<center>Find scrap, repair your home, survive</center>
Scrap is the lifeforce of scraplands. With it you can build, repair, or barter your way around the region.
You are returning home from a scrap run.

###Game Rules Brief
Each time you explore you will expend 1 fuel. You may explore further from home, or towards home.
Each time you reach a new area you will come across areas to explore. Those marked Red are high-risk, high-reward. Those marked in Green are low-low reward. You may ignore the area all together.
Be mindful of your fuel.
Return to your garage drop off scrap to your garage.

<center><b>Narrative</b></center>
You will go on supply runs looking for cars, supplies, contacts and local events. Generate fame, gather scraps to upgrade your vehicles. At least that's the grand idea. Lets see what we get done in the time we have left.

//Scraplands// is inspired by games such as //Everspace// and //FTL//. I created a similar game Pumpkin Patch for Spoopy Jam summer 2019. Learning from a youtuber named Dan Cox who has a fantastic tutorial series on twine.
The intent is to have a nice little press your luck kind of game. The player doesn't know that their house is being damaged as they drive through the //Scraplands//.
It needs a lot more testing and bug discovery. Coming from a software tester myself, it bugs me how many bugs are still in it. The base idea is there, the functions are there.
If I were to polish this game it would have a bit of a story element with it. Perhaps breaking the
