- Dev-Log 16 - 28 June 2026
The development of the update is almost complete. We are currently just waiting for approval from Steam.As this is beyond our control, unfortunately we can’t provide an exact date yet. We would have loved to release the update and the DLC sooner.Developing the new map took longer than we initially anticipated, but continuing to use the old map wasn’t a sustainable solution.Our aim was to ensure that future DLCs wouldn’t require constant, time-consuming overhauls, and that we could instead expand the game more easily and quickly.When designing the new map, we wanted to address your requests for a city centre setting while maintaining large open areas, to strike a balance.We essentially started from scratch with the new map. This meant that everything — including various walking paths, stopping points, seating areas, queues, lighting, sound ranges, occlusion, barriers, collisions, etc. —…

Dev Log 15 – Fairground Online Over the past few weeks, a lot of work has once again been done on Fairground Online. This time, the main focus was on the future of the game, the atmosphere on the map, and your community feedback.The map has been completely rebuiltThe biggest change concerns the map itself: The map has been completely rebuilt and made significantly more future-proof from a technical perspective. This allows future rides and expansions to be integrated more easily. The new structure gives us more possibilities for upcoming rides, better placement, and a cleaner ongoing development process for Fairground Online.Starlight ticket booth now placed separatelyBased on community requests and your feedback, the Starlight ticket booth has been adjusted. It is now placed separately on the left-hand side. This makes the entrance area feel clearer and closer to what many of you had w…
- Weekly Dev-Log 14 - 13 June 2026
Hey, community!We have already reached some important milestones for the Flipper.Beta testing is going very well, and we have found the final location for the Flipper on our map. We don't want to reveal the exact location just yet, but we've hidden some clues in our images. Can you guess where the Flipper is?We’re currently creating the shop page for the Flipper so that we can submit it for Steam review. Once that’s done, nothing will stand in the way of the release.As soon as we receive approval from Steam, we’ll announce the release date.At the same time, we’re revamping the game’s store page and adding more detailed descriptions and updated images.Aside from the Flipper, other things have been happening: The BreakDancer has been fitted with staircase lighting and the diamond’s lighting has been updated.In response to many users' requests, we are also finally adding a portable restroo…

We’ve made significant progress over the past few days. We’ve reached our biggest milestone yet: the pinball machine is now complete! People have been fully integrated into the ride, and all key features are in place. This means the pinball ride can move on to full beta testing, where we can find any remaining bugs and further optimize the experience for riders.However, it's not just the Pinball that has been improved. We’ve added new positions for the people on every ride. As a result, they behave much more realistically. Visitors now actively hand over their tokens, making it much easier to collect them.Additionally, they can now correctly lower the safety bars. Depending on whether the bar is open or closed, they assume different seating positions. These changes significantly boost the realism of the rides and make them feel more lively.We’ve also finally found a suitable spot for th…

Hey community,This will be a short development log because we’re working intensely on the flipper.It’s already in its first closed beta testing phase, and we've tweaked many small details to ensure you get the best possible experience later on.The SAD console display now shows all the correct information, and the staff can fully control the ride. We’re currently working on integrating guests so they’ll soon be able to ride along.We're also making a small improvement for guests. In the future, they will hold out the tokens for you, making them easier to collect.We're also planning to integrate the pinball machine into our map. We'll show you exactly what it will look like later, though, since we still want to experiment with different options.
- Pinball Alpha Footage - 28 May 2026

- Weekly Dev-Log 11 - 24 May 2026
Hey, community! A lot has happened over the past few days. The Flipper panel is already complete. Based on the earlier vote, we've decided to use the SAD panel. It’s now fully functional, and the flipper can be controlled. Additionally, we fine-tuned the physics, made a few minor adjustments, and added the original sounds we recorded from a real flipper. Now, all that’s missing are people and a few more details. We'll release a teaser video for the Flipper within the next week. We've fixed various bugs and are working to resolve additional issues caused by the last update. As always, a complete list of fixed bugs will be available as soon as this update is released.
- Weekly Dev-Log 10 - 15 May 2026
Hey, community! The Game Booth update has been released, and we're diving right back in! We're finally getting started on the flipper. As you know, we've already finished designing the flipper model. However, one essential component is still missing: the control panel. In addition to modeling the control panel, we're starting the programming work so the flipper can soon be brought to life and controlled by you. We’d like to let you decide which control panel the flipper should have: the old one from HUSS Rides or the new one from SAD. The two panels differ mainly in size and functions. For example, the modern control system requires release buttons to be pressed twice. Attached is the link to the poll. Voting is open until Monday, May 18, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. UTC +2. https://strawpoll.com/GJn44LBjYnz

Hey, community! We’ve been in the beta phase of the game booth update for a few days now. We still have some tweaks to make, such as improving the way the Peeps hold the game booth items and refining their movements. In addition to intensive beta testing, we've made a few other changes and additions. - Inverse kinematics have been added to allow the Peeps to hold onto objects. For now, we’ll use this feature to enable the Peeps to hold the game booth items in their hands. In the future, we’ll also use it to enable the Peeps to hold onto things like handrails. - The running lights have been completely overhauled to improve performance. - Seating positions for benches have been added so the Peeps can sit in the beer garden, making the area look more crowded. - The maximum number of Peeps on the Break Dancer has been adjusted so that it no longer looks overcrowded when other rides are clos…
