Community Update #13: Working the Workbench and Release Update

Hi Fellow Racketeers,

This time around we'll look at how the work on the workbench is progress (nice stuff Darren) and an updat on release timing.

Working the Workbench

Darren's been doing lots of things, but he's finally got his head out of the lighting game and into going over and putting together Jimmy's Workbench. As a reminder, this is where Jimmy cleans up goods before moving them on to limit his 'Heat' level and hopefully avoid the worst of nosey cops.

Jimmy can upgrade the bench with a range of items that ensure he can improve his ability to reduce the heat of an item. Some upgrades only work on certain item categories (you just can't use the soldering iron on a jacket), whilst some are more universal.

Below is the latest render of the workbench.

Release Timing

I'd like to say we are steaming towards a Q3 release, but I just can't lie to you. With our little part time dev team, real life has just gotten in the way and we have also needed more time on some of the game elements we're working on. Whilst it's all in the name of ensuring you get a polished product, it does mean we need to let it cook as long as it takes.

To that end I hope to give an updated release timeframe in the coming month or so.

Next Community Updates

For next time we'll have a little look at some of the upgrades for the workbench and what each of them do!

Keep hustlin',

Anthony
