Gas Station Simulator News

With Halloween and Steam’s Scream Fest just around the corner, we decided to give the gas station some spooky things. There will be landmarks and decorations to fit a Halloween theme, but there is so much more coming. Like how about a ghost visiting your gas station? You're going to love that one.

Just a selected few decorations to show you...

We haven't forgotten the inside, either...

The Can Touch This DLC is also getting some spooky love bringing a set of Halloween themed decals to the gas station, but why stop there? How about changing the entire gas station into a spooky mansion with its own Halloween themes sound ambience?

Yes, that's the gas station as a mansion there...

The Halloween update for Gas Station Simulator is scheduled for next week, October 25th right in time for the Scream Fest.

We are very happy to announce a new DLC for Gas Station Simulator where you’ll be able to open up an airstrip behind the gas station!

Airstrip DLC is going to be more story-driven than what we did in the past and will introduce a new character named Joe. An old pilot flying an old single engine plane that is need of a place to land midway to his regular destination. In return Joe promises to make it worth your while.

Check out the Airstrip DLC’s store page for more information about the DLC and add it to your wishlist while at it:

We decided to announce Airstrip now and release it earlier than initially planned, as our Shady Deals DLC is growing quite a bit and will need well into next year to be released. We didn’t want to leave you without new content, so we decided to move more manpower to Airstrip to provide you some cool content right there in January. While we have not set a price for the Airstrip DLC yet, it will certainly be on the cheaper side.

There is one more bit of news we'd like to share with you: Gas Station Simulator is coming to consoles tomorrow! Now you will also be able to enjoy it on PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch :)

We know how much you all love Dennis and you just can’t get enough of him…
Oh come on, that was a good one.

Anyway, Dennis will also be featured in Road Diner Simulator with a lot new ways to annoy you, but also new ways to deal with him. No, we will not be giving you a shotgun. We have seen this frequent suggestion from the community, but that would be wrong on so many levels :P
That being said, e think we came up with something even better. Have a look at today’s DevLog over at Road Diner Simulator to get a better idea:

Now, since Gas Station Simulator, Road Diner Simulator and Motel Simulator are separate games that will work together, support and influence each other, decisions in certain aspects there will also carry over to the gas station.

One of the interesting options to deal with Dennis at the diner is to befriend him. Yep, we knew you would love that. Since we can’t have Dennis being a menace at the gas station and nice and helping at the diner just across the street, the decisions regarding Dennis made in one game will carry over to the other.

As you might have noticed, we are really excited about the concept of these 3 games working together and are constantly coming up with new interactions between them.

In case you aren’t aware, two games we are working on are Road Diner Simulator and Motel Simulator. While both are separate games, they are connected with each other and Gas Station Simulator. The road diner is just across the highway and the motel will be close to the side of the gas station.

When you own any combinations of those games, they will work together, influence each other, provide bonuses and allow you various interesting interactions. This also means that a lot of things we are creating for the road diner and/or the motel will also be adding additional content and features to Gas Station Simulator in order to make this happen.

A hot fix for both the base game and the free Party Time DLC fixing some issues. This hot fix also fixes two game crash issues we have been tracking for a while now and were finally able to find what caused them.

[h3]Bug Fixes[/h3]

• Fixes an issue where employees would stop working after being talked to.
  
• Fixes an issue where Party Time would show as greyed out on Level 6 in certain circumstances.
  
• Fixes a game crash related to driving "Rudy" if an autosave has been triggered at same time.
  
• Fixes some minor sound related issues with the Party Spot and the Ice Cream Stand.
  
• Fixes a bug that caused customers not wanting to go home after you would close the Ice Cream Stand.
  
• Fixes a physics related crash when broom would overlap a soon to be destroyed trash object trying to apply physics it it despite the object bering no longer valid.
  

[h3]Gameplay[/h3]

• The small Fiat is a little bit easier to clean in Car Wash from now on. (About 10% less of car cleaning required).
  
• Product Delivery Crates have been moved to a slightly better position so they aren't halfway into the truck geometry.
  

[h3]Visuals[/h3]

• Police car textures increased in quality a bit so it doesn't look blurry at high settings.
  
• Ice Cream mini-game now has quick key legend visible in the bottom right corner for easier assistance.
  
• The cleaning skill level should now be displayed correctly.

You can now build a party venue and bring another revenue stream to your business. When things get a bit more relaxed in the late hours of the day, you can now crank things up with the new party content. We hope you'll enjoy that party!

• Amount of sandy footsteps created by visitors have been reduced significantly and they should no longer spawn when the customers are standing still.
  
• Employees should no longer clean the warehouse related items (Music Sets, Giant Teddybear, etc.).
  
• Customers using toilet should now again pay $1.50 to use the toilet.
  
• Fixed a crash related to Car Wash which caused the game to crash when closing Car Wash, the whole Gas Station or occasionally calling the UFO.
  
• Fixed a crash that occurred when the player was driving Rudy and the game tried to access the player’s inventory.
  

And just to round everything up nicely, we now have a 10% discount on our first DLC:
