Those beamng devs surely must be feeling fortunate having this enthusiastic community! I too wonder if they watch videos and take note of the feedback from people... So anyway, your video got linked by nadeox in our internal dev chat \o/ The video has definitely brightened this sunday night for me; positive feedback is always a welcome boost in morale, and it pushes us to continue trying our best. So from one of those remote devs (saludos from spain), and on behalf of the whole dev team, thanks everyone, even you weirdos who hate the wydra, for your constant amazing support!
To be fair, that Theo Wilkinson guy, the author of that CCF mod seemed to nail absolutely everything, even beat you guys to the punch on the functional windows, collapsible top, parking sensors and blind spot monitoring, I’d wonder if you guys would try to hire that beast heh. Glad to see you being vocal with the community, always wondered who the mysterious wizards behind my favorite game of over ten years were, you guys are the reason I begged my parents for a computer a over decade ago
@stalinzd2580 last update definitely wasn't a big one but it was still a good update. Do you not like when they update cars that need updated? Sure the update is missing some stuff but I'm sure they will fix it just give them bit of time
So i personally pirated the game. Why? I had money, my parents simply didn't wanted to spend money on games. I would have payed every single cent, hence one day when i can i will uninstall the game and buy it legally.
Yeah in the end, some amount of piracy is going to happen no matter what. We prefer to attack that through effort and results, rather than using antipiracy systems. Those are often useless anyway, or straight problematic for legit players. That said... we do wish pirates didn't reach out with their pirate issues to our busy Support team. Because just like the game itself, it can only continue existing thanks to all you legit users🥲
After playing Beamng other car game feels boring and lifeless. It is really hard to give a game its unique character and make it livid. Hats off to the BeamNG devs for giving us such a masterpiece of a game. No matter what happens. This game will always be my Number 1.
I played both Forza H5, and the crew 2 a lot, and the beamng career just plays so much better than both of those. I don't know what exactly it is about beamngs career but it's so much fun.
@@homeopathicfossil-fuels4789 that's what i thought. when i last tried it out there wasn't much to it officially and it required a deeper knowledge to get into modding it which i wasnt interested in. hopefully the physics and mechanics can get applied to the more modern street racing and track simulators so we can get some epic gameplay with something that retains our attention - otherwise its destined to be a "once in a while fun to play for a few hours" kind of title, which would be a shame
One thing the BeamNG devs did better than triple A games; Hiring the people who's passionate about the game. As stated in the video, the great example is Agent_Y getting hired because he knows and passionate about messing with Jbeams. Incredible video and incredible devs.
Pretty vapid generalization. Acting like the thousands of employees at AAA studios who go into the industry despite knowing the pay is low and the work is hard aren't passionate about what they do is just a demonstration of your own myopic understanding of game development. Passion isn't the issue, scope creep, ballooning budgets, and unsustainable development practices are. It's not hard to find people passionate about game development, they're a dime a dozen, finding competent project management and proactive planning is far more difficult.
@@mingusmofaz5898 sure, I might not be so experienced in game developing, but have you take a look at that one AAA game dev tweet saying theyre only gonna hire white people?
Man, even if they did, I'd pay for it in a heart beat. I almost want to pay for the game again, just because I feel like I didn't pay enough 8 years ago.
It's because they make BeamNG out of passion, not greed. They could've easily made big maps that were later added like Italy a paid DLC and in today's gaming economy that would seem quite logical. They however, seem like people who find money as a cool litte bonus from making the game. BeamNG is really like an old school game in the way that you buy the game and that's it. You literally get the whole game. And that's why we love the devs so much, because at this point everything they add in the game feels like a gift from them to us. Just look at the game's price. It costs less than most half-assed projects in Unity that constantly pop up on Steam.
I'm so glad bein part of the BeamNG Community for over 8 years. It's been a crazy ride and every year the game makes me more and more happy. Can't wait for another 8 years. This will be the TOP game on the market. The Rigs Of Rods, everytime you talk about it, all of my moments comes back haha. I have a very old channel on YT with few crash compilations from that game 😃
BeamNG is honestly carrying car games for me; not sure if I would’ve gotten a full sim setup if it wasn’t for this game. And other than that, BeamNG is probably the only game that is versatile enough to keep coming up with new video ideas that entertain your audience, but no one knows that better than you :D
the game REALLY deserves better sounds: burbles, pops, bangs, engine damage sounds, tire squeals, engine sounds based on the exhaust status (sound ray-tracing maybe?? idk) cockpit sounds and so on. beautiful game
BeamNG drive is slowly becoming more realistic, until it becomes just so realistic that will look same as real life (also i started watching this video under half minutes) edit: i see, alot of likes
@@Zafor-ium I run a Moza R5 but usually just play on controller. The force feedback isn't quite there yet on direct drive wheels IMO. Too much noise and vibration.
My favorite part of BeamNG is how supportive the community is. I've been in a handful of gaming communities and was always disappointed by how toxic players could be towards devs. But the bulk of BeamNG players are open to the direction the developers are taking the game and rarely complain; Knowing the developers can't please everyone at once :D
I do agree with that. I was harassed by two nfs fanboys for liking unbound despite it being flawed and that they made the point of their hatred of the game and it was time to move on. Needless to say i muted both of them and moved on as it was no point in trying to talk and one of them made me the reason the game in their opinion terrible like they aren't even doing the same for harassing fans and devs
Beamng devs will always implement what we want in the game, as long as it's reasonable. Just, some updates come earlier, and some later. -still waiting for the miramar remaster-
Fr, I've never seen a playerbase more appreciateive and supportive of the dev team, and I feel like that's reciprocated by the devs to the player base too, we all listen to and respect eachother, and it makes the game incredible to enjoy
And it all started with a little game called Rigs of Rods. We now have a shit ton of mods for it, talking from experience since i'm in one of the modding servers.
The thing about offroad vehicles is that they typically have more niche types of suspension and drive systems, which gives the opportunity dev team to add underlying systems that can be used for other things later. For example, the Wydra being amphibious or a skid-steer.
Haha, I found it ironic that you were talking about how we read the comments, as I was reading the comments lol. Anyways super cool video! Made me smile :D!
