C.A.R.S. = Community Assisted Race Sim.
The game will be funded by and developed in close cooperation with the (sim) racing / gaming community. People can invest an amount of money up-front, entitling them to receiving profit and taking part in testing of weekly game builds.
Depending on the magnitude of his/her investment, an investor has a bigger or smaller voice in what content will get into the game. The game starts as a base game with a few cars and tracks, and will be expanded from there depending on what the community decides.

The game will be free-to-play, with paid extra content (microtransactions).

C.A.R.S will be used the stripped-down Shift 2 Unleashed engine as starting point, as the team will be adding new modules to it during the course of the development process, including a new DirectX 11 renderer, a new physics engine and new AI. Slightly Mad Studios expect a development cycle of at least 12 months until the finished product is ready, however all investors will be getting access to development builds throughout the process to keep everyone entertained.

:eek: :heart: :heart: :heart:

Looks good! The Graphics look like they are coming along nicely. Thats probably the best version of watkins glen that ive seen.
 
I like the idea of using share holders/investers as gamers to make real decisions on the game, rather than a publisher. I really hope this works out well!!
 
I invested two days ago. Gone for the €25 option, so I apparently get the weekly builds. Will it be a success? Who knows, if it all goes tits up then ive only "lost" £22.
 
:eek: for a stripped-down engine that looks impressive, I like the whole Community Assisted development it means less time is spent trying to turn a profit and more time on quality.
 
Holy monkey **** that looks good. I don't like this kind of racing but I may try it anyway.
 
I am still suffering with chronic input lag with my wheel. Tried the latest build "073" and its perhaps a touch better, but its still really laggy. I can't really comment on the handling because the wheel lag is so bad.
