What’s happening with Airport Contraband?



As you have surely noticed, there isn’t much happening here with Airport Contraband and we figured it’s about time we give you a status update on the state of the game.

There is significant interest in Airport Contraband and we are very aware of that. The game is by no means cancelled or its development abandoned as some have wrongly stipulated.
Quite the opposite is true, we are still working on it, albeit very slowly. The success of Gas Station Simulator and the universe we are creating around it with additional content, DLCs, Road Diner and Motel Simulator have drawn a lot of development resourced to these projects at the cost of Airport Contraband.

That being said, Airport Contraband has a significant following and we see how nicely its wishlist is building. This means that we have to make some serious changes internally as to how we are approaching the development of this game and make those changes quickly, otherwise we might run out of the decade to get it done ;-)

We are in the process of making those changes already and we are at a point where we believe to be able to present you those plans sometime next month already.
So please bear with us a little longer, Airport Contraband will definitely happen!

On a side note, if planes and airports are your thing, have a look at Airstrip for Gas Station Simulator that is coming soon:

Gas Station Simulator Launch Day Event



Surrounding the launch of our Gas Station Simulator later today we prepared an event that covers some interesting things about the game. Maybe interesting enough to get you interested in buying an abandoned gas station, fix it up and run it.

We will start the event with Raptor playing Gas Station Simulator at 16:00 CEST and end around 22:00 CEST with a QA session with lots of interesting stuff in between. Naturally all the footage shown today will be from the full game.

Just have a look at the game's store page to watch the broadcasts.

Gas Station Simulator coming on 15.09.2021



On September 15th we are releasing one of our games: Gas Station Simulator.
While you are waiting for Airport Contraband, maybe have a look at Gas Station Simulator. Running a gas station the way we made it might be just something you enjoy.

Head over to Gas Station Simulator and have a look! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1149620/Gas_Station_Simulator/
If you think the game is for you, add it your wishlist while at it. Not only will Steam remind you about its launch, but you also show us your support.

DevLog #2: "Think Big, Start Small"



Unlike people, airports aren’t made equal. When you usually hear ‘airport’, the first image that comes to mind is a great sprawling airport with a dozen planes both arriving and ready to depart at a moment’s notice. But while other types of airport might not be as immense and visually impressive, they are by no means less important. During your career as a security guard looking for contraband, you’ll have the chance to progress your career through a variety of airports and learn the ins and outs of their functions. But here’s a brief overview.

To begin with, the main distinction to be made is the size of the airport. Naturally, don’t expect large planes to touch down on a place that can hardly keep tabs on three or four dozen people. Small airports more often see use by private investors, personal planes or small-time commercial freighting. Of course, just because passengers aren’t involved doesn’t mean contraband doesn’t exist. Plenty of people like to haul things that are strictly forbidden, doubly so when they’re protected by a thick layer of private investment money. Cargo crates, small-time luggage or personal investigation will be your bread and butter on these types of airports. Remember to be ever vigilant.



In a more familiar topic, big and bustling airports can be either used for either service of freight - more often than not, they’re frequently utilised for both means. Your old repertoire of tasks and duties won’t shrink, but expect it to in fact grow significantly as you will be forced to not only deal with people, but also with an even greater abundance of cargo. On the happier side, due to the cosmopolitan nature of such airports, you’ll not likely encounter individuals of high renown flying their personal, small-time planes. Over here, things are done in bulk and large.

On the other hand, the more people, the higher the chance of an unfortunate accident. Be wary of crowds getting riled up one by another, make sure to keep health standards in check. Airports are the first and often most important line of defence against an unwanted pandemic just waiting to strike.

Remember - the safety of passengers is in your hands. Do your best!