We appreciate that you guys do. I think the only thing Beam really lacks for being a perfect All-in-one simulation happens to be dynamic weather. Even iRacing of all Sims got it this year. We know it's a dog to get done, but I strongly think it should be along the lines to get done; even if it's very late. iRacing took almost 15 years to finally implement, after 2 or 3 years of development. (and they got it pretty close). I also know that there is A LOT more for the Beam dev team to consider for dynamic weather, especially given that Beam overall has far more terrain types than iRacing has. Okay and this is just me wishful thinking: Beam NG's node system for crash physics to iRacing, when? 😁😁
beamMP client, couple with logmein Hamachi alongside the beamMP server to play with friends with your choice of modded maps or vehicles, or just join a public beamMP server with only client. mostly stable and a hell of alot of fun with friends.
@@randomcamera746 there is a reason for it being rhd though, since it was made in japan, but, maybe if you guys are lucky (im in australia so its no different if its rhd) you could possibly get a USDM config for lhd
graphics would kill the game performance even more, if you make a split screen it would mean you would have to render everything both players see all the time, which means if both were to look on opposite sides, your computer would die, so i prefer a performance update first
Barely anyone is working on ror anymore. It has some great potential due to its open source nature, where anyone can work on it, however most treat it as some ancient alpha demo and nobody ever tries to make it better.
@@ApertureSciencePsycho Idk I was looking at forums before I made that comment just to make sure I was right and I seen a few vehicles uploaded or updated within a week and a half
@@jacobwebb8818, and? Where new pull requests? Where donations? Where new opened issues? Where commits? There are some (especially issues), but barely anything at this point.
HAH, did a double take when i watched this video and suddenly saw myself in the old group photo 😁 Awesome video, Skyfall, that brought back memories. Never worked with a group of people so passionate about creating something special.
I remember back when BeamNG look like a PS3 game when i was very young, but now i think it's about to changed and improved... thanks to BeamNG Devs (& Rigs of Rods Devs) for this awesomeness and brings many youtubers.. 👍👍
i remember that at some point last year one the updates for beamng made the camera not move to the side to better see the vehicle when in the vehicle configurator. i then reached out to one of the devs on twitter and reported the issue, which was fixed in the next update.
been playing Beam for almost 10 years and i swear i love the devs so much and i’ve had the opportunity to talk to them on a few occasions great people great game autobeam forever 🔥
I love your videos man, someone to appreciate and share the little details and history of BeamNG that YBR hooked me on back in 2013. While his channel is gone, yours is here!
I play this game since tech demo with just the original gridmap... Although my pc back then made it into a slideshow. Recently found out there actually is a career mode already(thanks to ur channel). Have been playing constantly since then. Beamng wil always have a special place in my heart
So happy that I've experienced the community of BeamNG in my life. I don't think I would be the same since not only is BeamNG fun but also taught me so much (and when I get a wheel, will teach me much more) about cars and how they work. First watching yt videos about it both the trailers and Ybr videos. I was instantly into it. Now the game has progressed so far with the determination and sheer will of the devs and the community. It's why BeamNG is getting so much more fame now, because of the community's involvement, while I am kind of sad that usually people know this as a car crashing game, I'm happy that the game is getting the fame it deserves. As well as the amazing devs.
I have over 2000 hours in BeamNG and played the heck out of RoR when I was a kid, my PC could barely run it but that didnt stop me. I've loved every minute of it, I don't think there is a better Dev team out there.
I played a ton of the BeamNG demo, an older version from probably 2014 where you could only drive the D-series. My computer could barely run it since I didn’t really have a GPU, so I had to take parts off the truck to get better performance. I probably played at 10-20 fps the whole time, but it was worth it for the physics. I’m so glad I actually bought the game years later, because the devs are the greatest. The game itself is revolutionary as well.
I don't personally play BeamNG that much. But I think its one of the msot important titles in the driving simulation space. Im excited for everything they do. Since discovering the game, i have entered university to study mechanical engineering, and am specializing in multi-body dynamic simulations. Which has just given me a greater appreciation for what this team has achieved. Its so incredible we can run this on a home desktop.
Sir Skyfall, I am glad your channel is growing as fast as it has been. I too am a beam NG TH-camr who puts hundreds of editing hours into some of my videos, and understand how difficult it can be to edit. Then how frustrating it can be to post the videos only to see a yt short of some rainbow car crashing into a sign and getting millions of views. So I'm glad your growing and hope you continue to gain more subs, views, likes, etc as you definitely do deserve them as do the rest of us beam NG content creators do who pour hours of effort into videos.
BeamNG's developers are the only "car guys making a game for car guys". Every other car game company is ran by people that don't care about the community. They only care about money and staying in buisness forever. But BeamNG is just pure passion and I hope that it will never be developed under some PG or EA guy.
This approach to community feedback and taking good suggestions is so nice. It's one of the best things that I think can happen between a studio and the community that plays its games. I think it also speaks to the quality of the community when they can come up with really good ideas and make real, substantive critiques and not just dogpile that the game sucks or whatever. As for myself, I don't really interact with the community much as I mostly keep to myself and play beam once every few updates. What I can say though is that every time I come back to the game I find so much new and interesting stuff. Often in places I would normally not be excited about. Like the offroad van, I don't do offroading ever, but I spend a few hours driving that thing around the desert trails having a great time. The only thing that I think this game needs is for the dev team to keep going as they have been so far. Clearly this is a very good way to keep the game fresh and to keep the community enthusiastic engaged. There aren't many games with as good a community, or as good a Dev team as Beam has, it's kinda the opposite of EA or Ubisoft. In a great way of course! PS to the devs: I think beam has the best motion blur implementation in any modern game, it's actually fantastic. Only game where I leave it turned on.
I just love beamNG and thier devs. I purchased the game in May 2015 after i saw a gameplay and played the Demo. The way the physics worked stunned me. Now, 9 years later, i still play the game regularly. With 800+ hours it's by far my most played game in my steam library (i think only Minecraft can beat this) and no other game has managed to keep my attention for so long. The Carrer mode was announced so many years ago and finally playing the W.I.P Career mode just makes me happy and excited about the future! Thanks for this game BeamNG devs!
