About this game
Founded in 2012, Crash Effects Inc. has specialized in helping vehicle manufactures design and test the vehicles of tomorrow! Now it's your turn to take the seat of a Vehicle Crash Test Engineer and design the safe rides of tomorrow!
Build It!
Build your design from the wheels up sparing no detail untouched in the design dome. Meet the specifications required by the manufacturer's mission or build your own crazy creations. With no details left to spare, everything from the type of vehicle frame used to the paint color of the tailgate is up to you! With over 150+ vehicle parts and many more to come the possibilities are endless!
Stage It!
Prepare for impact! Well not just yet. As an official Crash Test Engineer you will need to set the stage for your momentous event. Configure the crash floor with a variety of cement barriers, blockades, barrels and a few other wacky items. Maneuver the 750 ton portable barrier into its final resting position. Aim the high speed cameras placed throughout the facility to ensure every angle of impact is captured. There's even a tunnel that can be moved into one of five possible angles of attack!
Load Em Up!
In the vehicle bay, configure the vehicle selections for impact. Place five different types of crash test equipment on your crash test subjects. To buckle or not to buckle is up to you, with four unique crash test dummies. You choose when and where our friend "Steve" the dummy gets seated. You can even bring his whole family along for the ride too!
5.4.3.2.1!
Right then, Let it rip! Flip the switch to engage the cinematic stage lighting. Press the start button and send your creations hurtling down the crash test halls at speeds over 60 MPH or 100 KPH! Let the carnage unfold at your own pace: in slow motion or high speed. Watch as the glass breaks, metal crumples, airbags deploy, and vehicle parts fly!
Grab the Data!
Once the lights come back on, it's time to collect the critical impact data. Use the Measurement Master M2000 to record changes to your creation's shape after the crash. Download the onboard crash data from the Data Logger and Crash Test Dummies to determine if your occupants survived. Finally compile your results and see how your vehicle creation’s ratings match up. Only then, will you see whether or not you have what it takes to be a Crash Effects Inc. Crash Test Engineer!
Happy Crash Testing!

DEV VLOG 3.0 : Crash Test Dummies
Happy Halloween Crash Test Engineers! Crash Test Jake back with another installment of the Crash Effects Inc. Development Vlog. Today we're going to talk about the high tech Crash Test Dummies you will get to use in game. These sophisticated pieces of equipment are at your disposal to test and evaluate the impacts of crashes on the human body. The dummies are lined with all sorts of sensors that measure various metrics in order to capture the extent of damage during an impact. They are very sensitive so keep that in mind when placing these things as they capture even the slightest changes in velocity. You can place these dummies in the seats of your vehicle prior to executing a crash in the Vehicle Bay. When setting up your dummies for evaluation you can give them names, weights, height profiles, whether they were buckled up during impact, occupations, relationship status... Ok so maybe not the last two but we are working on that tech to make them more personable. There are various configurations of dummies that can be seated including: Male Crash Test Dummy Female Crash Test Dummy Seated Child Crash Test Dummy Baby in a Car Seat Crash Test Dummy (Included in future release stay tuned) Data Collection Enough of the chit chat, let's show how we use them. In the gif below I just picked up and threw Crash Test Steve here onto that Electric Forest Runner's windshield we showed off at Next Fest 22' to create some data. Thank you for the applause I've been working out with the Hulk lately! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40560744/b9536e8ae9fcfa611331ed34b315adf571e15476.gif All we need to do now is walk up to him after a crash test and extract the data to our work tablet by pressing the Interact button to dump the data collected. Dummy Evaluation Now, once we have collected the data from him we just need to open our work tablet up and select the Data Evaluation Tab to see the data collected from all of our dummies. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40560744/b0fe8be6a3e80cfe7bc802c73913f2a1cde3b9cb.g...Read full article on Community Announcements (CodeStormStudios)AnnouncementsOfficial

DEV VLOG 1.0: The Facility Map
Hey there, Crash Test Jake here! As promised and backed by popular demand I am excited to bring you our first Dev-Vlog update into the work the team has been doing on the game! In this first dev-vlog installment I will be showing off the first iteration of the in-game map! Working as a crash test engineer, you will be assigned a variety of tasks to ensure that the vehicle you build is road worthy! Different vehicle designs will require different types of tests to be preformed. Thankfully the Crash Effects Inc. proving grounds has all the test equipment you need to do this successfully. In the game you will be able to access different parts of the facilities using your engineering tablet. From here you can teleport between the Vehicle Design Dome to the Crash Test Hall and many more spaces. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40560744/490f0f1a3d7914fe376f703e8b464fc00ad22609.png As we expand the game in future releases, new parts of the map will become unlocked to preform new types of testing. Special DLC facility add-ons will also be made available to add new unique content experiences! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40560744/de05ea43971f3e88a083130a216e5e01cfd4a982.png Stay tuned and I will be back in a couple weeks with a special development video vlog that I can't wait to show off!
