Dear mechanics!
Last time we showed you what we were working on at the time. As our testing process is approaching an end, it’s high time we introduced you to our new system responsible for automatic assembly and disassembly game mode changing and also a system allowing you to disassemble parts that don’t have bolts on them by hand. Check them out and see for yourselves how they are working! We hope that the introduction of those systems will make the gameplay more enjoyable! Make sure to let us know how you like the changes!
Currently, our main goal is to make as many in-game activities as we can fully interactable, minimizing the use of the laser pointer. This update is the first of many updates to come, so make sure to check in frequently! Your suggestions and tips on what would make the game better are of great value to us, so make sure to keep them coming. If you would like to submit your feedback, be sure to join our discord channel, where we keep track of all of your messages and reply on a regular basis (https://discord.gg/46jXGSVdEE). Your engagement really keeps us going and points us in the way leading to Car Mechanic Simulator VR becoming the best game for virtual mechanics!
We want to inform those of you, who up to this point was not satisfied with the level of immersion provided by our game, that we are constantly working on new solutions and various enhancements and we highly encourage you to give our game another go. Truly a lot has changed!
Besides the aforementioned changes, we also implemented a wide range of smaller tweaks which you suggested. For example, the lighting was changed to make the engine chambers brighter and the shadows in overview mode were revamped. Now you will be able to better see which parts require your immediate attention.
Your Steam reviews are of great importance to us and give us an enormous energy boost, so if you like the game and the latest changes, we highly encourage you to write and post your review!
We will soon write to you again and present you with our plans for upcoming changes. See you soon!
