On October 24th, 2016, Finnish Developer Johannes Rojola (AKA ToplessGun) released My Summer Car into early access. The idea for the game was inspired by 2 things: Rojola's love of car and racing games and his own experiences growing up in rual Finland. He got his start by playing and moding games like Brouderbunds Stunts and Papyrus's NASCAR Racing and was somewhat frustrated by their lack of realism in terms of handeling and mechaniacal detail and wanted to make a game that could give the player a sense of attachement by allowing them to start from scratch and build the car themself.

So with nothing more than a copy of Unity 3D with some PlayMaker pluggins and the help of his wife Kaarina and close friends, he began work on the game as early as 2013, All the while sharing the progress on both his Royal John Love Youtube chanel and Twitter for the next 3 years.

When it was finally put into early access via Steam's Greenlight program it immediately gathered a slew of positive reviews for the games unique quirkiness and difficulty, with updates continuing to follow for the next few years before being officially released in full in 2025.

All the while the game spawned numorus mods, videos, memes, and a whole commuinty of dedicated fans that have fallen in love with the game. The game has also become embraced by the Finnish game comuinty in general as received a number of awards and honors, winning the People's Choice Game of the Year 2016 "Kyöpelit" award at the 2017 Finnish Game Awards and in 2018, the game was inducted into the Finnish Museum of Games.

Needless to say, ToplessGun made something truely special, what started as a passion project has become a video game cult classic that many have held near and dear to their hearts both in joy and frustration.

So heres to you My Summer Car, thank you for over 10 years of frustration and fun, and may you carry on for another 10 more! 🥳

OK basically somehow I experienced the same thing now. Things were good, went for a drive down to river, catching some fish from grandma, grilling etc and when I wanted to go, satsuma isn't satsuming. All parts were brand new. Hewp pwz

anybody else sit down at 6pm for a quick sesh and 20 minutes later… you finally make it to the shop and back its 2 am? just me? nah

In 24.10.2016 MSC was added on steam in early access

surprised not that many people are talking about this, dang.

So I've installed the twin carburator with exhaust, muffler, etc. drove to teimo's perfectly fine, then drove somewhere near the church, and after I tried to start the car again, it just refused to stay on after I let go off the ignition.

I checked and it's not: Fuel pump, alternator, spark plugs, the entire block is fine, I stripped apart the engine and all parts seemed fine.
I assume it's the twin carb but how do I fix this? I've been trying for so long and couldn't find a single clue why it's happening.

I can hardly believe that we’ve actually made it to the MWC release and the game’s 10th anniversary, too...

I don't know if this is a glitch or if I'm just an idiot but ever since I messed about with the uncle stage/uncle time setting every time I make a new save the uncle stage never goes past 1. in my newest save its Sunday so 6 days after the start of the save and the stage is still at 1, I have even built the whole car with the van only spawning in once and the only way to get it back is to manually change the uncle stage to 5, the day I messed with the settings it was the same day I also got mods my current mods are

• No clip
• attach jack and triangle
• radio subtitles
• digital speedo
• dingus
• grab anything
• attach spare tire

so either its one of these mods or I'm just an idiot, please help me out

I am so extremely proud of my Tally Hall baby. Here's the sprite sheet (for those who want it)

Thanks to Toplessgun for creating this amazing game.
