Update Speculation thread

Gabester has been pretty quiet since his RSI. It sounded like he was doing more consulting than designing since then, and in the podcast in December Jared introduced himself as "vehicle lead".

 

There's multiple missing body styles

 

What's that ?

 

repetitive strain injury.

and since then ive been wondering if gabe is still in the team.
sounds like what he had was pretty bad.

really hope hes doing better these days..

 

Is that why he was not online for a while?

 

all i know is his rsi injury.
im just somebody else lol. idk anything about what he did.

 

Ah ok, i just found it strange he was offline for a year and he sprung up suddenly

 

He's been online all of the time. He just hasn't posted anything for two years, which is still a bit odd.

 

The other week his account said he was last seen logged in on August 2020

 

Maybe soon he will be active again

 

Must have been someone else, but I did see a relatively inactive user log in every week or so, even though they haven't posted since 2017-ish. To be fair, his profile said Aug 2021 instead of 2020.

 

*Developer´s private life and health situation speculation thread*...

 

why

we just saw that the developers are working on a supercar, i imagine that's their main focus for the year or so.

 

No need to speculate

 

Obviously but you don't see utes and some of the other missing bodystyles everywhere, Minivans are everywhere.

 

This is the update speculation thread. Just saying “I think they will add x in the next update” instead of “I want them to add x in the next update” doesn’t make it speculation. Nothing to speculate? Just don’t. Only speculate about confirmed things or things with evidence.

 

I say only one thing: non-unique

 

My estimate for how much power the new car will make is between 800 - 900 horsepower

 

That's a bit too much, in my opinion. 500-600hp is more reasonable for most of the configs, similiar to what Lamborghini, Ferrari & Maserati do with their cars. After that, you could have custom configs (drag?) with 800 to 1000hp. The new Civetta looks to "just" be a supercar, so more than 600hp is not really logical

 

Hey some hyper cars have over 1000hp so XR8guy is right that would be good
