Hello again, We have another small update for you this week. The next update should be around December 11th. Unless I run into a big enough issue to waste a day putting together an update. Here is what's in Version 1.25.0.3: -Bugfix: Fixed disappearing Auto Production Restriction List -GUI: Tutorial windows should no longer overlap the subject window on large resolution screens. -GUI: Automatically close tutorial popup if the subject window is closed. -Gameplay: Rebalanced AI production to more heavily favor popular vehicle types. May need to rework low end however, to make sure monopolies are rare in unpopular vehicle types. -Engine: Disabled Windows "Not Responding" Ghosting. Added many more message pumps. I will revisit this decision after some testing/feedback. -Bugfix: Fixed missing vehicle name in the smallest engine superlatives. -Bugfix: Fixed several possible issues with the component selection system in R&D. -Bugfix: Fixed contract issues with racing, which causes race teams not to be supplied. -Bugfix: Fixed year values for Design Skills calculations. It was using 8 instead of 5. -Bugfix: Hopefully fixed racing contract date deadlines... again... third try is a charm? -Gameplay: Selling assets or your own shares will no longer grant you revenue achievements. -Bugfix: Fixed issue with pre-designed vehicles surface area calculations causing incorrect data. Probably a few more things I missed.

Have you ever dreamed of running your own car company? Do you often find yourself drawing vehicle designs on the margins of your papers? Ever wondered what it would be like to be the next Henry Ford or Enzo Ferrari? Now you can with GearCity.

GearCity is an Automobile Manufacturing Business Simulator. Design chassis, engines, transmissions, and vehicles. Manage production lines, supplies, prices, and employees. Build factories and distribution branches. Set marketing and racing budgets, and most importantly stay profitable. All while hundreds of AI marques attempt to do the same thing.

GearCity offers a wide variety of design choices and near endless amounts of freedom when running your company. Do you want to make a pickup truck marque in Africa? A Russian supercar company? A German luxury brand? Maybe you want to be a generic marque in America? Or a budget car company in China? Let your imagination free and choose your own path.

Armed with a realistic economic simulator with historical purchasing power parity per capita, population, and economic data for over 250 cities, GearCity aims to be a hardcore realistic business simulator. This is not a typical casual tycoon game. Instead GearCity is a modern descendant of the classic 90s management games Detroit and MotorCity. Despite the fidelity of the simulation, once you get the hang of the game it is fairly simple and easy to play. You can choose a more abstract style, or dive deep and micromanage every detail.

GearCity currently offers:
120 Years (1440 Months/Turns) of gameplay.
274 Cities with historical economic and population data.
300 Marques inspired by real companies.
