Genre: Roadtrip Adventure

Quote:
Navigate miles and miles of tyre changing, fuel burning, carburettor busting, mud clattering terrain, through night and day, rain and shine. Adapt to whatever the procedurally generated world of Jalopy can throw at you.

Upgrade, maintain and care for your Laika 601 Deluxe motor vehicle. Keep close attention to everything from the state of your tyres, the condition of your engine and even the space in your trunk. Repair each aspect of your scrappy little car and install unique upgrades to deal with the changing world. Everything from cargo weight to the condition of your carburettor will determine how your car performs on the open road.

The rise of capitalism brings an economical conundrum. Scavenge for scraps to make a small return of investment, or become a baron of the open road and smuggle contraband under the eyes of border patrols to make a sizable profit.

Developer Greg Pryjmachuk worked on the Formula 1 franchise from 2009 through to 2014. In late 2014, Greg began work on this new driving simulation featuring the fictional Laika 601 Deluxe car; reminiscent of the East German “Trabbie”, it will need much love and care to keep it going on this memorable road trip!


Quote:
How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?
“In Early Access you will be able to drive, explore and trade throughout Germany & the CSFR. Already, the player can make changes to their vehicle with millions of combinations available to affect vehicle performance. As we progress through Early Access we plan to let the player drive through 1990’s renditions of Hungary, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria and Turkey. Early Access will be an insight into the core mechanics of Jalopy and from here we plan to build around this core with feedback from the community.”

Very nice man.
How long he had to wait to get them delivered? Or he bought them used?

This must be made for middle-aged males in Germany and eastern Europe trying to relive their youth with the very affordable and very boring eastern Germany-made Trabant.

Oh man....

I bet it SELLS well due to the spread of all these american car customization/restoration shows about rebuilding a piece of junk from the 50'ies and sell it for $70,000 (Counting Cars, Monster Garage, Graveyard Carz and so on).

I hated the controls in That Summer Car, it's one of those games you wish for VR and some kind of gloves that translate our hand movements in game.

Other than that, pretty cool. Was rather surprised how far they went with it. Thought it to be one of those shallow joke games.
