Hi everyone! As a solo game developer, I’m listening closely to player feedback and doing my best to improve the game with every update. Here are a few ideas I have. You can write in the comments or on discord server, so I have some directions.
Toll Booth Evolution
Upgrading your simple gate into a massive operation! Progressing from manual passenger booths all the way to an automated "TOLL" system, where drivers with passes go through automatically when they buy a special PASS card that needs to be placed on the car.
Road Transport Inspection
Adding dedicated side lanes specifically for BIG trucks. You'd need to check their weight, inspect their cargo, and verify their documents.
Drive-Thru Services
Instead of making drivers park, what if you could build food, and souvenir booths right at the toll plaza? You could serve people while they wait in line! (And yes, maybe charge them for using the plaza toilets.)
Illegal Trespassers & Chaos
Some drivers won't take "no" for an answer. They will speed up, smash right through your barriers, and cause absolute chaos! Maybe just accept a fat bribe to look the other way.
Security & Contraband
Looking out for wanted criminals based on random police photos,
Hired workers
Workers will have a hunger system, meaning they will need food to restore their energy and continue working.
When you aren't managing the gates, there is a whole world of (sometimes very shady) business to run.
The Farm-to-Road Loop
Growing crops, raising animals, and preparing food (like fresh sushi!) to sell directly at your toll booth stands.
New restaurant building
where you can enter and sell mocktail drinks to customers inside. Also orders will be placed through restaurants, and we’ll be able to deliver the requested mocktails and generate revenue.
New purchasable building.
This building will include multiple pots and mocktail mixers, allowing you to produce more efficiently without handling everything one by one.
New larger mocktail mixer.
Produce multiple mocktails at once instead of preparing them one by one.
Full Gamepad Support So you can sit back and control your roadside empire with your favorite controller.
Steam Deck Compatibility I want to make sure the game is fully playable and optimized for the Steam Deck!
I’m also very active on Discord, where players share suggestions and report issues. I regularly review everything there and implement changes as quickly as I can. I also talk closely with players on Discord and actively listen to feedback, suggestions, and bug reports there.

There’s much more coming beyond just these changes, and I’ll keep sharing updates along the way. Thanks again for all your feedback, it really helps shape the game in the right direction.