I really like the Pirate background and text box that appears in a pirated version, it's so cool when devs do that, even more so when they are so chill, these are truly great devs
@@br0ken_toast414 It feels to me like the game is missing something when there’s an old 90s-2000s truck and suv and there’s no modern versions of them, I mean a ton of new trailers where added why not make a new truck and suv to go along with them?
This game has given me a core memory with my little cousin. I would watch channels who just made random “what would happen if….” Videos and my cousin sat and watched. He was 6-8 at the time. He just started laughing so hard when the cars crashed. I was 20-23. I couldn’t help but laugh with him. His pure laugh was just too much! He laughed so hard that he started to cry! It was one of the best times, and I needed to laugh around that time.
The fact they are involving the modding community so heavily into the game's development (hiring them, promoting their content, taking notes and collaborating, listening to input and actually using the input) says waves about how much the devs care about this game. More so, speaks volumes for where the game will go in the future.
hands down best car game dev ever, constant free updates and improvments, great response to community feedback, heaven sent devs with absoletely no complaints
Been playing Beam since 2013, it's been such a treat watching this game grow. It's barely even recognizeable from that first alpha release. I love the variety of cars, maps, racing disciplines, activities, and even the nods to other games and media. It's so good to have devs that are geeks. 10 years on and I still get hyped whenever there's a new update. Looking forward to the next decade!
I had to do a presentation at school about the evolution of car safety back in I think 2015. The presentation was a flop but I lugged my PC to school and gave a live demo of BeamNG which impressed the teachers so much that they let me pass.
Feels like BeamNg should stop ignoring the market of non Automobile transportation, they have the physics to create literally any type of vehicle. Is it a fair idea to think, trains, trolls/trams planes, and boats-if not many should be implemented into the base game?
Als ich in der 4. Klasse war hab ich beam ng auf TH-cam gefunden erstmal musst ich 2 mal gucken ob es ein Spiel ist oder echtes Leben direkt hab ich nur noch videos geguckt da ich noch keinen PC hatte Als ich meinen ersten PC bekommen habe zu Weihnachten hab ich als erstes Spiel beam ng gekauft und bin jedes mal überrascht wie gut sich das Spiel entwickelt ich bin jetzt 16 Jahre alt und spiele dieses Spiel fast jeden Tag da man machen kann was man will (tuning) hab stand jetzt bißchen was über 800 spielstunden Ich hoffe ein dev liest dies da ich mich bedanken wollte wie ihr das Spiel in meine Kindheit gebracht habt
I had an internship in their Headquarters in Bremen a few years ago. That was the most chill working experience I have had yet. Everyone there is your average gamer / nerd and it felt like a real life discord server. Shit talking and all. You could also really feel the passion they have for the game, as well as the community. Sadly I was too socially awkward and not knowledgeable enough to really get a view into the game design process. But would still recommend applying there, if you get the chance.
remember that the devs have passions, just as much as the community wants something, the devs want to make things they like too. if they are passionate about offroading, don't get upset and think they've abandoned onroad driving, let them have fun, you can always suggest anything you want, but development takes much longer than ideating.
I love BeamNG's approach to design, work, and collaboration. For years, I could only infer some of these things from seeing the way they released updates (a big one is one game purchase entitles the player to a lifetime of base game updates for as long as people continue to be interested in the game). The team live out so many business/organizational best practices that others may mention but not actually live and breathe on the daily. That said, I think a number of small to mid sized indie game devs all share a spot on the same spectrum as BeamNG. This in no way detracts from the amazing game/community/work environment the BeamNG team have built, and they are definitely one of the if not the most amazing example. I think any smaller studio that's strapped for all resources (cash, manpower, skills, assets) that happens to believe in a vision HAS to reach out to modders, outsourcing, and a community that shares the devs' passion and vision. I'm undoubtedly limited to survivorship bias, since I can't be aware of the many failed projects out there, but some other games with similarly fluid and interconnected communities and devs are: Project Zomboid, Rimworld, Space Engineers, Arma 3. My big gaming phase peaked nearly a decade ago, so I am sure that I have missed a number of other games with similarly passionate and involved/responsive devs and communities that came before and after my small gaming window. I think that most of these other games/devs share at least some if not many of the same attributes you've described here. One thing that all of them do share is a strong commitment to supporting community modding. In pure business terms, it's leveraging dev time that is unpaid by the studio. A lot of the work is done for free by players and modders. Some of it is paid for by players who commission coding work on the games' marketplaces. In practice, the most passionate players are better able to realize and enjoy the content or lesser features they want in a game (to the extent possible short of actually controlling the dev studio and making fundamental changes to the core engine and framework). This frees up the dev studio's resources to focus a bit more on making fundamental changes and improvements to the core engine and framework as necessary and as they are able to within the engine's limits, to further support the community. It could go horribly wrong as anything can, if corporate bean counters get a hold of the process and try to make it a cash grab. But that's fine so long as all these games remain too small, too ornery/contrarian, or otherwisee too unprofitable for someone like EA, Activision, Ubisoft, Sony, Microsoft, etc to attempt to buy them out. And TBF, some of the most-hated publishers used to be small-time publishers themselves, 30+ years ago. Sometimes you live long enough to become the villain. XD
I 100% don’t regret getting beamng. I have hundreds of hours yet I’m still addicted, I do wish we could see a couple other features like cars getting dirty and similar features. 20/10 game though, would recommend.
We need more devs like the beamng devs, the actual commitment they have to thier project is unseen by most modern game developers including ones many many times thier size
The devs are kicking ass. I’d be hella stoked to one day see actual, exploding tires ,moving factory machinery and textures in and around factories , infotainment /Lua radio script for cars realistic weather. This game out does all the others hands down!
The BeamNG devs are the best but lets not forget the community, it holds and is held by amazing content creators, modders, and even organizations that help the game grow and become accessible to a wider audience, there are stories like WhyBeAre which i grew up watching and the big creators like MuYe and Nielogical and others including the smaller creators like SkyFall, BeamDriver, TalksWithNoise, Bio, etc. The devs are great and they have a great community behind them! Great vid! :D
17:48 well now, this is probably why it is so easy for mod makers to do damaged parts/beater configs, just easily make the damages you want, export, and you got a saved damaged part model, so you can get things like a door dent, an already broken hood/trunk latch without having it break when first spawned (gavril vertex beater is example)
I remember being around 12 or 13 and falling in love with this game, never stopped playing I'm 21 now. Still playing with thousands of hours. Its crazy cool studios want to use the engine for movie scenes as with a few mods ive recreated almost every action movie action set peice 😅 my favorite recently has been the opening of Mad Max 1 with the highway patrol and the huge trailer!
