Devlog #3 — Something big is coming! 😀👷👨‍🏭

Hello, Manufacturers!👨‍🔧👩‍🔧

This month was a bit of a grind, but honestly one of the most satisfying ones so far. I finally managed to put together a working gameplay loop, which makes the whole project feel like a real factory now, at least in a garage 😅 On top of that, I’ve been busy adding new mechanics — I’m excited to finally share the progress with you. This update isn’t just another small step forward — this time I’ve got something big to show you 😎

Before picking up a quest, make sure to grab the components first

This month I’ve added a brand new contract system for you to dive into. Now you’ll be able to pick up contracts to assemble different types of electronic devices, and every job you complete will reward you with money and reputation.There are several different contractors out there, and each of them is interested in their own kind of electronics. It’s up to you to decide which contracts to take and how to meet their expectations if you want to build your reputation (and your wallet!).

New player on the market

Every contract you complete doesn’t just pay you in cash — it also gives you reputation. The amount you earn depends on the type of device and how many you put together for the contract.

As your reputation level rises, new opportunities will start opening up for you. You’ll unlock access to new contractors, gain licenses for new product blueprints, and even upgrade your workstations to make your assembly process faster and more efficient. The more you prove yourself, the more the world of electronics opens up to you!

Gotta assemble ’em all!

Here’s a little sneak peek at some of the devices and components you’ll soon be able to assemble. Check them out below—each one is different. So, tell me… which one would you be most excited to build? Soon, you’ll actually get the chance!

Demo incomming!


Yes, you heard that right! Soon, you'll be able to try out the game and assembly a few things yourself. Are You excited?

This month has been all about intensive work on the NPC AI. As it turns out, building a system that feels both smart and reliable is a bit more challenging than expected. Instead of showing a bunch of half-finished features, I thought we'd try something a little different this time. Welcome to a behind-the-scenes devlog, where I'll show you what development actually looks…
