Early Access Review
The most accurate car building simulator on the market today, My Summer Car will make you rip out your hair and head to the beer fridge. In a good way, that is. This game offers realistic enjoyment, providing plenty of distractions to aid your inevitable rage such as:

-Need Management
*Buy food... on the other side of town!
*Pee like a man--anywhere you want!
*Sleep in a child's bed
-Side Jobs
*Chopping and delivering firewood
*Emptying septic tanks (into the lake!)
*Uber for drunkards
-Alcoholism
-Road Rage

And that's all before you even get the silly little car built. This is truly a game for gearheads, vehicle enthusiasts, and other engineers. Experience all the joys and frustrations of building a car without the pesky motor oil stains! Even if you don't know how to assemble a working vehicle from scratch in a garage full of parts, there are ample quality guides to lead the way. Are there bugs? Sure? Missing Textures? Plenty. Will this game ever be fully released? Who knows, the developers are wisely mute on the matter.

Overall, this game is a great deal of knucklebusting, gear wrenching fun.

I did get that $1200 rig. I'm greatly enjoying picking strawberries, of all things. So peaceful.

Nice term. Part of the blame relies on Topless being unable to update the engine for about the 5 years the game has been in development now. That's why im excited to see his next project with a better engine.

I like to think it boils down to big dreams. Devs want to put as much in as possible, can't resist adding player requested bloat, and eventually the engine is pushed as far as it can go. I'm going to start using a term called "Star Citizen Syndrome" for games that outgrow their britches like that.

Yeah it seems that optimization is a forgotten word when making games today.

The only step up from this current machine is to get a $1,200 rig.
Consumer grade PC specs top out at 2.4Ghz, while many modern (next gen?) games recommend 3.0Ghz+, which has to be either custom built or paid through the nose for.

It's all part of PCMR elitism wherein if you don't have a $5,000 rig, you are nothing, no one, and don't matter.

that's a shame. Hope you can go back to the game soon.

I cannot, actually. I use a budget system, very low spec. I'm also anti-update for this reason.

do you keep playing with the updates and all?

Pee like a man simulator, take 9. Try Postal 2, you can pee on, well everyone, but the audio is great specifically from cops and hookers.
