Devlog: Career Mode #2 – Tools, Deals, and Deeper Gameplay
[p]Hey Renovators! 👋[/p][p]In our last devlog, we revealed the upcoming Career Mode – a brand new way to experience Arena Renovation, where you can build your own renovation business, buy venues, and host events.[/p][p]Today, we want to dive a bit deeper into some of the core systems we’re working on for this mode. These new mechanics will add more strategy, realism, and—most importantly—fun to your renovation journey.[/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p][/p][h2]🛠️ Buying and Managing Your Equipment[/h2][p]In Career Mode, your success will depend not just on your skills, but also on the tools you use.
You’ll be able to purchase a variety of equipment. Each piece of equipment will give you different working time and precision. But that’s not all – tools wear out over time. You’ll need to monitor their condition and decide when to replace, or take the risk of working with less efficient gear.
Choosing the right equipment for the job—and factoring in its condition—will become an important part of your contract estimation and profit calculation.[/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p][/p][h2]📋 Choosing and Negotiating Contracts[/h2][p]We’re also introducing a new contract system, complete with a dedicated UI that lets you browse available renovation jobs across different venues.[/p][p]Each contract will specify:[/p]
Maybe you think the client is underestimating the scope of work, or maybe you know your tools can handle it faster—either way, you’ll have a chance to push for a better deal. Of course, negotiations come with risk: push too hard, and the client might walk away or your costs might be higher than profit.[/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p][/p][h2]🎮 More Fun, More Tools, More Freedom[/h2][p]Career Mode isn’t just about spreadsheets and management—it’s still a renovation game at heart. We’re adding new tools (such as presented boom lifter), interactions, and mechanics that make every job feel more hands-on and satisfying. New specialized tools make the process more dynamic and rewarding.[/p][p]You’ll feel the difference between working with a cheap, second-hand pressure washer and a brand-new industrial-grade one. Every upgrade will bring you closer to running the ultimate renovation company.[/p][p][/p][p]![]()
[/p][hr][/hr][p][/p][p]As always, we’d love to hear your thoughts:
💡 What kind of tools would you like to see in the game?
💬 Would you negotiate for every contract, or take the safe deals?[/p][p]Your feedback helps shape Arena Renovation: Career Mode, and we can’t wait to show you more soon![/p][p]See you in the next update, Renovators! 👷♂️✨[/p][p]
