About this game
Joey's Shisha Simulator puts you in the shoes of Joey, a college student who ventures into the risky waters of business and chooses to start a hookah shop. Start with a small space and grow your business from the ground up. Your wit, management skills, attention to detail and creativity will be key to building your own unique and thriving smokehouse. If you think you've got what it takes to run a shisha lounge, fire up the coals, get the tobacco ready and start preparing!
Design your lounge
Design and furnish your lounge to attract customers by choosing from a wide range of furniture, decorations and themes. There are a variety of furnishings and skins, such as a cloud theme, a tea room, or even a cyber lounge. There are no limits to your imagination and if your business thrives you can buy better and better pieces! Customers will be attracted by the look and cleanliness, so it's important to keep the smokehouse welcoming.
Prepare hookahs
Master the art of making the perfect hookah with various flavours and variants to satisfy your guests. To each their own, everyone has a different taste when it comes to hookah flavors so you'll have to gradually learn how to satisfy as many of them as possible to leave you a positive review.
Keep it steady
Manage your supplies and handle day-to-day operations to keep your smokehouse booming. You'll have to organize your storage, set up a good menu for customers, keep track of what's going on through the dashboard. It won't be easy, duties like taxes, restock and watching what customers want will be key to not going out of business.
What awaits you:
Customization of furnishings, walls, lighting
Preparation of several types of hookahs influenced by your choice of tobacco, style and the taste the customer desires
Managing your own storage, ordering products and stocking them
Customers who do not stay around forever have their own demands and patience
Maintaining the business, such as cleaning, ordering new machines and repairing existing ones
Establishing your own branding, dining menu and corporate identity
You don't just have a smokehouse, you'll also be making teas, drinks, toasts, if you so choose to
We are thinking about our beloved streamers. Twitch integration to make chat become your customers is on the way!
Plus, a gameplay trailer with more in-game footage is coming soon!

Major Visual Upgrades & Tobacco Prep Overhaul! 🔧
Hey, guys! After some time we are getting back to you with new news, we have given ourselves quite a lot of work over the last month with visual upgrades and progress, so let's see what's new. 🔪Tobacco preparation As we stated in the previous newsletter, we are working on the tobacco. We weren't completely happy with our first demo, so we wanted to improve it both visually and mechanically. One of the first things we wanted to change was the visual of the tobacco, we were not happy with the way it looked. Kay, our graphic designer, went to great lengths to create different visuals that have the ability to recolor, have custom particles and help maintain that visual consistency. We currently have 3 stages, raw, coarse and fine, which each have their own visual. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45188121/5b28420df4f53780a3350c85fb1eef3bb81d43f6.png For me, the challenge again was to program it and design the interaction to make it friendly for you, the player. In the end, we came to the conclusion that the pad will be your workstation, where you prepare the tobacco, mix it and later load in. All of these things will happen at board level. 😴 BEFORE: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45188121/f5322560ab2cfd4214d1ff7905fb43ca498cd09c.gif 🥳 AFTER: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45188121/c091367b1d7424e1b8bf2811fa2d45ee32d861e5.gif 📦 Storage room Every business needs a place to store things. We already had this place set up, but something was missing... variation! Besides having our heads buried in tobacco, we started looking at our storage system and how to give it a similar personalization method to the rest of the hookah lounge. The warehouse is more about functionality, so we looked at expanding the types of shelving. Right now you'll be able to stack your warehouse with a classic rack, a box slide, a small item rack, or shelves. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45188121/016ef253187e07e186a8aa1e8b07b0620eec47b3.png As you buy boxes of tobacco, raw materials, boxes of furniture you don't want to sell yet, this variation will...Read full article on Community Announcements (DarthExpl0zive)Community & EventsOfficial
Breathe Easy! Ventilation, Traffic & Special Ramadan Event!
Hello! We're reporting back to you after two weeks with some new stuff we're working on. I won't drag this out - let's see what we're working on. ☁️ Ventilation and fume We want the environment of your lounge to be dynamic - this of course includes the smoke and its ventilation! At the base you'll have a classic air conditioning system, but you'll be able to upgrade over time. Depending on the amount of clutter in the air (from shisha, coals etc.), the smoke will gradually appear and thus affect your customers. We're really looking forward to showing you all of this interconnected. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45188121/9508f4253592774bda228e6074c8e1b150603b2a.gif 🚗 Traffic simulation Last week we started working on the traffic system in the outdoor environment. We'll be fine-tuning the animations and visuals over the next two weeks, but the basics are done. If you enter the roadway, the car will of course slow down, but we don't promise in high speeds that nothing will happen. 👀 This wont be only a visual gimmic - we need some traffic for gameplay hehe. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45188121/832e301ce90a76bae3206a56ec9c195d9a467fad.gif 🌙 Welcome Ramadan! Because we would like our game to be seen by many enthusiasts, we joined the Days of Ramadan event! We would love to welcome you new pipers and look forward to having you play our game! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45188121/f725bf031463e28d284f750af0255101322f0b80.png 🗺️ Localization system Just like the last news save system we have a new back bone system and that is localization! We can make sure that in the available languages you see on Steam, all the text will be translated and you will be able to change the language within a game session if you prefer another. 💪 We can see what we have for wishlists and interest, but if you want to make sure you have your native language translated as well, drop us a line on discord! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45188121/66dbb92c7e7e7ddec969b69fe579ae7569eaa5bc.png 👀 What to expect next?

