We hope to expand the number of simultaneous vehicles possible to at least 8 with a mid-range processor. Each vehicle has around 400 nodes and 4000 beams, all being simulated 2000 times per second. Right now you can run 4 to 6 cars at one time on a high end quad-core processor. The future of the game and our physics engineĪs we optimize our game and computer technology improves, the amount of vehicles which can be simultaneously simulated at a smooth framerate will increase. drive gives you the gameplay you want, and doesn’t force you to do anything that you don’t think is fun or interesting. You can mod those same vehicles to be racing beasts, derby monsters, or off-road behemoths – or just thrash them stock. You can go off-roading in a family sedan or hurl a delivery truck around a racing circuit, all with beautiful soft-body simulation physics.

drive is about doing anything you want with a car or truck – the stuff other games don’t let you do. Eventually we would like to have some kind of single player open world career mode, with persistent vehicle ownership and procedurally generated used vehicles to buy and events to run them in.

There are a lot of different types of gameplay we want to implement beyond just racing and crashing, such as police chases, stunt challenges, and other specialized minigames. The vehicle customization and detail will allow you to make your car or truck all your own – fix it up, upgrade it, or strip away body panels to reduce weight. drive will cover a large array of vehicular disciplines – everything from a delivery mission in a box truck to a high speed rally race or a destruction derby. drive the game for you?Īs an open world vehicle simulator, BeamNG. drive the ultimate driving experience and discover what an open and uncompromising soft-body vehicle simulator can be.
