It's crazy how I've had this game for 7 years and I still play it consistently, I bought a better PC just to play this game, that's how much I love it. BeamNG has to be one, if not, the best game I've ever played ever, love it to bits.

[@BeamDriver]

I think Beam has one of, if not the best developers out there, because they listen to the players, and update the game constantly (and that's for almost 11 years now).

[@Psyrenix]

@@BeamDriver I am always so excited for new updates because they are always so creative with it. Not only do they add things the community ask for but also add things we didn't even know we wanted! I think they are THE best game development team out there.

[@YannickBo]

I'm thinking about upgrading my PC as well solely because of BeamNG, everything else runs fine but BeamNG with a few hundred mods, driving on a huge map with traffic makes even a super computer drop to 10 FPS

[@YannickBo]

@@BeamDriver In my opinion them providing all the updates for free is huge. Other companies would have turned them into DLCs

[@Psyrenix]

@@YannickBo a great place to start is getting a better CPU, I'm not sure if you knew but BeamNG is a very CPU-heavy game, and the more threads you have the more cars it can handle

[@party4lifedude]

It went from a fun addictive time waster where you crash a blue truck with realistic physics into a monochrome cube, and it evolved into one of my most favorite games. I bought a PC racing wheel just for BeamNG. I love that the game is continually updated, and new and exciting things are always on the horizon for this game. It has been a pleasure to follow the development all these years. It's great that it was a game about crashing cars, and now one of the most fun things to do in the game is try not crash cars. I hope the continue development for another 10 years lol.

[@vinnieheinz6361]

I've been playing BeamNG since the tech demo came out, and I remember buying the game on steam, and putting countless hours into it on my Dell PC that could barely run it. In 2021 I finally built a gaming PC and could experience it to it's fullest. I'm so proud of the people at BeamNG. Watching this game grow over the years has been amazing. They did an amazing job.

[@K.A.R.R]

The first video game I ever played was GTA vice city, and the only reason I loved it at the time was that you could crash the cars. When I saw the tech demo in 2012 I was amazed at the level of realism! My grandmother bought me the paid alpha for my birthday in 2013 and I haven't stopped playing since. Props to the developers for keeping a decade old video game alive! That's something not a lot of studios can acheive.

[@randomdude.413]

I know automation has existed for a while now, but I appreciate that they made it because they made modding easy for people that don't want to install one or make their own. This is the exact opposite of what minecraft is doing right now with the October 5th update. What happened was they updated the game to a different game file or something like that and it made minecraft modding impossible without the marketplace, not to mention it deleted a bunch of minecraft world's. There was a free extension for minecraft bedrock that made it easy to import mods into the game. And because Microsoft is a greedy country the removed it from the Microsoft store. For the devs that bought beamng, thank you for not making the same mistakes as Microsoft and giving us this wonderful journey with this game.

Great progress, we are at version 0.27 now, which only took 7 years. If they keep up this crazy pace, it will only take 14 years until the game reaches version 1.0, which means it goes out of early access, and becomes a completed product. BeamNG devs are amazing!

Have you played beamng? Although it says early access it honestly may as well be finished to me

[@wheelwrightpl9429]

@@francoismurrell4604 Yes, I play it all the time, especially escaping from the cops on Italy map (you have to end up at the airport because this seems the only place where the cops don't spawn). When you combine it with customizing your own gateway cars, it is extremely addictive. I agree the cars are well made in BeamNG, but everything else is behind the technological curve. Also, there is no career mode or official multiplayer, so the game still needs a lot of time in the oven.

[@billywashere6965]

@@francoismurrell4604 There are a lot of similar complaints for games like Star Citizen. But I look at what games like BeamNG and SC offer at the moment, and you can't get those experiences in any other game on the market at the moment. Creating and R&D'ing groundbreaking new tech takes time, but the payoff is well worth it. I say BeamNG devs should take all the time they need, because as it stands now, BeamNG runs absolute circles around every other racing sim on the market (except for maybe Wreckfest).