Its funny, back when I was poor and just looking for free games online, I found Rig of Rods in like 2011 and started seeing videos from Beamng and Wreckfest (next car game) in 2012/2013 and my mind being blown with soft body or just accurately simulated physics. I am glad that they are absolutely blowing up. Its almost unbelievable because I don't think anyone saw this coming
Just got my first sim racing wheel, gearstick, and handbrake, and the first thing I did was play BeamNG. Currently learning to drive, and the physics and UI make it really REALLY helpful to master things like the biting point and hillstarts, revmatching, etc. If I was to hint at any features I'd like, I'd ask for a map in the UK, in the Scottish Highlands, in the Pennines, the Lakes, or somewhere like this; somewhere muddy, hilly. Moorlands. The phyiscs for off-roading are so good, I want to see _mud_ physics like we have gotten for dustbowl driving :D
2 ideas for a future update. Vibration on controllers (or wheel) for tire sliding. Noise for tire scrub or low levels of sliding. Some tire squeal early on but others don't make noise until you've already lost adhesion.
As I approach 1250 hours in this game, I have to take my hat off to your excellent video. Also I giggled that we actually got a member of the devteam in the comments! My favorite games are the ones where the community and dev team are respectful to each other and both are interested in the same thing: Making an awesome game.
I also wanna point out that the devs are young and breath new life into old workflows, I’m pretty sure they have an amazingly good communication system and plan system.

Value for value, BeamNG and the very talented and passionate team have made a very impressive simulation tool. We ❤ BeamNG and continue to use them in our projects.
Don't get me wrong, the Beam devs are great, but they never always used to be like this. I remember a time when reasonable requests would be met with "check the FAQ" "we can't do that" "we'd be better optimising the game instead" "this is not possible within the limits of the game engine" etc. I recall one of those things was opening doors. As usual someone modded it in and proved it was possible and they followed suit. Updates would break all the user generated content for the sake of fixing an invisible graphics bug on a 20 year old GPU that can't even run the game. It was so frustrating. I'm glad they switched things up and changed for the best. I am now genuinely excited to see what the future holds in store for the game.
The ONLY thing i tend to dislike about BeamNG are the actual materials behaviour, for example instead of a car ripping in half it would instead bend and stretch in an unrealistic way.
Barely anyone is working on Rigs of Rods anymore. It has some great potential due to its open source nature, where anyone can work on it, however most treat it as some ancient alpha demo and nobody ever tries to make it better.
Ever since I realized around 2020 that Minecraft just won't do I formed my opinion and have been keeping it to this day. Best game dev team ever: Wube Software, creators of Factorio. Second best game dev team ever: BeamNG. There's a reason both games are incredibly good, long-term in development, seemingly niche, but also incredibly popular and well made, loved by many. I'm sure that as time goes on more and more kids grow up with those two. Both are great for developing minds, Factorio teaches you high level concepts in software engineering without even trying, BeamNG teaches you physics. I love every detail in that game. From the oil starvation smoke to exhaust separation causing loudness of the engine. It's insane!
Great info! I watched the referenced vodcast and hate how little Nataliia was able to say. Jared had lots of great things to talk about, but man did he dominate the convo. hahaha!
I remember watching that first CryEngine demo video, then downloading the first playable demo, and then Steam greenlight release, which I bought immediately. I remember you couldn't even stall in the earlier releases, engine sound was awful, the clutch was indestructible, but physics were awesome since day one. I played every update since, and I'm still hyped when new content released because I know it will get even more lifelike. The fact they added VR last year is awesome, thank you BeamNG developers!
beamng drive devs never fail to amaze me. i pirated the game when i was 12 loved it. once i got my first job i bought the game to support the dev. i love this game so much. i owe the devs a beer
So happy they are getting the attention they deserve. I pirated a copy nearly a decade ago and it brought me many hours of entertainment. Finally bought a legit copy once I graduated university
Beamng is literally the best game out there right now. The devs actually listen and fix bugs that they can fix, and they allow people to do anything with mods that they want to.
this is one of those games i'd happily pay again for. i paid around £15 in 2015 and now have at least 2000 hours. they've made so many updates and additions that it's essentially an entirely different game to the one I bought nearly 10 years ago

@@Madpiggaming honestly same, I feel like I'm ripping them off every single update
It's because they make BeamNG out of passion, not greed. They could've easily made big maps that were later added like Italy a paid DLC and in today's gaming economy that would seem quite logical. They however, seem like people who find money as a cool litte bonus from making the game. BeamNG is really like an old school game in the way that you buy the game and that's it. You literally get the whole game. And that's why we love the devs so much, because at this point everything they add in the game feels like a gift from them to us. Just look at the game's price. It costs less than most half-assed projects in Unity that constantly pop up on Steam.
I'm so glad bein part of the BeamNG Community for over 8 years. It's been a crazy ride and every year the game makes me more and more happy.
Can't wait for another 8 years. This will be the TOP game on the market.
The Rigs Of Rods, everytime you talk about it, all of my moments comes back haha. I have a very old channel on YT with few crash compilations from that game 😃
BeamNG is honestly carrying car games for me; not sure if I would’ve gotten a full sim setup if it wasn’t for this game.
And other than that, BeamNG is probably the only game that is versatile enough to keep coming up with new video ideas that entertain your audience, but no one knows that better than you :D
Two things that I'd love in beamng are
1. being able to select materials for single parts and colouring them
2. adding an armored car
the game REALLY deserves better sounds: burbles, pops, bangs, engine damage sounds, tire squeals, engine sounds based on the exhaust status (sound ray-tracing maybe?? idk) cockpit sounds and so on. beautiful game
I believe they are working with engine simulator to get better engine sounds.
@@huntersmith4153 hell yes!!! that would actually be amazing!
@@huntersmith4153 yeah they've been donating to angethegreat for a while, that always gave me hope they'd implement it.
