Hello Everyone!

Let's start by sharing the anticipated date: Parking Garage Simulator will be released in Early Access on March 6th. In this devlog, we detail the game's progression systems, licensing mechanics, and the risky atmosphere at the beginning of the story.

Skill Panel and Research Desk System

We have added a new panel where you can manage the development of your business. This system acts as a central hub for all the upgrades you need to grow your parking lot.

Progression is now based on three core elements:

  • The money you earn.

  • Overall customer satisfaction.

  • Your own experience, or player level.

Through choices made on the progression tree, you can increase parking capacity, improve flooring and fencing, install new warning systems, or switch to more complex parking layouts. A budget alone will not be enough to unlock new stages; you will need to prove that you are a capable manager.

City Hall, Licenses, and Inspections

Once your business reaches a certain size, official processes come into play. Eventually, you will need to go to City Hall, fill out official forms, and obtain your parking license by signing the necessary documents.

Becoming a legal business brings several changes:

  • More frequent inspections.

  • Strict rules that must be followed.

  • Serious legal consequences for mistakes.

While managing a licensed business seems like a safer path, the increased responsibilities will make management more stressful.

Illegal Start: The Street Hustle Era

At the beginning of the story, not everything proceeds legally. You start your career as an unlicensed parking operator where there are no rules and the risk is high.

While earning quick money is tempting at this stage, the risk is always present:

  • Tense encounters with the police.

  • A process that leads to a holding cell as a result of wrong choices.

When you wake up in custody, you will have to make a choice. Will you continue to grow the risk and stay on the illegal path, or will you strive to become an official business?

A Story Told Through Systems

All these mechanics are designed to tell the story of the game not just through text, but through gameplay. In this journey from illegal street parking to a licensed business, every decision you make will directly affect the difficulty level and the stability of your business.

See you in Early Access on March 6th. This is just the beginning.
