  Getting Our Hands Dirty

  Hey everyone! Building a proper rental business takes time, and when you first arrive at your lot, things are far from perfect. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43312481/8dba81798cc68ff0c0e2cb1fa0eb750338bf4a54.png Before you can afford major upgrades, you'll be working on a rough, sandy surface that has definitely seen better days. We wanted the starting lot to really reflect those humble beginnings, so we've been adding more details to make the ground feel properly worn, messy, and used. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43312481/8a778e9e83fa69716e5b6b490995fa6e0d2742f2.png Mud, wet soil, tire ruts, uneven patches, spilled fluids, and other little imperfections now break up the surface and give the whole area much more character. Instead of having one flat layer of dirt under your feet, we want it to feel like cars have actually been driving, parking, leaking, and working here for years. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43312481/b7a6d1450fae226572642919fda8622e5ac2d2c9.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43312481/8314ffe6f6e4bc7afd7e2360786397f2c0cf8122.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43312481/cdec1a086d97346a814459bba59ea77bb2d71b6c.png These details also help us tell the story of your business through the environment itself. At the beginning, your rental lot is dirty, improvised, and a little rough around the edges. As you earn money and invest in upgrades, you'll eventually be able to leave all of this behind and turn the place into something much more professional. Hopefully, looking at all that mud will give you one more reason to start making money! Don't forget to wishlist Car Rental Simulator and let us know what you think about our not-so-beautiful beginnings! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43312481/ac6ee872ce44139f01fa02c5dcfb4b72ebbf7dfc.gif And be sure to check out what’s new in Car Dealer Simulator!! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2404880/Car_Dealer_Simulator/

  Starting Small: The First Washing Spot

  Hey everyone! Every rental business has to start somewhere, and at the beginning of Car Rental Simulator, you won't have access to a fully equipped car wash just yet. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43312481/469c9b370d79fd59f257264ed132cf2f4b12b2fd.png Your first cleaning setup is much simpler. You'll be working with a small handheld pressure washer, which means you need to bring the car to a designated washing spot before getting to work. We wanted to make this area easy to recognize, while still keeping that improvised feeling of a business that's only just getting started. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43312481/77af69f2150c8a538d92b24b277c80f1b1f1b42c.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43312481/3de07e643a30308a0c02dc4e4e882df2f0ef9075.png This simple washing spot also gives us another opportunity to show the progression of your rental lot. As your business grows, your facilities will grow with it. Later upgrades will give you access to a dedicated washing station, making the whole process more convenient and giving your property a much more professional look. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43312481/3bd484147a3fa44ad00ffbf128acc5e997c4f6cf.png We want that progress to be visible around you. What starts as a modest lot with basic equipment will gradually turn into a proper rental business, and this little washing spot is one of the first steps along the way. For now, though, a pressure washer and a bit of determination will have to do.

  Pick Up & Return

  Hey everyone! One of our goals with Car Rental Simulator is to make the rental lot feel like a place that's constantly alive. We want it to feel like a real business, where things keep moving even when you're busy with something else. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43312481/71f47d83f8552f78cbe1a9972ad39813c6589694.gif {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43312481/34c3584c78fd28366fab4c7fc19a0b63c5f74bce.gif That's why customers now enter their rental cars and drive away on their own once the paperwork is done. And when their rental period comes to an end, they'll return to the lot, find an available parking space, and park the vehicle themselves before handing the keys back. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43312481/78c90a0c2861f5da3effcd7b406ca36033cccd0a.gif It may seem like a small detail, but it changes the atmosphere quite a bit. Watching customers come and go throughout the day makes the world feel more believable and adds a sense of activity around your business. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43312481/d2ce9866e82fa8e0a1e26c3333c8fd9826659ee5.gif These are the kinds of details we love working on. They don't necessarily change the core gameplay, but they help Winston Springs feel like a place where people actually live, work, and travel. We hope you enjoy seeing your rental lot become busier with every passing day. And as always, don't forget to wishlist Car Rental Simulator to follow the game's development! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43312481/ac6ee872ce44139f01fa02c5dcfb4b72ebbf7dfc.gif P.S. Our friends from Perfect Circle Team have just released the demo of their game! Be sure to check it out and experience Winston Springs from a whole new perspective.

  A Better Sleep System

  Hey everyone! A good night's sleep is important... even when you're running a car rental business. As the day comes to an end, customers will eventually stop visiting your rental lot. The evening becomes the perfect time to finish any remaining work, whether that's cleaning cars, repairing damage, or preparing vehicles for upcoming rentals. But deciding when to go to bed isn't always so straightforward. Since customers return their vehicles at different times throughout the day and night, simply sleeping until the next morning could mean missing important moments. Sometimes all you need is a few hours of rest before the next car arrives. That's why we've introduced a flexible sleep system. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45845443/dc42fe1ee9c48d6445b6a43e784a09388a8f915d.gif Instead of automatically skipping to the next morning, you'll be able to choose exactly when you want to wake up. This gives you much more control over your schedule, allowing you to plan your day around upcoming vehicle returns and make better use of your time. It's a small feature, but one that makes managing your rental business feel much more natural and gives you the freedom to organize each day the way you want. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45845443/dae752b82b9f65108f05d395ef4674b45dc6ff79.gif Don't forget to wishlist Car Rental Simulator, and stay tuned for more updates! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43312481/ac6ee872ce44139f01fa02c5dcfb4b72ebbf7dfc.gif P.S.

  Let there be light!

  Hey everyone! Running a rental business doesn't stop when the sun goes down. That's why we've been working on improving the lighting around your rental lot, making nighttime work both more practical and much more atmospheric. We've added new lights around the property, making it easier to inspect, repair, and prepare vehicles even after dark. Whether you're finishing up a late-night rental or getting a car ready for the next morning, you'll always have enough light to get the job done. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43312481/d2cc1ce5027b5a5e70bd998764b35ed4836e7f31.gif At the same time, street lights across Winston Springs are now up and running, bringing the city to life once evening falls. Small details like these make nighttime driving feel much more immersive and give the world a warmer, more believable atmosphere. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43312481/fa4531270a3ddd90d115099f516f3d0afb29335c.gif We're really happy with how these changes affect the overall mood of the game, and we can't wait for you to experience Winston Springs after sunset. Don't forget to wishlist Car Rental Simulator, and stay tuned for more updates! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43312481/ac6ee872ce44139f01fa02c5dcfb4b72ebbf7dfc.gif P.S.