“Hellraiser 99” does really good stuff on the repo if you want some better sounds
There actually is some sound raytracing already in BeamNG
BeamNG drive is slowly becoming more realistic, until it becomes just so realistic that will look same as real life (also i started watching this video under half minutes)
edit: i see, alot of likes
Which wheel do you use
@@Zafor-ium i dont use a steering wheel
@@Zafor-iumG932 w/ shifter, solid wheel.
@@Zafor-ium I run a Moza R5 but usually just play on controller. The force feedback isn't quite there yet on direct drive wheels IMO. Too much noise and vibration.
@@smileyguyzI agree, do you also have the 350% ffb bug when spawning / entering a vehicle?
My favorite part of BeamNG is how supportive the community is. I've been in a handful of gaming communities and was always disappointed by how toxic players could be towards devs. But the bulk of BeamNG players are open to the direction the developers are taking the game and rarely complain; Knowing the developers can't please everyone at once :D
I do agree with that.
I was harassed by two nfs fanboys for liking unbound despite it being flawed and that they made the point of their hatred of the game and it was time to move on.
Needless to say i muted both of them and moved on as it was no point in trying to talk and one of them made me the reason the game in their opinion terrible like they aren't even doing the same for harassing fans and devs
Beamng devs will always implement what we want in the game, as long as it's reasonable. Just, some updates come earlier, and some later. -still waiting for the miramar remaster-
Fr, I've never seen a playerbase more appreciateive and supportive of the dev team, and I feel like that's reciprocated by the devs to the player base too, we all listen to and respect eachother, and it makes the game incredible to enjoy
And it all started with a little game called Rigs of Rods.
We now have a shit ton of mods for it, talking from experience since i'm in one of the modding servers.
h a h a you cant guess how i got 3 like'a
1 edit : f*** now it 2
2 edit : yes it back H a h A
RoR was effectively (but not literally) the tech demo for beamng.
AYYYY VOID HYD
From rorreborn yeah?
Didn't expect to see you here voidsegeros/v0ids3geros
Probably the best developer teams ever
Sure if you think the best developers never fully release a game
@@justmechanicthingsbut they actually listen to fans
@@justmechanicthingsIt might be in beta but it’s still far more complete then a lot of these bullshit AAA titles coming out recently
The thing about offroad vehicles is that they typically have more niche types of suspension and drive systems, which gives the opportunity dev team to add underlying systems that can be used for other things later. For example, the Wydra being amphibious or a skid-steer.
Haha, I found it ironic that you were talking about how we read the comments, as I was reading the comments lol. Anyways super cool video! Made me smile :D!
Ayy Jared! Thanks for stopping by :D
We appreciate that you guys do.
I think the only thing Beam really lacks for being a perfect All-in-one simulation happens to be dynamic weather. Even iRacing of all Sims got it this year. We know it's a dog to get done, but I strongly think it should be along the lines to get done; even if it's very late. iRacing took almost 15 years to finally implement, after 2 or 3 years of development. (and they got it pretty close).
I also know that there is A LOT more for the Beam dev team to consider for dynamic weather, especially given that Beam overall has far more terrain types than iRacing has.
Okay and this is just me wishful thinking: Beam NG's node system for crash physics to iRacing, when? 😁😁
if they make the multiplayer easier to access this game will absolutely explode
beamMP client, couple with logmein Hamachi alongside the beamMP server to play with friends with your choice of modded maps or vehicles, or just join a public beamMP server with only client. mostly stable and a hell of alot of fun with friends.
i am BEGGING the devs for a miramar remaster
They gave it a refreshed drift config in 0.32, so I reckon it might get some love soon
The 2 og muscle cars need one desperately..
yes, especially a lhd version
burnside special and sunburst need some love too
@@randomcamera746 there is a reason for it being rhd though, since it was made in japan, but, maybe if you guys are lucky (im in australia so its no different if its rhd) you could possibly get a USDM config for lhd
even though the game is pretty big, it deserves to be even more popular
Most anticipated update in Beamng
-Graphics mod
-Online
-split screen
what about scratches and dirt on vehicles
Pre war cars are my number 1 tbh! Online is already a thing (kinda) :)
i would like better tyre physics ngl
graphics would kill the game performance even more, if you make a split screen it would mean you would have to render everything both players see all the time, which means if both were to look on opposite sides, your computer would die, so i prefer a performance update first
I believe split screen already exists in game. Very demanding to run though
one thing I really appreciate is that the devs have always focused on function over form (ie. new mechanics over new cars)
Another thing you could have mentioned:
Rigs of Rods is still having user made content pumped out nearly weekly and still has an sctive user base
Barely anyone is working on ror anymore. It has some great potential due to its open source nature, where anyone can work on it, however most treat it as some ancient alpha demo and nobody ever tries to make it better.
@@ApertureSciencePsycho Idk I was looking at forums before I made that comment just to make sure I was right and I seen a few vehicles uploaded or updated within a week and a half
@@jacobwebb8818, vehicles is one thing, contributing to the project is another
@@ApertureSciencePsycho did you misread my original comment? 🤣 I literally said it's still having user made content being produced
@@jacobwebb8818, and? Where new pull requests? Where donations? Where new opened issues? Where commits? There are some (especially issues), but barely anything at this point.
HAH, did a double take when i watched this video and suddenly saw myself in the old group photo 😁 Awesome video, Skyfall, that brought back memories. Never worked with a group of people so passionate about creating something special.
I remember back when BeamNG look like a PS3 game when i was very young, but now i think it's about to changed and improved... thanks to BeamNG Devs (& Rigs of Rods Devs) for this awesomeness and brings many youtubers.. 👍👍
as a ps3 owner it indeed looked like a ps3 game
i remember that at some point last year one the updates for beamng made the camera not move to the side to better see the vehicle when in the vehicle configurator.
i then reached out to one of the devs on twitter and reported the issue, which was fixed in the next update.
been playing Beam for almost 10 years and i swear i love the devs so much and i’ve had the opportunity to talk to them on a few occasions
great people great game
autobeam forever 🔥
I love your videos man, someone to appreciate and share the little details and history of BeamNG that YBR hooked me on back in 2013. While his channel is gone, yours is here!
