Greetings offroad enthusiasts!
Time to show you some of the latest changes in
Offroad Mechanic Simulator! There are three main features that this devlog will address. Of course, a lot more happened behind the scenes since we released our demo. We will share more information in future devlogs - or, if there's anything specific you want to know about, let us know in the comments!
Let's start with the garage!
This is the hub for every player. It's divided into a few separate areas:
- Workshop - this is where the magic happens and where you will spend most of your time. You start with room for just 1 car. However, once you unlock additional areas in the workshop, you will be able to fix and upgrade up to 3 different cars at the same time!
- Garage - you need a place to store your cars and that's where it is. You start with just two slots but as you make progress, you will gradually unlock 6 more.
- Storage - as the name suggests, this is where you can find car parts that you own
- Car wash - it's not unusual for a car to return dirty from an offroad adventure. This is where you can remove dirt from any angle, to prevent any car parts from corroding.
- Chip tuning - are you in need of some additional horsepower? Then that's where you need to go!
Transferring cars between stations is very simple and can be done with just a few clicks:

Next, let's discuss the car wash!
Nobody likes a dirty car. Thing is, in your job of servicing offroad vehicles, practically every car you get your hands on is going to be covered in mud. This isn't just a problem because of the aesthetics. Dirty parts can corrode and degrade in quality over time. So always remember to clean your car if you take it to a windy desert canyon or force it through a muddy river!

Finally, it's time to talk about chip tuning!
This is a new feature that will let you squeeze out that little bit of extra power from your engines. To start tweaking the settings, you must move a car to a separate room in your garage, where you have the equipment necessary for chip tuning. Once everything is in place, you must use a nearby laptop and tinker with the engine by completing a simple minigame. As with everything else, this feature is based on things you do in real life!

Of course, all of the above GIFs are not final, we are still tweaking the visual of this game and everything is subject to change. That being said, what are your thoughts on this devlog? Let us know on our official Discord server!
