The game casts players as a traveling gunsmith operating a mobile workshop from the back of a camper van. Players scavenge junk and parts from the wasteland, then use a modular crafting system to assemble handguns, rifles, shotguns, and melee weapons. Interchangeable parts affect each weapon's appearance, value, and performance. Players also clean rust and dirt, repair damage, restore worn components, repaint, and customize firearms to fulfill orders from settlers, mercenaries, and gangs. Clients present different requests and circumstances; players can negotiate prices and suggest optimal weapons. As skills improve, client demands become stricter but rewards increase. The camper van functions as a home, workshop, and transportation, and can be upgraded with new tools and equipment to access more dangerous areas with greater rewards. The Steam store page is live and lists Japanese display support. Playtest participation requests are currently being accepted, with the test date to be announced later.","whyItMatters":"Wasteland Gunsmith Simulator combines the popular workshop-management sim genre with a post-apocalyptic setting, offering a relaxed alternative to combat-focused survival games while still requiring players to navigate a dangerous world for better resources.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eQuest Craft, the indie developer behind the pizza parlor management sim \u003cem\u003ePizza Slice\u003c/em\u003e and the strategy game \u003cem\u003eGhost Keeper\u003c/em\u003e, is handling development and sales for \u003cem\u003eWasteland Gunsmith Simulator\u003c/em\u003e.
