Gas Station Simulator News

[p]Welcome into another episode of our devlog series, where we dive into the nitty-gritty details of our upcoming Gas Station Simulator - RV Camp DLC. Today, it’s time to introduce you to the kinds of clients who will be rolling into your campground. Each group has their own quirks, needs, and expectations and it’s up to you to keep them happy while running your camp. Grab your favourite snack, something to drink, and let’s roll![/p][p][/p][h3]Stopover Guests 💪[/h3][p]Not everyone wants to stay overnight. Some guests just drop by to use a service like the gym, sauna, or any other service you provide. They come in with a goal, leave once it’s done, and along the way they’ll put your skills to the test. They may be short visits, but they’ll keep your camp buzzing.[/p][p][/p][h3]Overnight Guests ✨[/h3][p]Other visitors decide to settle in for some time. These are the ones who’ll really put your management skills to the test. They’ll need electricity, water, and a sewerage to enjoy their stay. Each client has certain needs to fulfill, and once you’ve booked them, you will lose a certain amount of resources. But hey – worry no more, as you can refill them quite easily by spending money or trust points.[/p][p][/p][h3]Concert Guests 🎸[/h3][p]And then there’s the lively bunch who come together for one reason only: music. Some of your guests share the same taste, so if you’ve got a group of rock fans hanging around for example, that’s the perfect moment to throw a concert. Time it right and you’ll turn your camp into a festival ground full of energy and profit.[/p][p][/p][h3]What’s Next 👀[/h3][p]That’s just the beginning of what the RV Camp DLC has to offer. And while we can’t spill the beans yet, we recommend you mark September 18th on your calendars because we’ve got something special to show you that day. Let’s just say… it’s been cooking for a while, and we can’t wait to share it.[/p][h2]Celebrating 4th Anniversary 🎉[/h2][p]On top of all that, the Gas Station Simulator is turning 4 today! 🥳 We wouldn’t be here without the amazing support from our awesome community. To celebrate, we’ve prepared a special anniversary infographic that takes a look back at some of the milestones, stats, and fun moments from these past four years.[/p][p]Here’s to many more years of pumping gas, welcoming campers, and creating stories together. 🚀⛽[/p][p][/p][h3]Stay up-to-date 📰[/h3][p]And that’s gonna be it for today’s devlog, fellow gas jockeys! It’s hard to believe that four years have already passed by, but as the saying goes – time flies apparently. As usual, I’m counting on your comments down below regarding the RV Camp, but since we celebrate the 4th anniversary, I’m curious if you could share some great (and not so great) moments that you had in Gas Station Sim. For now, stay tuned for more, and remember to wishlist RV Camp DLC to stay in the loop. Until the next devlog! 👋[/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink]~Sewek[/p][p]P.S. Our friends at Garage Monkeys have released a Collectible Update for their Car Dealer Simulator. If you're the type who loves collecting all kinds of trophies, this is perfect for you.[/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p]

Hey Gas Jockeys!

We’ve rolled out a long-awaited performance improvement. A critical issue that caused the game to slow down over time during extended play sessions has been resolved. Performance should improve for PC players, especially during longer playtimes.

This fix involves correcting NPC navigation and reducing the map's generated paths. The optimization keeps NPC movement quality intact while significantly improving overall performance.

As a result, the game now runs much smoother, and FPS drops after long sessions should no longer appear.

Thank you all for your feedback and reports. We truly appreciate them, and they helped us improve the game’s stability and performance.

[p]We’re back again with another entry in our devlog series focusing on the minigames you’ll find in the RV Camp DLC. In our last post, we gave you a taste of what’s waiting for you in the campgrounds, but as you might have guessed – the RV Camp comes packed with all sorts of activities, and we’re not done showing them off just yet. This time, we’re shining the spotlight on four very different minigames that bring variety and challenge. Let’s dive in.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Sauna 🥵[/h2][p]Every great RV Camp needs a place to relax, and nothing says relaxation quite like a cozy sauna session. But of course, relaxation in Gas Station Simulator still needs a dose of gameplay challenge.[/p][p]In the Sauna minigame, you’ll need to carefully steer the flow of heat and steam. The mechanic is all about precision – avoid the red circles, while collecting the green ones to keep the temperature balanced. Think of it as keeping the perfect rhythm of relaxation – your guests want to sweat, not roast![/p][p]As always, keep in mind that we're still working on polishing all of the minigames, so the GIF you see above might not represent the final quality. [/p][p][/p][h2]Spotted Bench Press 🏋️[/h2][p]RV Camps attract all sorts of personalities, and some of them are dedicated gym-goers who want to make it on top of the magazine cover. Enter the spotted bench press minigame, where you get to help your guests keep those gains in check.[/p][p]Here, timing and coordination are everything. You’ll have to follow the green bar up and down with your W and S on your keyboard to simulate the barbell’s motion, while also maintaining balance with A and D. Too much tilt to one side and your guest will struggle – or worse, you’ll drop the bar. Too little focus on the rhythm, and you’ll lose control of the lift.[/p][p][/p][h2]Wood Chopping 🪓[/h2][p]What’s a camp without a crackling campfire? Someone’s got to chop the wood, and this time – it’s you.[/p][p]The wood chopping minigame is all about precision and balance. Each swing matters, and your task is to split the log into two equal pieces. The closer you get to that perfect middle cut, the better your result. Aim for consistency and accuracy – when both sides look just right, you’ll know you’ve mastered the skill.
[/p][h2]Stay up-to-date 📰[/h2][p]And that’s it for today! So, what are your thoughts about those minigames? From the ones you’ve seen, what is your favourite so far? The comment section belongs to you right now, so don’t hesitate and share your feedback with us. We have a couple of aces up our sleeves, and we’ll be happy to share them in the upcoming weeks, so make sure to follow us on social media and join our official Discord server. Last but not least, don’t forget to add RV Camp DLC to your wishlist. Until the next devlog! 👋[/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p]P.S. If you’ve already fallen head over heels for Car Dealer Simulator (don’t worry, we won’t tell your real car), then buckle up! This weekend you’ll get the chance to take a sweet test drive of brand-new update.[/p][p]What’s in it? Well… let’s just say we’re keeping the keys hidden for now. You’ll find out soon enough. 😉[/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink]~Sewek[/p]

