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! 🔥

[h2]How does the Chunchumanchu work?🌋[/h2]

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.



[h2]Section for our friends and other titles 🔥[/h2]

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.
