Airstrip DLC development update #6 – Trading #2🤝


Hey, Gas Jockeys! ⛽

Welcome to another Gas Station Simulator - Airstrip DLC development update. In the last episode, we’ve shared some information regarding the minigames, so if you’ve somehow managed to miss it, you can still check it out here.

Today we’ll delve into the trading topic again, because there are still some things that are worth mentioning here. Also, make sure to read till the end, since we might have some surprises for you. Without further ado, let’s get started

[h2]Plane arrival ✈️[/h2]

As you might have noticed in our first trading-related devlog, there is a black screen available for you in the barn. There you’ll be able to check the estimated time of arrival, and what kind of plane will be arriving at your airstrip.



The estimated time of arrival (ETA) depends on many different factors. Sometimes flights might be canceled due to some unexpected circumstances. Sometimes as a result of a sandstorm, they’ll be delayed or won’t be able to take off from your airstrip. There will be also some cases in which you might want to delay some of them. This will push them to the bottom of the queue.

As the time of arrival is getting closer and closer, you’ll be able to notice much more details i.e. what kind of items you can sell or buy.



As you probably already know, as soon as the plane lands at your airport, you’ll be able to interact with the pilot and trade for some valuable goods or money. Each plane has a different set of items that also consist of country-related goods such as decorations. Check some of them below, and make sure to let us know what you think of them in the comments.



[h2]Easter wishes 🐰 🥚[/h2]

As this devlog is live just before Easter, we’d like to take this as an opportunity to send some wishes from the whole DRAGO entertainment team! Make sure to charge up your batteries and spend some time with your loved ones ❤️‍🔥 Happy Easter, folks!



[h2]Routastic Sale & Giveaways!💥[/h2]

Just before we proceed to the end, we’d like to let you know that we’re preparing some great surprises for you all. The first one being a Routastic Sale that will be live on 26th of April, 2023 and will feature some huge discounts on our games, as well as a bunch of different great titles from other friendly developers. Secondly, we’ll be running some giveaways on all of our social media channels, so mark those dates in your calendars and check our socials regularly.



[h2]Stay up-to-date📰[/h2]

And we’ve come to an end, folks! Not gonna lie, the excitement is slowly getting off the charts, as we’re getting closer and closer to the Airstrip DLC release date. We’re so thankful for all of the comments that we’ve received – without your constant support, we wouldn’t be where we’re right now – THANK YOU!

Last but not least make sure to follow us on our social media channels and join our discord, so you can stay up-to-date with any news. Oh… And one more thing:

In case you didn't know, Airstrip is not the only plane related thing we are doing. There is our Airport Contraband that is being developed where you deal with security and smuggling aspects on a small airport:

And no we also have another airport related title. While developing it ourselves, we are going to publish Codebusters Studio's second game: American Airport Simulator. Here your job is going to be turning an old military airfield into a private one and manage it, a bit like Gas Station Simulator, but on an airport:

Airstrip DLC development update #5 – Minigames🎮


Hey, Gas Jockeys! ⛽

Welcome back to another development update. In the last one, we’ve shed some light on the trading system, so if that’s your cup of tea, you should definitely check it. In today’s development update, we’ll show you some new minigames coming with the DLC. Without further ado, let’s get the party started🔥

[h2]Tape Minigame🩹[/h2]

As we’ve already explained in the previous devlogs, in some cases you’ll need to help Joe fix his plane. To do that, you’ll need to order a tape which is in the same category as car parts. As soon as you have some at your disposal, you’re ready to repair the holes in the Joe's plane.



[h2]Marshall Minigame👨‍✈️[/h2]



Every pilot needs proper guidance to take off carefully. In Gas Station Simulator - Airstrip DLC that’s a similar case. To do that, we’ve prepared a new item called Marshaling wands. This will allow you to guide Joe safely by using your mouse so he can adjust the position of his plane. As soon as he reaches the perfect spot, he’ll take off freely. Please keep in mind that these are still work-in-progress stuff. The team is working hard on the polishing part right now. Everything you saw already might differ in some way.



[h2]Other activities🧰[/h2]

Apart from the mechanics that we’ve just described, there’ll be some more actions that you’ll be able to do (although the dirty ones). These include cleaning up the barn, fueling planes, or running a successful trading business.

[h2]Stay up-to-date📰[/h2]

And that would be it for today, fellow jockeys! We’re super excited to tell you that our upcoming DLC will be available this month already! 🔥We’re preparing some great surprises for you, so make sure to check our social media channels on a daily basis.



We're also curios to see your comments regarding the new minigames, so make sure to write them down in the comment section below. Last but not least, if you want to stay updated, follow us on social media, and if you haven’t done it yet, consider adding Airstrip DLC to your wishlist.

Airstrip DLC development update #4 – Trading🤝


Hey, Gas Jockeys! ⛽

Welcome to another devlog in which we’ll do our best to familiarize you with our upcoming DLC. We’ve already shared some details about Joe and Towy, so if you missed the previous devlogs, you can check them here (Meet Joe & Say hi to Towy). Today we’re going to shed some light on the trading aspect that is coming with the Gas Station Simulator - Airstrip DLC. Without further ado, let’s get some trades going!

[h2]Trading System 💰[/h2]

Occasionally, your Airstrip will have the unique opportunity to welcome country-related planes. Each plane will have a different set of products at its disposal, so you'll be able to get some unique items each time they arrive at your airstrip. To make a deal, you’ll need to make sure that your stock is full of high-quality items, as this will boost your chances for a successful trade.



Your chances of success are indicated by a circle that, depending on the item's quality and the amount you want to sell or buy, will change accordingly. It’s totally up to you whether you want to try your luck or not – the rewards might be worth a try, but you have to keep in mind that the pilot might not want to give you a second chance. However, some tricks will aid you or make your life a little harder as you progress through the game.

[h2]Boosts 📈 & Impediments📉[/h2]

Boosts are randomly generated events that create additional opportunities for the player to get a particular item at a preferential price. They can appear both on the players' and pilots' sides, but there is no possibility that they will show up on both sides at the same time. There is only one exception to that rule, but we’ll leave it for you to discover it when the Gas Station Simulator - Airstrip DLC releases on April 28th, 2023!

On the other hand, you’ll also encounter some obstacles along your trading journey. While boosts will significantly help you, the impediments are designed to make the gameplay more challenging.

[h2]Card System 💳[/h2]

To make trading a little easier, we’re adding some active cards that you’ll be able to get if you complete a specific set of tasks in the game. These might be upgrading a particular building or completing a certain amount of trades in the game. There will be four of them for you to collect, and you can already check what their purpose is.

COGENCY
EXTRA TIME
POWER OF CALM
EXPRESSION OF GRATITUDE


[h2]Stay up-to-date[/h2]

And we’ve come to an end, fellow jockeys! We hope that you’ve enjoyed our little trading showcase, and we’ll be glad to see your opinions, suggestions, and ideas in the comment section below. Please, keep in mind that everything you’ve seen is still work-in-progress stuff, and we’re doing our best to polish it as much as we can till the release. If you don’t want to miss any news regarding the game or DLC, consider adding it to your wishlist.
