Tire Dealer Simulator Demo · published
Hello, tire dealers!
We have released a new hotfix focused on improving the tutorial experience, customer flow, HUD clarity, controls, and audio settings.
Fixed an issue that could stop normal customers from arriving while the tutorial was still active.
New customers can now continue arriving after the tutorial sale has been accepted.
Customers may arrive while you are working on another vehicle, keeping the workshop active and challenging.
Tutorial conversations still pause the game clock, giving new players enough time to read and learn.
The shop closes at 18:00, and no new customers arrive after closing.
Expanded the tutorial with clearer instructions for the complete tire service process.
Added visual highlights and directional arrows to guide players toward important controls and interface elements.
Added dialogue tutorials explaining customer trust, requested tire size, tire cost, and estimated market price.
Improved the tutorial’s progress tracking and recovery when a tutorial customer becomes unavailable.
Added clearer instructions for changing tires, using machines, balancing wheels, completing payment, and ordering new stock.
After the Act I introduction, new information cards now explain:
Customers can arrive at any time before the shop closes at 18:00.
The date and time display shows the current working hours.
One in-game month lasts five days.
A new month begins after the fifth day.
Each message pauses the game until the player selects “Got It,” and animated arrows point directly toward the relevant section of the date and time display.
These messages are shown once per save file.
Added a new customer waiting notification.
Customers waiting to be greeted now display a visible countdown.
The most urgent waiting customer is shown in the side panel.
Warning colors and audio alerts indicate when a customer is close to leaving.
Company contract customers receive a separate visual indicator.
Added a live date, time, weekday, time-of-day, and shop-status display.
The HUD clearly shows whether the shop is open or closed.
Added a day-end notification explaining how to begin a new day.
Improved visibility handling while menus, Act introductions, and completion screens are open.
The impact wrench now displays all important controls in one panel:
U — Remove Mode
I — Install Mode
G — Drop
R — Return
The active wrench mode remains highlighted for easier recognition.
Fixed rain ambience ignoring the SFX volume setting.
Rain volume now responds correctly to the SFX slider.
Setting SFX volume to zero completely mutes the rain.
Indoor and outdoor rain-volume differences are still preserved.
All newly added tutorial messages, shop-hours information, calendar guidance, customer notifications, and impact-wrench controls are available in all 14 supported languages.
Thank you for playing and for sharing your feedback. We will continue improving the workshop experience with future updates!
