Join us between December 8th and December 11th!
Cyber Monday Bundle -40%
It’s Cyber Monday and for the next 24 hours, our bundle containing Gas Station Simulator and Food Truck Simulator is available at a 40% discount!
With the Black Week arriving, we are now not only offering a new discount on Gas Station Simulator, but also a new bundle with Food Truck Simulator. Save up to 35% on this deal. That is the biggest discount we made on our games so far :)
Sometime in the next year, we will add new customers to the gas station. We always felt the customers could use a lot more depth, say something unique for them, let us in on what they are about, where they are heading etc.
We know we will need a lot more depth for customers for our Road Diner and later for the Motel, so we figured we follow through on the concept of all these working together and implement them in all of them. They are currently being worked on in Road Diner and the folks prepared some more information about them here:
https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1747470/view/5025482135624468074 Have a read and find out what sort of customers will be coming to Gas Station Simulator, too.
In case you missed our recent DevLogs, two games we are working on are Road Diner and Motel. While both are separate games, they are connected with each other as well as Gas Station Simulator. Which makes a lot sense, since they are location close-by. The road diner is just across the highway and the motel will be close to the side of the gas station. When you own any combinations of those games, they will work together, influence each other, provide bonuses and allow you various interesting interactions. This also means that a lot of things we are creating for the road diner and/or the motel will also be adding additional content and features to Gas Station Simulator in order to make this happen.
And now we are going back to working on the Airstrip DLC. We hope to be able to provide you with some interesting stuff about the airstrip in few weeks time as some really cool things are happening in this project we are quite excited about :)
From the feedback so far we noticed you like the airstrip idea, but are also wondering why we went with planes.
There are multiple reasons for that. We figured planes fit nicely into the workflow on the gas station since you are already dealing with fuel and some light repairs. And planes would really work well to provide some variety, especially as they aren’t meant to be a frequent occurrence like cars.
Another reason is to expand on something we started doing. As you might have noticed, by adding Halloween content to the game earlier this week, we also made sure that if you bought the Can Touch This DLC that you see a difference between having the DLC or just the base game.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2137370/Gas_Station_Simulator__Airstrip_DLC/ With the Airstrip DLC we’d like to take it a bit further. As you might know, the rather large Shady Deals DLC is scheduled later next year after Airstrip. What we want to do is having Shady Deals offer some additional content if you also have the Airstrip DLC. Thematically it’s just too good a fit to pass it up. Not many things go so hand in hand with shady deals then small private planes. Every good drug movie teaches us that :P
To get the Shady Deals DLC to use the Airstrip DLC when available is the reason we decided to switch some things around and release it way earlier. There were always two ideas for how to expand the gas station that were on our minds from very early on: an airstrip and a junkyard. We always planned to do those, but never right away, more like way, way later down the road. Before that we wanted to add more conventional content like handling electric vehicles, trucks etc.
This update features new content for Halloween and covers the base game and the Can Touch This DLC.
Base Game
The update adds the following Halloween themed content to the game:
New decorations.
New landmarks.
New wall paint.
A spooky ghost visitor.
Can Touch This DLC
If you have the Can Touch This DLC, this update also adds:
You can now turn the gas station into a spooky mansion.
Lots of spooky decals.
Other
In addition to the Halloween content, there are a few bug fixes as well:
First Party Spot bucket should now correctly display items.
The Dachshund landmark should no longer block the path for RC car mini-game.
Paint splashes from painting roofs should now be correctly spawned on the floor.
It’s now possible to place decorations on roofs.
We added a new employee variant to prevent the situation where you might end up with just 5 employees due to firing the 6th one at some point.
Fixed an issue where an employee might get stuck on top of the cash register.
Halloween stream starting Wednesday
October, 26th aka this Wednesday we’ll launch a new stream showcasing in details all the cool things we have added with the Halloween update. The stream might be quite long since we intend to show you all the decoration and Halloween themes and the update adds quite a lot of them for the base game and the Can Touch This DLC as well.
Join us tomorrow at 19:00 CET and enjoy!
Gas Station Simulator and Animal Shelter
There are a few teams here we have closer relationships with and often when their games are discounted and we are running a discount on ours, we make a bundle and let you know. It's just a way for smaller developers to support each other and let our communities know about it.
So here we are, presenting you a sweet deal on Get Gas Station Simulator, Animal Shelter or both at the lowest price ever:
If you are missing one of the games or the DLC or even don’t have any of them, now is the opportunity to get them at a significantly reduced price in the new bundle. Save up to 29% with this bundle! And to do the bundle's name justice, both games and the DLC are getting Halloween content on October 25th.
Food Truck Simulator gets a large update next week on October, 25th with various improvements to the game and Halloween related content to get you in the mood.
With Halloween and Steam’s Scream Fest just around the corner, we decided to give the gas station some spooky things. There will be landmarks and decorations to fit a Halloween theme, but there is so much more coming. Like how about a ghost visiting your gas station? You're going to love that one.
Just a selected few decorations to show you...
We haven't forgotten the inside, either...
The Can Touch This DLC is also getting some spooky love bringing a set of Halloween themed decals to the gas station, but why stop there? How about changing the entire gas station into a spooky mansion with its own Halloween themes sound ambience?
[I]Yes, that's the gas station as a mansion there...
The Halloween update for Gas Station Simulator is scheduled for next week, October 25th right in time for the Scream Fest.
