Christmas Greetings from the Dev Team

[h2]🎄 Merry Christmas! 🎄[/h2]

This year has been a really important one for us - full of learning, building, and slowly shaping the game into what we believe it can become. A lot of quiet work, a lot of care, and plenty of passion put into every part of the project.

Now we’re taking a short break, recharging our batteries, and getting ready to jump back in with fresh energy in the new year. We have a clear goal ahead, and we’re fully focused on delivering a great game - one that we hope you’ll enjoy playing just as much as we enjoy making it.

For now, we just want to say thank you and wish you calm, cozy holidays, good food, good vibes, and some well-earned rest. See you very soon - we’ve got a lot more to show 😎



Cheers!
Dev Team

Keep It Clean!

[h2]Hey everyone! 👋[/h2]
In this devlog, hold on tight so you don’t get sucked in! 😅

Today, we’re showing something every rental business owner knows well – cleaning the interior of a car. A clean vehicle makes a strong first impression and plays a big role in maintaining customer satisfaction.



We’re currently working on a handheld vacuum system that lets you remove dirt, crumbs, and all kinds of mess from inside the vehicle. You’ll be able to tidy up cars before handing them over to clients, giving each interior a fresh and well-kept look. We’re also working on different visual variations of crumbs and debris, so we can better represent the variety of messes that can appear inside a car. Dirt will show up across the entire interior, but here’s a quick look at how it currently appears in the trunk.



It’s still a work in progress, but this system is becoming an essential part of the everyday workflow in your rental business.



PS. While waiting for more updates, check out what’s new in Winston Springs. Tomorrow in Car Dealer Simulator, we’re adding a new car model!

First look at the production build

[h2]Hi everyone,[/h2]
In today’s devlog, we’ve prepared a little surprise for you!

Starting today, you can watch our live stream on the store page to see the development progress of Car Rental Simulator. What you’ll see is our first take on the gameplay loop - not the final look, just an early preview. We’re counting on your first impressions and a bit of understanding 😊

Be sure to share your thoughts with us - which gameplay mechanic are you most excited to see?

Enjoy the show!

For the first time, you’ll also be able to play a free sample of the gameplay in the Prologue, coming in Q1 2026.

Workshop Rooms

[h2]Hey everyone! 👋[/h2]
It’s time to take a look behind the scenes of our garages, which form the heart of every workshop in Rental!

As the game progresses, the garage buildings will evolve and expand - gaining new workstations, more space, and an increasingly professional look.

Below, you can see early blockouts of these buildings and the first sketches of the paint shop we’re currently working on. This is just the beginning, but you can already see how each level gives the workspace more character and scale.



















As always, this is still an early testing and prototype phase, so we’re excited to hear your feedback and ideas for further development!



PS. Have you seen the latest in Car Dealer Simulator? This week we’ve added additional email challenges and the ability to repaint the fuel trailer - be sure to check it out!
