Update Speculation thread

There is one static car thing in the game but its abandoned and rusty so if something like a junkyard was added then this car would be there. I think its somewhere in the industrial site.

 

i cant wait to see how to do this island actually, as when i was poking around literally making the [beamng] world a brighter place, i saw that they seem to have just stuck a tunnel on the end as a placeholder, so i wonder where the exits and such will go... will there even be a tunnel in the future?

 

You have a good point. I was thinking that the Jargl DT825 could've ended up being similar to the Volvo PV444/544, due to how similar their names are.

 

This is random but after the full version is realeased will this thread become dead?

 

as if the full version will ever be released

 

Probably. Unless they continue to provide new content and whatnot.

Tdev said in an interview that he's expecting the game to be completed at some point.

 

To qoute Nadeox1 in one of my threads:

 

I don't put a lot of stake in that theory, to be honest. Performance issues aside, the game would have to support two terrain objects being simultaneously simulated for new parts of the map to be added outside of the current terrain, and it's impossible* to expand a terrain that's already been established.

*One could export the terrain heightmap and import it again with changes made in external programs, but that would almost certainly add unwanted artifacting.

 

i've done two terrain objects before (or at least tried), and it seemed to work well enough... two .ter files though...

then again, maybe this terrain is unfinished, like how the island is just a mesh, and both (the backdrop mesh for the mountains and the island) will be removed & replaced with full terrains, including replacing the preexisting one, in the future with a finished version of WCUSA?

(I'm basically saying, in case my gibberish was too unintelligent to be legible, that maybe the terrain will be replaced with a complete one in the future once the whole map is done?)

 

I Wonder About The Bluebuck And Wendover, They Have Not Been Worked On In A While. Well, The Wendover Hasn't. For The Bluebuck, It Has Not Been Put Off Hold. But, Hopefully The Bluebuck Gets Put Off Hold. And Hopefully The Wendover Gets Worked On.

 

What I think is that the Bluebuck will be realeased in 0.1X and the Wendover on 0.1X.0X.
(Example: Covet= 0.3, Pigeon= 0.3.2)

 

And clearly your typing hasn't ever been worked on. Type normally if you want to be taken seriously.

Also, there's no indication as to the status of either of those cars, for all we know the devs could be close to finishing both of them.

 

we've had cars pop out of nowhere before, (eg. the bus that literally just happened), it can happen again!

also, just a note, i recommend not Typing In All Caps For The First Letter Like So, it makes you seem unintelligent... i know this from personal experience

 

Inside the career mode promises I belive that they were 'demolition derbies' and other things. A question is that because of all the different options will they like take weeks at a time writing lines for characters? Also it would be cool to see a character selector/maker.

 

I suppose that all comes down to the eventual relationship/similarity/contrasts that exist between the story campaigns and the career mode. It's not yet been made clear whether A Rocky Start is the first of a series of story-driven campaigns that will run alongside a career, simply a tutorial that segues directly into a career with no characters or scripted narrative, or something somewhere in between the two.

I'm doubtful that they'd include a character maker or selector. That being said, they will eventually need to make the comics include conditional elements, so that the player's car is represented regardless of which type it is (supposing that the comics will continue to show the player's car, or that there will be comics altogether).

 

I think I heard somewhere a dev said that a rocky start is like a preview of career mode.

 

Will career mode possibly have modded cars and configs inside dealerships?

 

i hope so! a purchasing & customization system seems like a pretty necessary inclusion to a driving game!

 

Well, purchasing and repairs were confirmed way back in the Steam Greenlight video, but I don't know if mods could work their way into the system. I imagine they would if they were set up properly with values and descriptions.

 

Well I mean mods like extra parts and stuff. I mean inside the dealerships they would be:" D-series with turbo, and an oldsmobile 1980 regency".