Much appreciated! I’m very glad you like my channel :)
Man i have played beamng for years and im a child. Never got disappointed by updates and it changed my perspective looking into cars
It was cool to learn more about the game we have spent so many hours playing and will spend more.
Thanks Sky for the super video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
After this video I actually want to work @beamng. Been making videos with that game for 8 years! Great video!
Wow that means a lot coming from you! Glad you enjoyed the video ;)
New vid let's gooooo! Also I love this editing style and dramatization sky!
Glad you enjoy it!
As a professional Rigs of Rods modder. I can happily confirm the community is still standing strong. 💪
Oh yes, the god send that made my childhood and distracts me from my classwork.
I play this game since tech demo with just the original gridmap... Although my pc back then made it into a slideshow. Recently found out there actually is a career mode already(thanks to ur channel). Have been playing constantly since then. Beamng wil always have a special place in my heart
I have a really big respect for Beamng Devs to ignore their sleep schedule to make us happy
So happy that I've experienced the community of BeamNG in my life.
I don't think I would be the same since not only is BeamNG fun but also taught me so much (and when I get a wheel, will teach me much more) about cars and how they work.
First watching yt videos about it both the trailers and Ybr videos. I was instantly into it. Now the game has progressed so far with the determination and sheer will of the devs and the community. It's why BeamNG is getting so much more fame now, because of the community's involvement, while I am kind of sad that usually people know this as a car crashing game, I'm happy that the game is getting the fame it deserves. As well as the amazing devs.
Very very well said! Couldn’t agree more!
I have over 2000 hours in BeamNG and played the heck out of RoR when I was a kid, my PC could barely run it but that didnt stop me. I've loved every minute of it, I don't think there is a better Dev team out there.
I played a ton of the BeamNG demo, an older version from probably 2014 where you could only drive the D-series. My computer could barely run it since I didn’t really have a GPU, so I had to take parts off the truck to get better performance. I probably played at 10-20 fps the whole time, but it was worth it for the physics.
I’m so glad I actually bought the game years later, because the devs are the greatest. The game itself is revolutionary as well.
I’ve been playing this game since 2013. Now with over 3,000 hours. Simply one of the most amazing games ever. With an incredible team. Great video
Main thing I'm waiting on is the aerodynamics update
I don't personally play BeamNG that much. But I think its one of the msot important titles in the driving simulation space. Im excited for everything they do.
Since discovering the game, i have entered university to study mechanical engineering, and am specializing in multi-body dynamic simulations. Which has just given me a greater appreciation for what this team has achieved. Its so incredible we can run this on a home desktop.
Sir Skyfall,
I am glad your channel is growing as fast as it has been. I too am a beam NG TH-camr who puts hundreds of editing hours into some of my videos, and understand how difficult it can be to edit. Then how frustrating it can be to post the videos only to see a yt short of some rainbow car crashing into a sign and getting millions of views. So I'm glad your growing and hope you continue to gain more subs, views, likes, etc as you definitely do deserve them as do the rest of us beam NG content creators do who pour hours of effort into videos.
It’s incredibly hard to build a channel in this niche, but hard works always pays off :)
THE "Tequila-Dave" music transition was AMAZING
BeamNG's developers are the only "car guys making a game for car guys". Every other car game company is ran by people that don't care about the community. They only care about money and staying in buisness forever. But BeamNG is just pure passion and I hope that it will never be developed under some PG or EA guy.
> car guys making a game for car guys
That quote made me smile :)
This approach to community feedback and taking good suggestions is so nice. It's one of the best things that I think can happen between a studio and the community that plays its games. I think it also speaks to the quality of the community when they can come up with really good ideas and make real, substantive critiques and not just dogpile that the game sucks or whatever.
As for myself, I don't really interact with the community much as I mostly keep to myself and play beam once every few updates. What I can say though is that every time I come back to the game I find so much new and interesting stuff. Often in places I would normally not be excited about. Like the offroad van, I don't do offroading ever, but I spend a few hours driving that thing around the desert trails having a great time.
The only thing that I think this game needs is for the dev team to keep going as they have been so far. Clearly this is a very good way to keep the game fresh and to keep the community enthusiastic engaged. There aren't many games with as good a community, or as good a Dev team as Beam has, it's kinda the opposite of EA or Ubisoft. In a great way of course!
PS to the devs: I think beam has the best motion blur implementation in any modern game, it's actually fantastic. Only game where I leave it turned on.
19:00 Thats me on the chat!!
thats ccol
but do you remember what map that is?
@@DarrenWoodsJr-m7i Tokyo's Shuto Expressway - www.beamng.com/threads/tokyos-shuto-expressway-metropolitan-expressway.61259/
I just love beamNG and thier devs.
I purchased the game in May 2015 after i saw a gameplay and played the Demo. The way the physics worked stunned me.
Now, 9 years later, i still play the game regularly. With 800+ hours it's by far my most played game in my steam library (i think only Minecraft can beat this) and no other game has managed to keep my attention for so long.
The Carrer mode was announced so many years ago and finally playing the W.I.P Career mode just makes me happy and excited about the future!
Thanks for this game BeamNG devs!
This video is a must watch
I really like the Pirate background and text box that appears in a pirated version, it's so cool when devs do that, even more so when they are so chill, these are truly great devs
Who thinks we need a more modern truck
A modern pickup and large suv would be very cool
I don’t think it worth it, the truck rn is fine
@@br0ken_toast414 you don’t think a modern version of the d series and roamer would be cool?
@@eliteleaf5305 I do think it would be cool it’s just that it isn’t really a priority rn
@@br0ken_toast414 It feels to me like the game is missing something when there’s an old 90s-2000s truck and suv and there’s no modern versions of them, I mean a ton of new trailers where added why not make a new truck and suv to go along with them?
What I personally love about beamng is the mods, as well as specifically mods that I didn't know I wanted, but now realise I need.
This game has given me a core memory with my little cousin. I would watch channels who just made random “what would happen if….” Videos and my cousin sat and watched. He was 6-8 at the time. He just started laughing so hard when the cars crashed. I was 20-23. I couldn’t help but laugh with him. His pure laugh was just too much! He laughed so hard that he started to cry! It was one of the best times, and I needed to laugh around that time.
I can imagine that so well ;)
Thanks for sharing!
