It was made with boiling water

Highway Diner Simulator was introduced a while in the past to be coming from Gasoline Station Simulator developer Drago Leisure, and now we’re lastly getting our first have a look at the sport.

The brand new teaser principally simply reveals off the goal aesthetic whereas additionally giving a glimpse at a few of its meant options. As is usually the case with teasers, no gameplay is proven, however we no less than get to see a man guzzle down espresso moments after it’s poured for him. That’s fairly cool.

The important thing takeaway right here can be Highway Diner Simulator’s utilization of Unreal Engine 5 with its fancy lighting and reflections. Earlier video games used Unreal Engine 4. Whereas which means that the lighting within the diner appears to be like extra convincing, we’re left with the awkward animations and dead-eyed character fashions. Not that I thoughts, I really feel that comes with the small dev/large concepts territory. Simply an amusing one.

The teaser was introduced to me as if it was going to indicate off extra of the interconnection the title could have with Gasoline Station Simulator. The thought is that Highway Diner Simulator will learn off your Gasoline Station Simulator save and depict your progress on the other aspect of the street. There was some indication that success in a single recreation will appeal to extra enterprise within the different, however proper now, we solely have indications that, sure, your gasoline station will probably be there. I no less than just like the idea, because it’s one thing Maxis toyed round with within the ‘90s with video games like Streets of SimCity.

Whether or not or not it really works out in observe is one other matter.

I actually loved Gasoline Station Simulator, however the follow-up, Meals Truck Simulator, was, uh… type of terrible. Drago Leisure has no scarcity of ambition, as they’ve already introduced many titles in growth with comparable ideas. I’ve little doubt that they’re making an attempt to ship high quality titles, and enhancements have been made to all their earlier titles. It simply looks like they’re placing quite a bit on their plate.

Both means, I’m nonetheless trying ahead to making an attempt out Highway Diner Simulator.

Highway Diner Simulator is slated for a PC launch, with consoles following after. There at present is not any introduced launch window.
