What is it like to put a food truck in a gas station? As you know, we're about to release Food Truck Simulator on September 14th, which means the game is still in beta, and the people involved in the development of Gas Tycoon occasionally take a closer look at the game. Once, they came up with an idea... Yes, of course they want to.
"Wouldn't it be fun to put a food truck in a gas station?" One of the developers asked.
"You mean, a similar ornament or an event?" Another developer asked rhetorically.
"Well, it's all right. But I think if you put a real, you can control the food truck in the game, it will increase a lot of popularity and bring in some revenue. Unexpected answer.
And then the idea opens...
I don't want you to hear insults from other developers, nor do I want you to hear the details of the rewards, intimidation, and harassment involved in turning ideas into plans.
In any case, after repeated discussions, the idea did take shape. We wanted to add a food truck that you could manage to the gas station. You don't need to cook or drive it in the car as you did in Food Truck Simulator, because let's face it: it's going to be far beyond the concept, and we still want you to feel it in Food Truck Simulator. Not to mention that you're already busy running gas stations and handling daily tasks, and there's more new content that will meet you later this year.
Instead, we'll let you manage your food truck. You need to maintain it, see if you have enough inventory to prepare food for sale, and pay your employees on time. We'll add maps to the area, and there are several locations on the map where you need to choose when the food truck should be where to maximize its sales, as you did in Food Truck Simulator.
What we did was take some of the game logic about maintenance, supply, and location from Food Truck Simulator and use it in that idea. Because it takes too long to add a food truck from scratch. Heck, we might as well steal some nice customizations from them so you have to fix it before it's put into use.
Food Truck Simulator has a pretty good free demo to play with so you can better understand how these things work and what we're really writing about.
Let's get back to the question: Is there anything else you'd like us to join Gas Station Tycoon? We have to be frank about the problem: the addition of the dining car may slightly delay some updates to the new content of Gas Station Tycoon. We've always wanted to get feedback from the community and get more players to tell us if this is feasible.
