Gas Station Simulator News

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.

[h2]Let’s talk about some of your main tasks in Shady Deals ✅[/h2]

[h3]Earn the respect of the local gangs 🕵️[/h3]

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.



[h3]Expand your empire📈[/h3]

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.



[h2]Coyotes Backstory 📒[/h2]

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.
