Hi Kit! Say hi to uhh.. Kit? 😅

Before you pre-order a new Apple device, consider repairing your current one. You can make it feel like new, save money, and keep another device from becoming e-waste. #AppleEvent #RighttoRepair

Head to our Press Release to find links to the open letter to Microsoft and policy demands to the Commission. #RepairDay #RightToRepair #Ecodesign #NoPlannedObsolescence #Windows10 repair.eu/news/four-we...

Fun fact: In Kit Fix-it, money is called “Whiskers”. We thought it’d be a cute fox-themed currency. It will be the most important resource, as it determines the growth and success of your repair shop. Eventually, there will be a bunch of shops with shopkeepers to meet and talk to! 🦊

Alright, a tiny update, we've added a basic shop so you can buy parts for repair. This isn't a huge feature addition but important nonetheless for the workbench rewrite. Repairs will require preparing items before being able to start. We're 2 tasks away from the actual repair game! #gamedev #repair

Some of the game devs among you might have noticed a new update for @godotengine.org has dropped a few days ago. Of course we've already migrated to the newest version, and we're already enjoying the benefits: Clear console cases with outlines!

It's been a while, new feature: Delivery System We've completed all Milestone 1 repair shop core systems! 🎉 🤯 Thank you to everyone for the support thus far ❤️ So! - Uhm.. what's this video showing here? #gamedev #repair 1/10

While i was working on @kit-fix.it i suddenly had the urge to check some statistics on the project. Turns out we're at roughly 243 classes, with a total of 7000 lines of self-written code actively used during Runtime. We're maybe 60% done with the first Milestone/Skeleton build. I'm so excited :D

New feature: Objective System We're piecing together the backend of the game, system by system! This time we're introducing a system that adds Objectives (aka. Missions/Quests/etc.). ... 1/4 #gamedev #indiedev

New feature: Mailing System How do you get repair jobs? Well, over mail of course! You can accept jobs, events or transact money for example. + Created Mailing System + Player can now receive and read mail + Player can accept different mail attachments ... 1/2 #gamedev #indiedev

Jokes on you i already destroyed it @kit-fix.it

Smiley button to the ears, yes or no?

** Next Update! ** Interaction system overhaul is pretty much done!! Here's a tiny changelog: + Player can now be spawned and is not scene dependent anymore + Player will be reset to the spawn point when the day starts + Player now uses a state machine to block unwanted interactions 1/4

New player interaction system is working, just gonna adjust a few more things, incorporate a few assets, then i’ll post a showcase video.

Repairability is a choice, if you’re sick of manufacturers locking your hardware out for trying to repair and renew, vote with your wallet and support repair-first businesses. Check out our favorites: @frame.work computers and @fairphone.com phones! #RightToRepair #NotSponsored

The Framework 12 might be the most repair-friendly laptop we’ve ever opened. Seriously. It’s shockingly easy to take apart, and for a touchscreen convertible, that’s rare. It earned a 10/10 on our repairability scale thanks to clever engineering choices:

Texas Right to Repair bill passes, heads to the governor’s desk

Washington has passed a new wheelchair right-to-repair law, requiring manufacturers to give users and repair shops access to parts and tools. Advocates say the bill is a major win for disability rights. @mayatizon reports here: soseaem.org/4jTVGyt #SeattleNews

It's been a while since the last update, here's some recent tests. There's no actual tool mechanics yet but you can already assemble and disassemble things by clicking on parts. @kit-fix.it #indiegame

Suri: “We care about the planet.” Also Suri: Glues the battery in. Reminder: if it’s glued shut, it’s not repairable. If it’s not repairable, it’s not sustainable.

"Right to Repair" by Louis Rossmann (2025) www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ol3...

Although I support copyright I'm also a huge fan and supporter of Free and Open Source Software (both the ideals and offer financial support to the initiatives and people I believe in). Louis Rossman and his fight for Right to Repair, data privacy and against forced arbitration is noteworthy.

Been working on @kit-fix.it again! There’s slow but steady progress on the assembly repair game mechanics. In the meantime i also cleaned up some old code. You can inspect workbenches so far and they can hold items. I‘ll update you once there‘s more to show visually.

We got featured in a fanzine! Check out the small interview on this next issue of “Between the Scanlines”

They said they make a repair game- - How accurate? Yes

One more update for those that liked how the visual novel is coming together. Let's just say it got EVEN BETTER 😎 Make sure to follow @kit-fix.it if you want the newest updates, we also have a Discord if you want to be annoyed and (sid)poked by me for every single new feature. #indiedev #godot
