About This Game

Summer is here, and the beach needs you!

Leave the office stress behind and immerse yourself in the aroma of the sea, firewood, and fresh fish. In Espetero Simulator, you take charge of the most coveted espeto boat on the coast. Your mission: master an ancient tradition, keep the most demanding diners happy, and turn your humble beach stall into the ultimate temple of the espeto.

But don't get too comfortable, the life of an espetero is no walk on the beach. The fire is roaring, customers are getting impatient, and the poniente wind can ruin your masterpiece in a matter of seconds. It’s time to sweat!

Key Features

• High-Precision Skewering Physics: Skewer the sardines one by one through the back, right under the spine, and with the curve facing upward. One wrong move, and your fish will fall apart over the embers.

• Dynamic Fire & Wind Simulation: The secret lies in the distance and the angle. Plant the bamboo skewers in the sand according to the wind direction so the smoke doesn't blind you and the fish cooks evenly. Don't forget to find that perfect pinch of salt!

• Chiringuito Time-Management: Manage orders from a colorful cast of characters. From locals who know exactly how they want their espeto, to clueless tourists who will try to ask for aioli or ketchup for their sardines (serve them at your own risk!).

• Upgrade Your Stall: Spend your tips on upgrading your gear. Get better skewers, premium wood and coal, bigger boats, umbrellas to beat the heat, and music to liven up the atmosphere.

• Campaign & Endless Modes: Survive a full summer season from the quiet days of June to the chaotic, scorching month of August, or see how long you can last in the relentless "Rush Hour" endless mode.

Warning to Sailors: This game may cause severe cravings for fresh fish, an intense urge to order an ice-cold drink, and a sudden desire to smell like olive woodsmoke.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

As this is a solo-developed project, I have utilized generative AI assistants for the writing, debugging, and structuring of the game's programming code.

Additionally, AI has been used in a very minor and complementary capacity for some secondary environmental visual elements. The vast majority of the core artistic assets, art direction, game design, 3D modeling, and overall experience have been entirely hand-crafted and assembled.