The fact they are involving the modding community so heavily into the game's development (hiring them, promoting their content, taking notes and collaborating, listening to input and actually using the input) says waves about how much the devs care about this game. More so, speaks volumes for where the game will go in the future.
Very true
Man I remember seeing their first video regarding the cryengine3 and I had goosebumps from how beautiful their work was.
hands down best car game dev ever, constant free updates and improvments, great response to community feedback, heaven sent devs with absoletely no complaints
880 hours in beamng and another 800 in automation and im still enjoying this game
Been playing Beam since 2013, it's been such a treat watching this game grow. It's barely even recognizeable from that first alpha release. I love the variety of cars, maps, racing disciplines, activities, and even the nods to other games and media. It's so good to have devs that are geeks. 10 years on and I still get hyped whenever there's a new update. Looking forward to the next decade!
I had to do a presentation at school about the evolution of car safety back in I think 2015. The presentation was a flop but I lugged my PC to school and gave a live demo of BeamNG which impressed the teachers so much that they let me pass.
Feels like BeamNg should stop ignoring the market of non Automobile transportation, they have the physics to create literally any type of vehicle. Is it a fair idea to think, trains, trolls/trams planes, and boats-if not many should be implemented into the base game?
Als ich in der 4. Klasse war hab ich beam ng auf TH-cam gefunden erstmal musst ich 2 mal gucken ob es ein Spiel ist oder echtes Leben direkt hab ich nur noch videos geguckt da ich noch keinen PC hatte
Als ich meinen ersten PC bekommen habe zu Weihnachten hab ich als erstes Spiel beam ng gekauft und bin jedes mal überrascht wie gut sich das Spiel entwickelt ich bin jetzt 16 Jahre alt und spiele dieses Spiel fast jeden Tag da man machen kann was man will (tuning) hab stand jetzt bißchen was über 800 spielstunden
Ich hoffe ein dev liest dies da ich mich bedanken wollte wie ihr das Spiel in meine Kindheit gebracht habt
Jaa die Entwicklung in den letzten Jahren ist echt beeindruckend!
i remember paying rigs of rods on an hp laptop when i was younger, crazy to see how far they have come.
Great video as always, keep up the good work :)
And as always, thank you BeamNG developers! Almost got 2,000 hours on this game now
Means a lot, thank you!
Gabester is my hero, did you know he makes music too?
Yes, I used some of his tracks in this video!
I only use gabester music in my videos❤
I had an internship in their Headquarters in Bremen a few years ago. That was the most chill working experience I have had yet. Everyone there is your average gamer / nerd and it felt like a real life discord server. Shit talking and all. You could also really feel the passion they have for the game, as well as the community. Sadly I was too socially awkward and not knowledgeable enough to really get a view into the game design process. But would still recommend applying there, if you get the chance.
remember that the devs have passions, just as much as the community wants something, the devs want to make things they like too. if they are passionate about offroading, don't get upset and think they've abandoned onroad driving, let them have fun, you can always suggest anything you want, but development takes much longer than ideating.
I love BeamNG's approach to design, work, and collaboration. For years, I could only infer some of these things from seeing the way they released updates (a big one is one game purchase entitles the player to a lifetime of base game updates for as long as people continue to be interested in the game). The team live out so many business/organizational best practices that others may mention but not actually live and breathe on the daily.
That said, I think a number of small to mid sized indie game devs all share a spot on the same spectrum as BeamNG. This in no way detracts from the amazing game/community/work environment the BeamNG team have built, and they are definitely one of the if not the most amazing example. I think any smaller studio that's strapped for all resources (cash, manpower, skills, assets) that happens to believe in a vision HAS to reach out to modders, outsourcing, and a community that shares the devs' passion and vision. I'm undoubtedly limited to survivorship bias, since I can't be aware of the many failed projects out there, but some other games with similarly fluid and interconnected communities and devs are: Project Zomboid, Rimworld, Space Engineers, Arma 3.
My big gaming phase peaked nearly a decade ago, so I am sure that I have missed a number of other games with similarly passionate and involved/responsive devs and communities that came before and after my small gaming window.
I think that most of these other games/devs share at least some if not many of the same attributes you've described here. One thing that all of them do share is a strong commitment to supporting community modding. In pure business terms, it's leveraging dev time that is unpaid by the studio. A lot of the work is done for free by players and modders. Some of it is paid for by players who commission coding work on the games' marketplaces. In practice, the most passionate players are better able to realize and enjoy the content or lesser features they want in a game (to the extent possible short of actually controlling the dev studio and making fundamental changes to the core engine and framework). This frees up the dev studio's resources to focus a bit more on making fundamental changes and improvements to the core engine and framework as necessary and as they are able to within the engine's limits, to further support the community.
It could go horribly wrong as anything can, if corporate bean counters get a hold of the process and try to make it a cash grab. But that's fine so long as all these games remain too small, too ornery/contrarian, or otherwisee too unprofitable for someone like EA, Activision, Ubisoft, Sony, Microsoft, etc to attempt to buy them out. And TBF, some of the most-hated publishers used to be small-time publishers themselves, 30+ years ago. Sometimes you live long enough to become the villain. XD
I am so
Proud to be an early member of the community, I started playing bmg drive in 2014 , back then it wasn’t even on steam and it cost 50 bucks
I swear these are the only game devs on earth that actually love their job, and you cant tell that by how amazing their work is ❤
I 100% don’t regret getting beamng. I have hundreds of hours yet I’m still addicted, I do wish we could see a couple other features like cars getting dirty and similar features. 20/10 game though, would recommend.
They definitely are my favorite dev team! I hope they add a more modern pickup and/or mustang/Camaro inspired car!
We need more devs like the beamng devs, the actual commitment they have to thier project is unseen by most modern game developers including ones many many times thier size
Very true, the world (or at least the gaming industry) would be a better place if more devs were like the BeamNG team
The devs are kicking ass. I’d be hella stoked to one day see actual, exploding tires ,moving factory machinery and textures in and around factories , infotainment /Lua radio script for cars realistic weather. This game out does all the others hands down!
