It’s me again – your marketing guy. It’s been a while since we’ve talked about the Shady Deals DLC and seeing that many of you have been eagerly waiting to get some more details regarding this DLC, today’s devlog will be all about that. I’m counting on your feedback in the comments down below, but please keep in mind that the materials that you’re gonna see are still work-in-progress and the final shape might differ from what you’ll see today. So, without further ado, let’s talk about the first gang that you’re gonna meet in Shady Deals DLC.
Let’s talk about some of your main tasks in Shady Deals ✅
Earn the respect of the local gangs 🕵️
One of your tasks will be to mediate between competing gangs. One of them is the Coyotes gang – Motorcycle rebels in the style of Sons of Anarchy, ready to do whatever it takes to maintain their territory and enforce their rules. Gain their reputation with the gangs by hiding their illegal activities and organizing events for them. The higher your reputation, the more willingly gangs will assist you, but they'll also demand more.
Expand your empire📈
Your goal is to create a thriving pub where alcohol is always on the shelves, and fights only happen in designated areas. Successfully mediate between gangs, and your influence will grow, bringing greater benefits both for you and gangs. But be careful – the higher your reputation the higher the demands will be from the local gangs.
Coyotes Backstory 📒
Raised in the southern parts of Colorado, Coyotes owe their origins to the Lewis brothers who have always dreamed about breaking free. Though their childhood was tough, it had a greater influence on their upbringing which taught them the determination and the value to the family. Thanks to that they’ve managed to venture to the open waters and their reputation as bold and sometimes even brazen gangsters.

It's been a while since we last talked about the Shady Deals DLC, and we think it's high time to unveil a bit of the curtain of what's going on in the shadows. Get ready to be immersed in a nightlife that never sleeps - All the Dots Pub, a place where boredom is a foreign concept and the night is always young.
All the Dots Pub is the heart of this DLC, a bustling epicenter of late-night skirmishes, gangs, and rivers of spilled alcohol. Imagine a place where the air is saturated with the spirit of rebellion, the floors are sticky with the remnants of the night gone by, and every evening is a story waiting to be written. Drunken customers, disgruntled bartenders, and busy staff set the stage for an experience unlike any other. And what could be more enticing than the chance to run this chaotic haven yourself?
Let's delve into the finer details of what makes the Shady Deals a must-have gas station simulator:
First, All the Dots Pub: This is no ordinary pub; it's your battlefield, kingdom, and challenge. Amid the pride and alcohol fumes, you'll encounter thugs who seem to come out of the shadows. All the Dots Pub is a melting pot of history, conflict, and opportunity, offering a unique blend of management and mayhem.
As we mentioned thugs, how about them:
Secondly, the Gangs: Coyotes, Haters, Bears, Clowns, Security. The streets outside your pub are a chessboard, and the gangs are the players. We're only scratching the surface here, but expect fierce competition as various groups vie for control and influence. Each gang brings its own flavor to the mix, creating a dynamic street scene that will directly impact your pub's fortunes.
What can you expect from these shadowy figures and rival gangs? Without giving too much away, let's just say that managing a pub in the midst of this will require more than just serving drinks. It will be about forging alliances, understanding the delicate balance of power, and maybe, just maybe, taking a side.
The Shady Deals is a deep dive into the underbelly of nightlife, where every decision can tip the scales of power. It’s a world where the night never ends, the drinks never stop flowing, and the stories never cease to amaze.
Ease Chunchumanchu's wrath and lead your gas station empire to prosperity🔥
Hey, Gas Jockeys! ⛽
Welcome to another development update related to Gas Station Simulator - Tidal Wave DLC. Previously I’ve talked in-detail about the Mortal Business system which will be one of the most important mechanics in the upcoming DLC. Feel free to check it out here if you’d like to learn more.
