DONE, I'm a senior

 

55 euros less to go now :cheeese:

[MephistoRacing]

Stop giving them money! Let it last a week longer!

[Ryzza5]

16,480 to go

[MephistoRacing]

Aaaaaand the bearer of bad news is back :P

 

This is going hella fast. Must be last minute panic

[Ryzza5]

lol everyone was actually staying up late for the final countdown (like NYE) but most of them have finally gone to bed now.

 

I could go and create 16 more accounts to spoil it for them but I won't :)

[Guest MrLolololXD]

Create 15 more, just to watch them panic to the extreme. :evil:

The proverbial door on the proverbial ark has been shut. 13 months since C.A.R.S. was first revealed and now it's completely funded. Congratulations to everyone who's contributed so far, and commiserations to those who've missed out due to circumstances or laziness. We'll try to make sure it turns out to be the racing game you've always wanted. :)

[MephistoRacing]

Full and Team member are still open :oook:

[TIMELESS]

I'm certainly hopeful that it'll be good. If it turns out how it sounds it won't get boring like Forza. Shame I couldn't donate enough to recieve a free copy, but hey, that's what unemployment is for :p

Ian's just had his Finance manager post up a returns spreadsheet that has a more realistic view of costs that eat into profits and reflects the updates with the next-gen consoles.

 

WMD Forum.

 

We only need ~645k EUR to break even. 3m sales sounds like a safe target, although 5m would be a nice goal that's not impossible to attain.

Enter how much you spent on tool packs in the green square towards the bottom right.

Also note if you change the Platform %ages to make the next gen consoles higher, and PC/Steam lower, then that also reduces our profit, since we get 50% of next-gen profits as opposed to 70% of other platforms.

Sales figures that you could potentially use as a guide for the spreadsheet:

 

Shift 1 is probably close to 7 million. Shift 2 was over 5.

 

If pCARS sells as well as Shift 2 (why shouldn't it?) then I'll be a very happy bunny :D

(returns in the ballpark of 50k+ AUD)

OH MY GOD

[Ryzza5]

I'm not entirely sure how this has happened (and of course it's not an entire overview) but it's good news nonetheless

 

[Ryzza5]

Just checked my online bank account and I've received my first payment, which is very welcome given my current work situation.

[Ozzmcom]

yep I got payed today as well. Pretty much took back what I payed 2 years ago.

[Ryzza5]

Premium brand Baked Beans for Andy tonight!!!

[Eudemon]

Haha not quite, that money went to paying for this place.

[TIMELESS]

Yup, think I got like 11 yoyos, so I guess that pays for the toolpack that I bought, now if they could just triple that so I could get the game price back :lol:

[hassan1995]

So no new cars are going to be purchased? :cheeky:

[Ryzza5]

I bought the new motorbike, remember?

v this one v

[Ryzza5]

The next payment is expected to be made on December 7th (this date can change, if needed), and it should be completed within few days

Really wish I had the plums to put more than 100 euros into it now. *flap*

[TIMELESS]

You must still be getting some decent payouts though Mells?

 

Anyone know what percentage you get for what you paid/what toolpack?

 

I'm an idiot. I've read the post now. :fp:

[Ryzza5]

After this payment we'll have a 171% ROI

 

It's not as insanely high as we thought might be possible, but it's also certainly nothing to sneeze at. You just have to work out how to declare it for taxation purposes.
