computer repair Computer Repair Simulator! A neat idea from 2 two hobbyist

[MimisCRS]

Hello!  We are developing a game with a cool idea! We want to create the first computer repair simulator. We would love to have some feedback or some ideas or both! The game is in a really early stage and we have so many ideas but we are not sure what the people would like to see from such a game. We also hope that i can be used as a learning tool. Somewhere around September to November we will release a playable scenario for testing .

I can see that being used in school.. its a great idea for learning without breaking anything

Well we had an idea about making a gamemode (with physics) that you can break stuff... but it's going to be hard to make

Soft-bodied components would be awesome

Well no, it would make the game more realistic. If people choose to destroy components in it then so be it.

 

It would be good it have some sort of damage on it to reflect real life

Leaking water-cooling?

Good idea !

[Garrett Swindell]

These are all great ideas and can be implemented.  The thought about being able to destroy computer equipment (a different game play mode) I think is a good learning mode where users can try to force parts into the system that are not compatible or will not physically fit.

 

The other idea is that if you are like me and repair computers and servers, there are times where you get frusterated, so I was considering adding "fun" things to the game like dumping water on equipment, smashing it with a hammer...but it is only a consideration after the main game mechanics are completed.

 

We are about to release an alpha test release which needs bug tested if anyone is interested.