In today’s devlog I’ll introduce you to the Chunchumanchu God himself. After reading this development update you’ll know exactly what to do if you want to keep the Chunchumanchu’s anger at bay. And trust me – don’t make the god angry, you won’t like him when he is angry. Without further ado, let’s roll! 🔥
How does the Chunchumanchu work?🌋
Running your gas station on a tropical island is not an easy task. Especially when there is a local god watching over your actions. In Gas Station Simulator - Tidal Wave DLC you want to make sure that Chunchumanchu is constantly happy by providing your services with proper care.
Every single action that leads to an accident will make the local god angry, resulting in the anger bar filling up (the bar itself will replace popularity, by the way). In addition, if your customers won’t be served with proper care, the anger bar will fill as well. Don’t worry tho’ – you will get a warning every single time from the Chunchumanchu itself as soon as you cross a certain threshold.
If you manage to fulfill the bar 100%, the volcano will erupt causing your customers to run. In addition, if you fail to pay back the loan, a volcano eruption will also take back some of your decorations. Think about it as an unruly biker but much, much bigger.
But every cloud has a silver lining right? It’s the same here. There are ways to please Chunchumanchu if you somehow manage to cross the line a little bit further than you should have.
For instance, you can collect special coconuts and sacrifice them in the altar which will speed up the recovery process. The further the distance, the better score you will get. By the way – the altar looks amazing, don’t you think? Looks good enough to throw a party - and a good song and dance at the party spot will help keep the god at bay. Finally, every time you make sure a client is happy with the services of your station, the god may nod his head in approval, calming down just a little bit.
Section for our friends and other titles 🔥
Before I finish, let me quickly share some exciting news from us and our friends over at Duality Games. So first thing’s first – I just wanted to let you know that we’ve just released a brand-new demo for our other game – Winter Survival. I understand that most of your prefer to spend some casual time while running your own gas station empire, but if some of you fancy more of a challenging gameplay, give Winter Survival a try 👇
Second of all, I’m thrilled to announce that we’ve become the publisher of Superstore Simulator. I’m excited to tell you a little bit more about it in the future, but for now head over to the freshly announced Steam page and get as much details as you need.
And last but not least, make sure to check Barn Finders as well. From what I’ve heard they’ve been cooking somethin spicy recently, and if you combine that with a special deal that they’re running right now you’ve got the mix that you don’t want to miss.
And that’s it for today, fellow jockeys! So, how do you like this development update? What would you like to see next? Maybe there is something that you’d like to change? Don’t hesitate and throw your feedback in the comments below. I’m always here to help you, folks, so the more info I gather from you, the better our communication will be. If you want to stay in the loop of everything Tidal Wave DLC related, consider adding it to your wishlist 🙇Until the next devlog!

Having said that, I’m so happy to see all of your comments and feedback under the recent announcements. If you still feel like you need to throw something at us, don’t hesitate to do that in the comments.
Today tho’, I have a little surprise for you – soon you’ll be able to expand your gas station empire with a new set of tools and mechanics thanks to Gas Station Simulator – Car Junkyard DLC. I have a sneaking suspicion that you want to learn more about the freshly announced DLC, so why don’t you just check it out for yourselves?
And if you thought that’s the only good piece of information for today, how about the release date for Gas Station Simulator - Car Junkyard DLC? It’s coming sooner than you might have expected! After the Tidal Wave DLC which is gonna be available in Q1 2024, Car Junkyard will follow in Q2 2024. How cool is that?
And to finish this announcement with a bang, Gas Station Simulator - Shady Deals DLC will follow in Q3 2024! So in other words – one DLC per quarter which means you’re gonna have a plethora of new content to delve into. Soon your gas station empire will grow even further thanks to all of these content updates.
Please keep in mind, that these estimates are just that: estimates. We also have quite a few updates for the base game on our to-do list and a whole free DLC that might slightly alter our timetable.
And that’s it for today! How do you like the whole Car Junkyard idea? What would you like to see in this DLC? Don’t hesitate and leave your comments under this announcement.
