Car Manufacture is a production combining economic strategies and simulation games, in which we run our own car factory. The game was developed by the Polish studio Stereo Games, and its release was handled by the company PlayWay.

Mechanics

In Car Manufacture we observe the action from a bird's eye view. We start the game at the beginning of the 20th century, with only a few thousand dollars on our account and big dreams. Using quite modest means, we set up our first car factory, create a simple production line and hire our first employees, to then release our debut car on the market.

Over time, not only does the number of zeros on our account gradually increase, but we are also introduced to new technologies, trends and opportunities. In order to keep up with them, we need to build more factories, optimize assembly lines to maximize the efficiency of the production process, and also conduct research (it includes things related to automation). To achieve success, it is also necessary to take care of brand recognition by investing in advertising, participating in industry events or sponsoring racing drivers.

For the development of our business, we need money, and consequently - our cars must sell well. We need to carefully observe customers' preferences and monitor how much they can spend in order to be able to quickly respond to changes taking place on the market and set the prices of our vehicles at the appropriate level.

The needs of our employees, who vary in terms of statistics and professions, are also significant. They have their own preferences and do not hesitate to fight for their rights. This makes skillful human resource management and caring for our work force one of the top priorities.
