Development Diary #5: The Suburbs

-


Here at Yellow Noodle Games, we are happy to announce another development diary on our game Pub Simulator. We have added many things and still working hard to cook up this great new game for all you gamers out there. We would like to thank everyone who has joined and continued to follow us on this epic journey to a amazing and fun game. we hope you enjoy the journey and continue to follow along.

This week in our game lab we have been working busier than bees in a hive (obviously not making honey), we are introducing a Day/Night cycle to the game to give you more of a realistic experience with the game and so you can experience different types of the day and night whether it be busy or quiet. We have added suburbs but are still currently working on adding more and are working very hard to make the game the best it can be for all you fellow gamers who are interested in letting your inner bartender run free. As one of many major updates this week we have made all interiors of the main house fully interactable as if you were to actually be in the game, which also gives you more of a realistic experience for the game.

The following screenshots and video show the amazing work so far in this game straight from the developers screen, although in the video it is not the final product as there will be many changes and updates to it, it is a taste of what could be in the game by the end of development:

The goal? To make every battle feel responsive, challenging, and deeply immersive. 🧭 Menu Redesign Our UI/UX team has reimagined the game’s menus to better reflect Raveren’s atmospheric tone. The new design is sleek, intuitive, and built for immersion—whether you’re navigating inventory, adjusting settings, or diving into lore. 🌍 Worldbuilding in Motion Meanwhile, our environments team has been hard at work shaping the many landscapes you’ll traverse.

Development Diary #3

 Welcome to Octobers Dev Diary Development Update Welcome to this month’s development update from PixelPunk Studios. September brought a flurry of activity across design, systems, and playtesting for Raveren, and the team has made steady, visible progress toward a tighter, more balanced alpha experience. Progress and highlights • HUD and UX: We implemented a full in‑game HUD, including a working minimap, clearer player status indicators, and contextual prompts. The HUD now cleanly communicates player position, nearby objectives, and active status effects, which has already improved playtesters’ situational awareness. • Health system overhaul: Based on player feedback, we rebuilt the health system from the ground up. The previous design felt unforgiving: player deaths occurred too quickly and recovery options were limited. The new system smooths damage pacing, increases readability of incoming damage, and introduces more consistent healing opportunities to keep gameplay engaging...