​@@billywashere6965 You're very correct. These games are way too ambitious for an quick development and release like other average/shallow games on the market. They offer way more replayability value in their early access versions. Makes you imagine how insane they'd become at full release. Plus, BeamNG runs absolute circles around Wreckfest. Wreckfest is low level arcade game compared to Beam.

Especially after the racing wheel update they did a while back. I LOVE BeamNG!

I have know this game since it’s earliest stages (beta/alpha), from a very young age too. It evolved very much. Also everyone in my family knows about the game, and likes it! But yeah, I kind of miss the older BeamNG (the new one is good too, but man the nostalgia in the older versions, and old maps, cars and stuff) EDIT: also I think we have the original tech demo(s) in one of our computers, and we have an old version of the game too

[@possibleproblem479]

i remember in 2016 sometime, i was around 12-13 years old when i was actually thinking about making a game with a similar mechanic as the nodes and beams that beamng uses. at the time i had a magnet set. i cant remember the brand but it was basically a bunch of magnetic ball bearings and little sticks that would link up using the bearings as joints. i had thought about the idea of games using a similar mechanic to have more satisfying bending of metalic materials. these magents were one of my favorite toys along side legos of course. im not sure if youtube will let me link it but there are still sets you can buy today that are very similar. anyway i wanted to figure out how to make a game that used a similar idea to play around with. i didn't have a computer and my school was pretty rural and underfunded so they offered nothing in terms of computer sciences. then i found a whybeare video. it had autoplayed from a robocraft video that i was watching because i was super interested in realistic/satisfying destruction sandboxes. of course robocrafts much different now then it was at the time. but at first i didn't really think anything of it. he was just driving around in a d series and i didn't really get to see the actual physics. when he hit a wall with that truck i was thinking 'wow thats some really good crashing models. looks super realistic.' but the more i watched the more i realized that it wasn't just crashing models, it was a full on sim of an actual vehicle. this was the first and so far only game that i have seen a similar concept implemented. the fact that its so popular now and the devs have fleshed it out so much is amazing. now that i have a pc beamng has been one of my top 3 favorite games for years. its the literal embodiment of something that i had wanted for so long as a kid and actually found.

[@djclipbasslower2519]

been playing since alpha state, before BeamNG was on steam and let me just say, It's still my favorite game of all time. it seems every update they released since 2013, the game just got more and more realistic. I've been playing this game since alpha State, that's before it was on steam. Before BeamNG was on steam, they had their own proprietary launcher, and you had to buy the game from the website. When The devs moved BeamNG onto steam, I got an email with a product key for the steam version. The game has had so many updates since 2013, the first update I ever saw was the Ibishu 200BX. Back then The soft body physics were almost beyond state-of-the-art. And they are even more so today, as well as many of the additions to the physics of the game, like engine parts breaking, tires going flat, brake fade, etc. After a decade of playing this game, I am even more interested in playing it today than I was 10 years ago. Kudos to the developers of beamng, and thank you for 10 years of incredible updates and additions to this masterpiece of a game!!

However, I would like to mention that they could make the traffic a tad bit more realistic since they at the moment have got the IQ of a baby that can't speak. Also the police won't chase you even if you are in a slow car, they just drive way further back and as soon as they get the chance they crash into you. Other than that, it's a fantastic game!

My first version of deamng drive was 0.3.0., I got acquainted with this game in the year so 2016, then I was actively looking for new games for myself, in particular it was racing preferably with good damage, for me at that time there were only three games in which there were +/- good damage, this is burnout paradise, the series of games flatout and GTA 4, (why exactly these three games, because these first two were my favorite grams in which I learned that cars can be destroyed in games (of course the games were pirated), but when I saw on KZbin a lot of videos on the game in which very at that time (2016) realistic damage physics, I also wanted to try to play, watch it, that's how I got acquainted with beamng, the first impressions of this game were amazing, I came up with a lot of cool situations, rally, drift, or just crashed cars, for me this game became a favorite, unfortunately beamng drive was also pirated the version with mods, but it was enough for me, time passed, I searched the Internet for a new version, etc., only in 2020 I decided to buy my favorite game, the game caused a lot of different emotions, although my PC is not really pulling a new beamng, but I can't quit it anymore...
