Hello, I am no longer working on GearCity. I suggest you read about our the Feature Bounty System, which was a system to raise funds to improve the UI and artwork in an expansion to GearCity called "GearCity: 2nd Gear". https://www.ventdev.com/fbs
However, the Feature Bounty System is coming to a close because the war in Ukraine has prevented my artist from working on it. Thus he has not been able to generate any new artwork which has caused significant delays to my next game. (Because I am having to cover the funds raised for artwork with heavily discounted programming bounties.)
There is an entirely new car designer in the GearCity: 2nd Gear which resolves many of the issues you mention. However, we don't have any artwork for the new system because of the aforementioned war.
Regular GearCity has approximately $30,000 worth of artwork.
To update GearCity's artwork for the new system would cost $105,000 with my Ukrainian artist.
To add all vehicle bodies planned, would cost $780,500.
Much of the availability of older components and choices to the old designer was due to limited artwork and budget.
I suggest reading up on these bounties:
[Postponed] #2 | Vehicle Body Designer Mk2
Artwork Bounties
[$3000] #111 | Vehicle Size Class
[$1000] #112 | Sports Vehicles | Requires: #57, #114
[$1000] #113 | Luxury Vehicles Classification | Requires: #57, #114
Allowing player logos as decals is a possibility. Adding your logos to the game is pretty easy. Convert an image of your to a DDS file, and stick it in the player logos zip file. I suggest reading the modding manual for a detail how to.
End the war in Ukraine and donate to the FBS and then we'll be able to upgrade the artwork. Otherwise, it ain't going to happen. We only have $4000 in the bank.

Quote:Modular logos: Allow company emblems to be assembled from separate elements and used as hood ornaments, reflecting real automotive branding.

Quote:These changes could be implemented with the current graphics system, and they would allow beautiful, consistent designs from the earliest models up to the 21st century. This would elevate Gear City to a truly complete automotive simulation experience.

"great writers are indecent people, they live unfairly, saving the best part for paper.
good human beings save the world, so that bastards like me can keep creating art, become immortal.
