April, 26th is the day Gas Station Simulator’s Airstrip DLC will arrive. This makes for a great opportunity to let you in on some of our plans regarding DLCs and what role they will play in the grand scheme of things, namely the “gas station universe” consisting of the games Gas Station Simulator, Road Diner and Motel Simulator. We covered how these games will work together and influence each other in the past, but we plan to extend that concept to the DLC as well.
So let’s take our Airstrip DLC as an example here. The DLC features Joe, a new character that the DLC kinda evolves around. The first connection between Airstrip and the Road Diner will be a friend of Joe’s who will hook into Joe’s story and background. He will be a special guests at the Road Diner and later at the Motel, too.

While Joe is the prominent character in the DLC, there are other pilots from all over the world. Pilots that can provide you, among other things, with goods unique to their country or state for your gas station. But those goods will also be useful in the future at the Road Diner and the Motel, which is another example how a DLC will connect to these games.
For the pilots we have even bigger plans, especially for the Motel Simulator. Once we release the game, the Airstrip DLC will get an update that adds the necessary systems from the Motel to these pilots so some of them can become guests at motel. It only makes sense that they need a good night’s sleep before continuing their journey.
Until Road Diner and Motel arrive, we will for sure work out more ways how the expand upon DLCs to make them relevant in the other games, too. Now, they won’t be required. It just about giving some additional bonuses or content if you own them.
In case you missed it in previous announcements, along-side continued development for Gas Station Simulator we are also working on two games that will complement your gas station: Road Diner and Motel. While both are separate games, they are connected with each other as well as Gas Station Simulator. Which makes a lot sense, since they are located close-by.

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.
