A business simulation game all about cars. Build your own cars and change their design in the semi-free, integrated 3D Editor. Develop engines and stray from the concept of strict tech levels seen in other games: Your car consumes too much fuel? Why not improve your next engine's fuel efficiency. You car is too slow? Why not develop a more powerful engine? And if your car is the most advanced on the market it may even earn you some awards. Can you turn a profit with your car company? This game is available in a fully playable alpha version (not yet feature complete.)

Preface:
On a different note: Cars Incorporated is slowly advancing through the ranks at Steam Greenlight, these past few days it has been bouncing around between Top 60 and Top 90. So a possible release of the game on Steam isn't that far off anymore and it might just help to get the development budget together to speed things up in the future. So if you haven't done so already, please vote for Cars Inc on Steam Greenlight and help spread the word.
But now for the changes:
New Features
The options menu now has a new section called Internet setup that will allow you to control the online behavior of the game. If you allow the internet access and enter your user credentials from WildDuckGames.com (the same as they where on cars-inc-game.com), you can see your position in the highscore on the start screen and upload your score once you complete a game.
The highscores are also presented on the website. The game shows 3 ranks for now, the website 10 in the sidebar or 50 on the highscore page. Right now this list is of course fairly short since it only has some data from old Inner Circle tests. Let's see it fill up!
Other Changes
- The Facebook share button on the cars page has been restored
- The endgame screen is now able to up- and download highscore data
- The new option "Allow online functionality" can enable or disable all online interactions - including the automatic update
- The auto update has been redirected to the Wild Duck Games homepage - v0.36 will find the update to v0.40 once available
Fixed bugs
- Fixed a bug that caused the improve functions for chassis to produce very bad results over time.
Scripting
- The new variable $online_rank will return the rank of the player in the online highscore
As always the update is already available for download. However older versions will not see this update as their update functions still points to cars-inc-game.com.

So now that you're moving to Unity in .4 will this be available on mobile devices? Seems like a great fit for the mobile market IMO =)
Haven't seen you in a while ^^
The platform flexibility is one of the reasons I am going with Unity. v0.40 will be available for Linux as well. I intend to also do a Mac release with a later version but will need an appropriate machine for that.
I will certainly also evaluate mobile devices, but I can see several potential problems. All the information given in the game might end up to tiny on smartphones, so it might only work right on tablets or with it's own UI version. I'm also not sure if mobile devices can calculate the geometry the car designer produces fast enough to allow for real time shaping of the cars and if said realtime shaping works smooth enough with a touch interface.
The chances for mobile versions are probably around 50:50 at this point. Which is a lot more than the 0 it had with Dark Basic ;-)
It looks very good
It's a really good idea, and the demo was fun. Just really short. To be honest though I know nothing of cars, and found it confusing, but enjoyable. (:
It's really refreshing to see someone have an interest in these kind of cars for their game. Especially with the amount detailed data for each car.
