I still need to update the roadmap on the website - we have been planning out what a 1.0 release of Wrench looks like. We aren't happy with the current game design and we think this new direction is both achievable for our two person team and a better experience overall for everyone. Development so far has been a process of putting out fires and adding features but they haven't been building to a cohesive final design.

-~+ Roadmap Update +~-

After some internal discussions to give us clarity on what a full version of Wrench looks like, we would like to share our new direction on completing the game.

The full version of Wrench will bring multiplayer support and focus on the creativity and problem solving in building and tuning car assemblies. Maintenance will no longer be a primary focus. The core assembly experience and object handling will remain, but the game loop will be changed completely. We want to shift to player ownership, pride, and self-directed goals instead of grindy progression.

The next major update to Wrench will include :
- Multiplayer : Able to join another player’s garage and work together on an assembly.
- Game Loop : New game loop focusing on creativity and problem solving.
- V8 engine

Adding multiplayer support and replacing the game loop requires many internal changes, so we don’t have a target date now. We will post relevant progress on discord and other platforms.

The full version of Wrench will include :
- Engine Tuning : Dyno measurements and tuning to optimize engine performance.
- Chassis Tuning : Tune alignment to optimize for specific assemblies and tracks.
- Street cars : Multiple variations based on a shared unibody chassis.
- Parts : Focusing on parts to support creativity and problem solving.
- Garage Customization : Place a variety of props to make your garage space unique.
- Localization : This will be added when we believe the text content of the game has stabilized.
- Mod Support : Potentially developed after Wrench exits early access, but we remain committed to delivering this feature.
