Greetings, offroad enthusiasts!
It's about time Offroad Mechanic Simulator gets another devlog! Are you ready for another round of insider information, straight from the production line? Then get ready and take a look at the progress we've made!
Equipment and inventory management was the name of the game for us these past few weeks. In Offroad Mechanic Simulator, you deal with inventory not only in your own garage but also out in the wilderness, when you're off on one of our test tracks!
Let's start with what you can mount on your cars. As mentioned in the last devlog, you use a computer to order new parts. After you pay for them, they are available in your garage inventory, meaning that you can walk up to any car and attach new items to it. You can do so via a new, handy menu, which lets you choose the location and type of part you want to install on your vehicle. It's super convenient!
Separately from all this, there is also another inventory that you have access to while driving. During a test ride, you can get out of your car and access said inventory by interacting with the trunk. This lets you access a variety of items that can help you get out from a tight spot. With their help, you can lift your car or attach it to a tree so that you can pull yourself out of some thick mud.
Other than that, the game had numerous quality of life improvements. For example, graphics and audio options have been implemented, as well as new camera options. While driving, the player has a number of new settings, that allow them to choose the perspective they want. There are a few different ones to choose from, such as an overhead camera or a zoom on one of your front wheels.
We also implemented a dependency system. This system prevents the player from tampering with parts that are blocked by other car elements. When a player selects a segment that is blocked, the game will highlight all parts that are connected to it. This will be very convenient when you need to repair a specific element that is buried somewhere deep in the hydraulics.
That's everything for this particular devlog. We are moving forward at a steady pace and can't wait to bring you this exciting, new game. If you have any questions about Offroad Mechanic Simulator, feel free to ask them on our official Discord server: https://discord.gg/wnX4tvhASg
