (e.g Vulkan)
Currently no more physics/cpu performance gains, might change with the graphical update as the load might lighten or remain the same or just becomes more demanding (usually the same and the latter)
Within 0.29 to 0.35, what other new/remake vehicles is everyone looking forward to?

 

I knew it would be deleted lol, kinda offensive post

T series remaster is definitely coming, I’d say 0.30-32, if we even get those, might be beta or release by then.
I’d say the beta phase lasts 1-2 years, with content focus (cars and maps) and few QoL improvements. The full ish career will probs mark the beta release, and when the story is all perfect, release 1.0 then the content packs (free) with new exciting content, features, and graphics improvements

 

good idea.. but dont remove posts that arent homophobic please

 

It was all off topic anyway

 

my hope is for further optimisation/performance improvements (although 0.28 did a huge job improving performance, i don't have to whine incessantly about amd running bad anymore), as well as more work going into maybe getting career mode into a state good enough for an official release aside from the 6-click easter egg
i guess getting all vehicles up to the current quality standard will be happening soon anyway since there are only a few cars that need substantial work, i could see more unfilled niches getting filled in too regarding new content (the minivan we're getting, maybe some more heavy duty vehicles later down the line ala rigs of rods and some other unexplored categories like interwar (20s-40s) cars, a 50s/60s sports car like what people believe the fulmine might've been, etc)
i'm hoping more improvements to the physics are on the list too, everyone including myself wants tire thermals obviously but i feel like that would come alongside a general revamp of the tire model too, also i'd personally hope for improvements to how the brakes are modelled since they've always been a little too prone to locking up but there could be a bunch of other factors in there like default car setups or other models needing more work

 

I wouldn't be surprised if developers don't update very old ages vehicles in the short time.（But I still hope that developers will update them.(￢д￢。)）
Indeed, many other contents in the game now need further work, such as new cars, career models and various physical updates.These are the contents that need to be further expanded, but the developer's energy is limited, and it is impossible to expand the new content of the game while remaster the old vehicle in a short time.
Therefore, the work planning of developers is very important. I hope that developers can put down the old game content in a short time and innovate and develop the game, because there are too many exciting unfinished new content.
Well,this is my opinion!

 

Budget sports cars are something beamng needs more of as well, late 80’s to 90’s muscle and some kind of small lightweight sportscar would really help to fill some more gaps in beams car list

 

They will. Most vehicle have gotten a remaster/remake. just a matter of when.
T-Series isnt getting any yet because one of devs said all the proportions were wrong, so its just waiting until they redesign the whole vehicle. I would assume the devs made the vehicles in the very early stages as placeholder just to move on with the project then refocus on them.

 

Speaking of which, I wonder how much mod content affects the devs' priorities. Like, everybody would love a 200BX remaster, but at the same time, it's probably the second most modded car right after the D-Series – and remastering it would require at least some adjustments to the mods.

Take Covet remaster and KLJP, even though it looks more or less the same, it still required quite a lot of work to get the modded stuff working again (put aside extra stuff they were cooking). What if the devs are delaying cars like 200BX or Sunburst on purpose?

This post was brought to you by a Sunburst remaster hopium addict.

 

Yeah! Those old cars have always been there, and developers can completely decide the time of remaster these old cars.They will always do it.

 

While we're here, it seemed like they were gonna standardize the car folder name to the car name (hatch > covet, super > bolide) but they named the dunekicker "racetruck" and the wydra "atv", kinda odd

 

And IIRC (it might have been on one of the livestreams) one of the devs mentioned the wydra's mesh had been sitting around for 2 or 3 years on a hard drive before they got around to jbeaming it.
It kind of makes me wonder how long some cars actually took from an initial idea, to a rough mesh, to an in-game prototype.

 

Easily years to a decade for some. Keeping in mind even before they made the BeamNG game there are likely features they are still trying to implement that they conceptualized in the Rigs of Rods era

 

It takes several times more energy than other racing games.BeamNG's unique authenticity is destined to make vehicles look like real vehicles.Forza and Gran turismo only need to make the car look real from the outside. They won't make the internal structure of the car, but BeamNG must have it, and it should be as real as possible.There is also the softbody physics engine of this game, which also requires BeamNG's vehicles to have far better physical effects than other games. All these require developers to work hard several times.

It is amazing that developers can make more than two cars in one year.

 

I asked from Сhat GPT so that he comes up with a name for minivan based on an existing brand and that's what he said:

"Minivan for BeamNG Drive with the name "Sunburst MPV". Sunburst is an existing brand in the game, so its "MPV" model is a calm, comfortable and spacious minivan. It is designed to carry a large family and has a large passenger capacity. Main Features: - Engine: 1.8-liter, 138 hp and 210 Nm of torque. - Transmission: 5-speed manual. - Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h: 10.5 seconds. - Maximum speed: 180 km/h . - Appearance: fresh and modern design, combining smooth lines and streamlined shapes. - Body: spacious interior for a family of 6-7 people, large trunk, secure systems and many other useful functions. The Sunburst MPV is a versatile and reliable minivan for family trips. It has a lot of space for passengers and luggage, and also has a high level of safety and comfort. At the same time, it remains economical in fuel consumption and easy to maintain."