Silence Broken: Exciting News & Regular Updates Incoming
Hey, guys! It's been quiet for a while with no news, but the quiet period has passed and we have another batch of news! And it won't be the only one, we're a small team that makes the game in our spare time, but we've currently changed the way we operate to release news on a bi-weekly basis. That's great, right? 🤫 Why have we been quiet for so long? We had a month after the Czech Games Week to prepare the game to a presentable state for the developer conference, where the first feedback was given. After the conference we had a lot of modifications on the project's code, we want to gradually improve these things and continue to announce them to you via these communication channels (Discord 💙). 🧒 Our first conference A few of you from our local pond had a chance to meet us at the GDS - developer conference in Prague, and we'd like to welcome all the readers who came to say hello! 👋 {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45188121/ce7b09391a06773836b37d6d88ef5895ce518086.png There we showcased the first demo of our game to test interactions, game feel, etc. We implemented this feedback over the last months and had to change some of our core systems - primarily the controls to make it enjoyable for you - players. The event was great and we are already planning to show up again with another version of the game! 💾 Save System One of the biggies and under the hood features was the save system. Every game needs to save its states so that the player can continue his journey. We've added this system to the game, allowing for periodic automatic saves, manual saves, overwriting saves, pretty much everything a player would expect from it. And the bonus? It's ready to sync with Steam, so you'll have your saves available when you uninstall or play the game on multiple devices. 🚪 End of the day We would like to introduce you to the end of the daily cycle. You as a player will be able to choose when you open and close the business with closing the door and turning of the sign. You won't be able to be op...Read full article on Community Announcements (DarthExpl0zive)Community & EventsOfficial
A bunch of news, an event, a developer video?
Our embers have not been extinguished and we are still intensively developing all the planned features. Are you well? Well, now you'll feel even better. This is all we've added, here we go! 🫂 It's getting crowded. With the demo deadline approaching (👀), we're looking into you - our customers! We're slowly finishing their visual representation, and we'll add a few more animation states. The navigation loop is ready (But they still have to learn to walk, atleast visually hehe). {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45188121/f8a3dd718947da45351767243906cdcf5fb25374.gif 🏠 So, where are we exactly? A few observant people have already started pointing out that it is possible that this shisha lounge is located somewhere, so can you tell by the outdoor environment where we are exactly? 😏 Our lead designer Kay took great care in capturing the particular place. You'll be able to move around there day and night, picking up deliveries and taking care of your business logistically. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45188121/94a736946b1460c7b296f80615d9be57d995c6b8.png 💬 Hi, what can I get you? We are also getting closer to showing the full ordering functionality. During this period, we have focused on improving the communication between the customer and you - the player. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45188121/a284d22a713cd4cbef10f069349a1ed8f4218c49.gif The customer also needs to let the player know how they feel and what they need, so we are introducing our moodlet implementation! 😊 In addition to the shisha requests, the customer will also show their mood, indicating if you've done them any harm or if they are fully satisfied. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45188121/01a6e186ec819ae73a4ea3596f6ff16805a647fb.png 🔥 Another step of coal mechanic... heating up Last time we showed you how to operate the coals, today we can heat them up! For the demonstrations we have sped up the process, but if the heater is turned on or off the coals cool down, just like when removed. Their temperature can significantly affect the quality and duration of...Read full article on Community Announcements (DarthExpl0zive)AnnouncementsOfficial
Hey 👀 Got some updates!
Hey, guys! We haven't heard from each other in a couple of weeks, but we haven't been idle. We are happy to see the interest in our project from the increasing wishlists, so we are happy to share with you some news and plans on what we are working on now. 🏗️ Building and lounge decoration We want to tweak the feel of the build and customization to make it as enjoyable as possible for you, it still takes polish but we want to show you how you'll be able to decorate your lounge. Everything you order comes nicely packed - and to make sure you don't break your back, a supply shaft can drop boxes from the street right into your establishment. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45188121/cea04809143303873010a73aa68e863f805731db.gif 🫂 Discord? Hell yeah! Since we've been posting on reddit (where we've been chatting with you all quite a bit), we figured it was the perfect time to create a community discord . In addition to news, you can post your ideas here, communicate directly with us, and also get first-hand updates. 😎 🔥 It's getting hot in here We're still working on the game loop of hookah preparation, but at least we want to show you how to take the coals. Stay tuned for a full shisha making demo in the next update! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45188121/41a8909717edd2285d237e26edafbdeecd35523d.gif Right now we are concentrating on shisha preparation, building and customization. In the next update (or sooner on discord) we will show you these things so we can put it into testing and demo as soon as possible. Thanks and we look forward to showing you more progress!
