GTPlanet Automaker Simulator: CYOCC 2 (Idiot GM kills game)

[DurWinning]

@BKGlover I just had an idea. Would it be possible to have a car of the year award? Motortrend does it and it sounds like decent idea.

Also when can we expect the first motor show to take place? I'm planning to unveil a new, original supercar as soon as I finish sketching it.

It would be freakin' awesome if this game had its own fictional car magazine that reviewed/road tested/comparison tested the cars and did a CotY. Juicy sneak peeks and spy shots and rumor mills and reader mail and all that. Lots of work, though...maybe we could all contribute (magazines have multiple editors, right?), obviously not reviewing our own cars (or even direct competitors).

$8 million for a Coupe with a 5.0L V10 is way too much so, I'll bit the bullet and sell the car for less than the development cost.
Price Revision;
NW01 now costs 810cr.

You're going VW Veyron style? Cool.

Yeah, why not. I'll lose shiploads of money but hey, I can bounce back!

 

[Legro]

L400 prices changed to game's credit system.

Guys, I think there's some confusion. Development cost is something you pay once. Production costs are paid once per car built. Production costs are 1/1000 of development cost. Example:

Development Cost: 2000 cr
Production Cost: 2 cr
MSRP: 7 cr

In this example you make 5 cr of profit for every car built. You'll recoup your development costs after 400 sales. If you sell 1400 cars in a quarter, you'll make 5,000 cr in profit. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that's how it works.

We'll see. I'd Like to, but I need to get the attributes down before anything can be crowned.

Well, we ARE past the time I set. Detroit is first, 100cr to show, 50cr for each car taken upto four. I'll do details after I get convos going(and I'm trying).

Production costs is something you pay at beginning of every quarter. Production cost is 1% of development cost so that's 1/100 of development cost.

Are you sure?

• IMPORTANT(8/30): There is a build cost for each car set at 0.1% of the development cost.
• (8/30) There is also a 1% cost for properties done quarterly.

I think you're thinking of the property maintenance cost. Build or production costs are per car.

 

[Aesthetics]

All I need to know is...
Does 1 cr =$1,000?

Does 1 cr =$1,000?

Yes.

 

[Legro]

I decided to raise prices of 1.8 version L400s.

 

[eran0004]

Since profits are assumed and calculated by the GM (BKGlover), I'm assuming it's assumed (so many assumptions ) that you make a profit on your cars as long as your prices are reasonable (i.e. not stupid expensive, which would result in nobody buying it, or stupid cheap, which would result in loss of money with every sale).

I also believe that the better the quality of your car is, the higher you can set the price (without losing customers).

All I need to know is...
Does 1 cr =$1,000?

I'm using a rate of 1 cr = € 5000. If it's 1 cr = $ 1000 then my cars are really cheap! I'm selling my Mk I model for 3.98 cr, which by my rate would be € 19'900. I may have to adjust the price later though, depending on how many cars I sell...

Agreed!

I'd imagine we all should use the same rate, or else things will get really confusing fast. (How fast? Fuchs Mk.1 fast!) I've just been going off of what BKGlover said.

 

[Jahgee]

I'm gonna go with 1 Cr. = $1000 as well, makes pricing for most of my planned cars easy. @BKGlover I don't remember if you answered this, but can I have multiple marquees under one brand (Like Buick & Chevrolet)

 

[Legro]

I have a question. Can you have two separate brands using same money like Citroen and Peugeot?

If you want to, yes.

I think this answers to that question.

 

[GranTurismo916]

ignore this post

 

[Jahgee]

I think this answers to that question.

Cool, I may have a company rebrand coming down the line

 

[Carmain2K]

I went for 1cr = £1000, although I think I need to reduce the prices of my cars.

 

[Legro]

Well if you guys go with 1cr = €1000. I may as well.

 

[GranTurismo916]

Well if you guys go with 1cr = €1000. I may as well.

For accurate prices, you might want to convert it to USD.

 

[Jahgee]

@italian06 I feel like your cars may be a bit overpriced, 150K for a Hatchback?

 

[Legro]

For accurate prices, you might want to convert it to USD.

I don't have button for that in my computer.

 

[Jahgee]

I don't have button for that in my computer.

1000 Euros is $1300
1000 Pounds is $1700

 

[Driving Park]

I don't have button for that in my computer.

I just Googled "money converter" and you can do all the conversions right on the results page. I have prices in Cr/USD/GBP/JPY (matching the markets my car is sold in) now.

 

[ildd]

After discussing, Harrbol would like to set the price of the Memrix to 32cr per car.

 

[italian06]

Changed my prices now

 

[Legro]

Price changed to go with 1cr = $1000.