[p]It’s been a while since we last shared something about our upcoming Gas Station Simulator – RV Camp DLC. But hey – it’s summertime, so a little break is more than welcome, right? And speaking of summertime – what are your plans for the holidays? Maybe even a trip to an RV camp with your loved ones? Or simply charging up your batteries while playing your favourite games (which obviously means Gas Station Sim, of course)? Don’t hesitate to let me know in the comments! ☀️[/p][p]Now, let’s get back on track. Today, it’s high time we finally talk a little more about the gameplay itself. And if we’re talking gameplay, that obviously means minigames. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be a proper Gas Station Simulator DLC, right? Anyway, let’s not waste any more time—grab something refreshing to drink, and let’s get the party started. 🔥[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Shooting Range 🔫[/h2][p]First of all, let me ask you one more question – is there anyone here who remembers the good old Chicken Shoot game? I remember when I was eight, I would constantly make fun of my mum and kind of bully her for a terrible score – only to find out later that I couldn’t even beat her lowest one. But wait a second – why am I even bothering you with this nonsense, you might ask? Well, it’s because the shooting range minigame in the RV Camp DLC is kind of similar to Chicken Shoot.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Please keep in mind that everything you see above is still work in progress. I just wanted to show you this material, so you can get a better glimpse of how the minigame looks like.[/p][p]
The idea is pretty simple – you face off against a guest to see who can score more points within 60 seconds. You’ll use your mouse to aim and shoot red targets while avoiding blue ones, which subtract points from your score. But watch out for special neutral targets like UFOs and coyotes – shooting them before your opponent gives you valuable extra points. Just like any other minigame in the RV Camp DLC, the shooting range offers three different difficulty levels to push your boundaries even further.[/p][p][/p][h2]Dishwashing 🍽️[/h2][p]Now it’s time to talk about everyone’s favourite task of the day – dishwashing. Well, I feel like the name speaks for itself, but just in case you need a bit more explanation: you’ll need to wash a stack of dirty dishes before the water consumption bar runs out.[/p][p]As simple as it sounds, it might be much harder than you expect. First, after you clean the dish you need to place it in the correct category, and all of this while managing water usage efficiently. The upper bar (which right now shows the ECO phase, but it will be changed) will be divided into three sections. Depending on which section you finish, the higher the score will be. Fail to wash the dishes in time, and the service remains incomplete and you’ll have to try again. Now, enjoy this high-quality GIF of me cleaning the nasty dishes left by those pesky guests.[/p][p][/p][h2]BBQ 🔥[/h2][p]It wouldn’t be a proper RV camp without the smell of juicy sausages and the sound of sizzling on the grill. In the barbecue minigame, you’ll take charge of the cookinging– duh. It’s a simple and relaxing minigame, in which you have to wait for the exact moment to take the meat from the grill. However, you’ll need to work fast and smart: serve everything before it burns, but on the other hand make sure it’s properly cooked. Otherwise the whole meal’s ruined. Choose your difficulty to spice things up, with more food types and a chance to earn bigger service cooldown bonuses. But be careful – burn even one item, and the guests won’t be impressed..[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Stay Up-to-Date 📰[/h2][p]And unfortunately, that’s it for today. So, how did you enjoy this development update? Which minigame excites you the most? Or maybe you have some brand-new ones you’d like to see next? Don’t hesitate to leave a comment down below. Work on the DLC continues, and you can expect another sneak peek at the end of August. Until then, don’t forget to add the DLC to your wishlist.[/p][p]Have a wonderful rest of your day and a great weekend ahead. Cheers! 👋[/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink]P.S. Just before I let you go, there’s one more thing I’d like to share...[/p][p]Our friends from Garage Monkeys have announced another update for Car Dealer Simulator, which will include an online parts store.[/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink]~Sewek[/p][p][/p]
