Gas Station Simulator News

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. 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.
