Car Company Tycoon Game Called Gear City Now Available in Early Access Stage [w/Video]

There have been a few car tycoon games made over the years, including one that was called just that and wasn’t half-bad. Now we have a new game that’s popped up, bearing the familiar tycoon title traits with hints of Automation – it’s called GearCity.

Scouring the web, I was only able to find one YouTuber who’s done a video series on it, and from what I gather, he’s somehow connected to the developers, as well.

Basically, the game allows you to create your own car company, starting as early as 1900, which you can run as you see fit, meeting the demands of the market with relative freedom as to the direction you want to go in.

It’s really rather complex, and sadly it’s not got the greatest of user interfaces; it is semi-intuitive, by the looks of it, and it is subject to change, since the game is so early in its development cycle.

Check out the video posted below, and if you like it, there are at least half a dozen more (episodes) like it showing the more advanced stages of gameplay; second video is the official trailer (probably…).

The main features it currently offers are:

120 Years (1440 Months/Turns) of gameplay.

274 Cities with historical economic and population data.

300 Marques inspired by real companies.

29 Vehicle types

200 Moddable vehicles

56 Vehicle Accessories
