Update: Renovation, Reputation & Rumble

1:34am

First of all - happy New Year!

We wish both you and ourselves plenty of free time to enjoy games and other passions, as well as many great releases and exciting discoveries in the months ahead. We’ve just returned from our holiday break, refreshed and ready to jump back into work on Saloon Simulator with renewed energy.

In the update you can download today, you’ll find several brand-new mechanics designed to make running and expanding your saloon more engaging while you wait for the next chapter of the story.

Employee Customization

In the previous update, you got to know all four employee roles: the cook, waiter, cleaner, and bartender. Starting today, you can do more than just rely on their help - you can also customize how each of them looks.

For every employee role, we’ve prepared six outfit sets that you can freely mix and match to create your own combinations.

Reputation

After finishing the Early Access storyline, we felt the game was missing a more meaningful progression system. That’s why we’ve introduced Reputation.

You’ll earn Reputation points by working for the saloon, and reaching higher Reputation ranks will unlock rewards. We’re still expanding the reward pool, but starting today you can already earn a small financial bonus - and, more importantly, Mr. Locke’s permission to renovate additional guest rooms.

This system also comes with a new complication. It’s been a while since you last paid tribute to Mr. Locke, and it’s time for our “creditor” to remind us of our debt. Once a week, you’ll need to set aside part of your earnings to cover another payment.

Pickpocketing

Alongside the legal Reputation system tied to running your saloon, we’re also laying the groundwork for a criminal reputation system that will arrive soon. It will be connected to the underworld mechanics - dismantling wagons with W., moonshining later on, and now, pickpocketing.

A drunk customer in your saloon may lose all their valuable belongings - straight into your pockets. Just sneak up behind them and transfer their goods from their pockets into your bag. Simple, right?

Fistfight

Of course, if you get caught in the act, you’ll have to defend your good name with your fists.
Prove your endurance and reflexes, and you’ll be able to keep everything you managed to steal.

Update: Waiter, Cleaner, and Employee Management!

Dec 16, 2025

Hey there!
Today we’re releasing the biggest update since the game entered Early Access. It introduces two new employees – the waiter and the cleaner – along with the full hiring and training system for all staff members. With this update, the core functionality of the employee system is now complete.

In the next patches, each employee will receive their own unique appearance (our artists are still working on those), voice acting, reaction lines, and the option to customize their outfits.

The Waiter

A new member has joined your saloon crew: the waiter!
Make sure the pots contain the right meals (either prepared by you or by the cook), and the waiter will handle the rest: serving dishes, collecting payments, and keeping the tables clean.

Pay close attention to their stats, though!
Waiters with low proficiency are more likely to serve customers the wrong meal, so a bit of training might go a long way.

The Cleaner

Dust and sand will always find their way into a saloon, especially with guests coming straight from the outdoors. That’s where the cleaner comes in.
From the moment you hire them, the cleaner will take care of your floors and keep the entire saloon tidy.

Employee Management:

1. Recruit

Head over to the station and interact with the job board. There you can browse applications and choose employees who match your needs and budget. Pay attention to “ambitious” and “promising” applicants – they may start with lower stats, but they learn much faster, making them more valuable in the long run.

2. Welcome

A hired employee will start working as soon as you open the saloon. You can’t talk to them just yet, but you can observe their work and decide whether they might benefit from some training.

3. Pay

Employees need to be paid every day.
You can pay them manually – just walk up to a worker, left-click, and choose “Pay” from the management menu.
If you’d rather not think about it every day, you can turn on automatic payments, but make sure you have enough money in the office safe.

4. Train

If a worker makes too many mistakes or works too slowly, you don’t have to fire them immediately – you can send them to training, which increases one of their stats. To do this, click on the employee, pay their daily wage, and then choose the training option.

5. Give Us Feedback!

Please share your impressions of the employee system, either below this post or on our Discord.
Let us know what you think about the balance between wages and income, and tell us what you’d like us to adjust or improve!

New Furniture

As always, we’re adding a fresh batch of furniture items you can use to decorate your saloon.
Be sure to check out Addie’s expanded selection of cosmetic items!

Thank you so much for your support, feedback, and involvement – it’s what keeps us going.
As always, we invite you to join our official Saloon Simulator Discord.
It’s the best place to stay up to date with the latest news, share feedback, and chat with the developers and other players.
