Comment what you think about the physics of the beamng drive, and also the gameplay of the game in general, including the steering wheel, which I haven’t used yet.
I QA tested Carmageddon when I worked at Interplay oh so many years ago. It was one of the only games I worked on that I could still play for fun after. I think I still have my boxed copy.
For me it was pretty great. I was young, did not have many expenses and enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and weird people. Play testing games got old really quick and it was rare that any game could continue to be fun after “playing” it all day every day. Carmaggedon was one of those few. It was not even a priority as it was part of a package deal that Interplay would publish it along with some other utterly forgettable game.
Brian, the owner of the company, took notice of it when he came to QA one day and found a bunch of us playing a LAN game when we were supposed to be working on other titles. After a few years of game testing I was kind of burned out and was going to quit but got hired into the IT dept. Here I am almost 25 yrs later still doing IT, though not in the very volatile games business.
That’s amazing, thanks for telling. I guess you’re partly responsible for my career in game dev and the pitch black humor my friends must endure.
Hey maybe if you ever have a problem with a server or something you can destroy it with your car.
I’ve looked up swiv 3d. It looks super bland and unexciting. I can imagine getting burned out from that. The predecessor looks better. I used to play tyrion 2000 as a kid.
Why not make a new Carmageddon

BeamNG is a blast. Utterly unforgiving.
The first one? I played it as a kid and it introduced me to metal and American football. I also liked that it had a female driver.
What was it like? What was the company culture?

No regrets, it worked out well for me.
