Welcome to another Tidal Wave DLC releated devlog. Time flies pretty quickly, as we're already less than three weeks away from the release of Gas Station Simulator - Tidal Wave DLC – isn't that great? I'm also pleased to see all of those positive comments under our recent announcement regarding the DLC – you guys are awesome and words cannot describe how grateful I'm right now. From the bottom of my heart – THANK YOU ❤️



Okay, let's get back to the main point of today's devlog. Most of you have probably seen how the station is gonna look like. The question is whether you're aware where to find specific buildings such as Car Wash, Gas Station, and Warehouse let's say. The good news is that our 2D graphic designer did a terrific job and has prepared this practical "Resort Map" as we like to call it for your reference. From now on, no excuses that you got lost on the island...




In the upcoming weeks/days you can expect even more announcements from us. I can already share a little spoiler with you – we're already planning the next devlog which should tell you everything you need to know about Tidal Wave DLC along with the information when the DLC will unclock in your local time zones. Tune-in next week to see it for yourself.

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.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1992100/Gas_Station_Simulator__Shady_Deals_DLC/

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.

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! 🔥


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.




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 👇

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1394960/Winter_Survival/

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.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2466000/Superstore_Simulator/

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.
