⚙️ New updates + Demo in Steam Next Fest June 15 — Full release July 27

Hey everyone,

Big week for Scrap Yard Idle — wanted to update you on what's coming.

⚙️ The full version of Scrap Yard is in its final stages of development

The demo shows the early production loop, but the full game has four machine tiers that unlock progressively:

• Crusher — breaks down raw scrap into base materials

• Separator — refines materials into purer components

• Assembler — combines components into advanced parts

• Packager — prepares final products for maximum value

Each machine changes how you manage resources and where the bottlenecks appear. The further you get, the more complex (and satisfying) the optimization becomes.

🎮 DEMO IN STEAM NEXT FEST — JUNE 15 TO 22

If you haven't tried the demo yet, Next Fest is the perfect moment. It's free, no purchase needed, and you'll get a feel for the core production loop before the full release.

📅 FULL RELEASE: JULY 27

Thank you for wishlisting — you'll be notified the moment it launches.

— David Seco (HeadArrow)