The BeamNG devs are the best but lets not forget the community, it holds and is held by amazing content creators, modders, and even organizations that help the game grow and become accessible to a wider audience, there are stories like WhyBeAre which i grew up watching and the big creators like MuYe and Nielogical and others including the smaller creators like SkyFall, BeamDriver, TalksWithNoise, Bio, etc. The devs are great and they have a great community behind them! Great vid! :D
I fully agree! Thanks :)
Hell yer Brotherr!! I havent fully watched this yet but man your Videos have been 🔥 lately 😎
I appreciate that!
17:48 well now, this is probably why it is so easy for mod makers to do damaged parts/beater configs, just easily make the damages you want, export, and you got a saved damaged part model, so you can get things like a door dent, an already broken hood/trunk latch without having it break when first spawned (gavril vertex beater is example)
I remember being around 12 or 13 and falling in love with this game, never stopped playing I'm 21 now. Still playing with thousands of hours.
Its crazy cool studios want to use the engine for movie scenes as with a few mods ive recreated almost every action movie action set peice 😅 my favorite recently has been the opening of Mad Max 1 with the highway patrol and the huge trailer!
Its funny, back when I was poor and just looking for free games online, I found Rig of Rods in like 2011 and started seeing videos from Beamng and Wreckfest (next car game) in 2012/2013 and my mind being blown with soft body or just accurately simulated physics. I am glad that they are absolutely blowing up. Its almost unbelievable because I don't think anyone saw this coming
Just got my first sim racing wheel, gearstick, and handbrake, and the first thing I did was play BeamNG. Currently learning to drive, and the physics and UI make it really REALLY helpful to master things like the biting point and hillstarts, revmatching, etc.
If I was to hint at any features I'd like, I'd ask for a map in the UK, in the Scottish Highlands, in the Pennines, the Lakes, or somewhere like this; somewhere muddy, hilly. Moorlands. The phyiscs for off-roading are so good, I want to see _mud_ physics like we have gotten for dustbowl driving :D
2 ideas for a future update.
Vibration on controllers (or wheel) for tire sliding.
Noise for tire scrub or low levels of sliding. Some tire squeal early on but others don't make noise until you've already lost adhesion.
As I approach 1250 hours in this game, I have to take my hat off to your excellent video.
Also I giggled that we actually got a member of the devteam in the comments!
My favorite games are the ones where the community and dev team are respectful to each other and both are interested in the same thing: Making an awesome game.
Thanks, I appreciate it!
Yeah haha, we got some devs in the comments :)
I also wanna point out that the devs are young and breath new life into old workflows, I’m pretty sure they have an amazingly good communication system and plan system.
Value for value, BeamNG and the very talented and passionate team have made a very impressive simulation tool. We ❤ BeamNG and continue to use them in our projects.
Don't get me wrong, the Beam devs are great, but they never always used to be like this. I remember a time when reasonable requests would be met with "check the FAQ" "we can't do that" "we'd be better optimising the game instead" "this is not possible within the limits of the game engine" etc.
I recall one of those things was opening doors. As usual someone modded it in and proved it was possible and they followed suit.
Updates would break all the user generated content for the sake of fixing an invisible graphics bug on a 20 year old GPU that can't even run the game. It was so frustrating.
I'm glad they switched things up and changed for the best. I am now genuinely excited to see what the future holds in store for the game.
The ONLY thing i tend to dislike about BeamNG are the actual materials behaviour, for example instead of a car ripping in half it would instead bend and stretch in an unrealistic way.
I’m sure they’re working on beams that can rip apart :)
Glad more and more people are catching on, this has been the best driving game since the tech demo released
Barely anyone is working on Rigs of Rods anymore. It has some great potential due to its open source nature, where anyone can work on it, however most treat it as some ancient alpha demo and nobody ever tries to make it better.
Ever since I realized around 2020 that Minecraft just won't do I formed my opinion and have been keeping it to this day. Best game dev team ever: Wube Software, creators of Factorio. Second best game dev team ever: BeamNG. There's a reason both games are incredibly good, long-term in development, seemingly niche, but also incredibly popular and well made, loved by many. I'm sure that as time goes on more and more kids grow up with those two. Both are great for developing minds, Factorio teaches you high level concepts in software engineering without even trying, BeamNG teaches you physics. I love every detail in that game. From the oil starvation smoke to exhaust separation causing loudness of the engine. It's insane!
What really got me was learning that Ryan Anderson (Son-Uva-Digger) uses the MT mods to practice driving his actual truck in a full sim rig
Great info! I watched the referenced vodcast and hate how little Nataliia was able to say. Jared had lots of great things to talk about, but man did he dominate the convo. hahaha!
Yeah haha, most questions were quite technical so Nataliia let Jared speak…
I remember watching that first CryEngine demo video, then downloading the first playable demo, and then Steam greenlight release, which I bought immediately. I remember you couldn't even stall in the earlier releases, engine sound was awful, the clutch was indestructible, but physics were awesome since day one. I played every update since, and I'm still hyped when new content released because I know it will get even more lifelike. The fact they added VR last year is awesome, thank you BeamNG developers!
beamng drive devs never fail to amaze me. i pirated the game when i was 12 loved it. once i got my first job i bought the game to support the dev. i love this game so much. i owe the devs a beer
So happy they are getting the attention they deserve. I pirated a copy nearly a decade ago and it brought me many hours of entertainment. Finally bought a legit copy once I graduated university
Aw amazing!
Been playing BeamNG since 2006 can't wait till it goes to it's formal glory
crazy that just listening to the playerbase is unique
Now you're the Gabe Follower of Beamng.
they should add more supercars or hypercars, i find that smashing a 1 ton metal rectangle into a wall at 260 mph is quite soothing
Just bought it recently. Beamng is better than all my childhood car games like need for speed, forza and paradise city and many more.
The devs go crazy. Pumping out actually good updates consistently, listening to there community. They are what all game devs should be.
Beamng is literally the best game out there right now. The devs actually listen and fix bugs that they can fix, and they allow people to do anything with mods that they want to.
I 100% agree
this is one of those games i'd happily pay again for. i paid around £15 in 2015 and now have at least 2000 hours. they've made so many updates and additions that it's essentially an entirely different game to the one I bought nearly 10 years ago
ive been playing racing games for years and every time i hop into a racing game 9/10 times its beamng love the game, mods and physics
definitely my favorite dev team out there
