Development Diary #6: The Suburbs (Continued)

-



Welcome back to part 2 of the Suburbs. Since the last development diary about the Suburbs, the environmental developers have done more work on the Suburbs such as adding a lovely spacious park with benches and a bandstand that will have some scripted events by the end of the development of Pub Simulator. When you first start playing, you will start off in the luxurious park sat in front of the beautiful bandstand, where you will begin your adventure into the world of Pub Simulator.

 As you can see in the pictures below, the Suburbs have been updated and added to, such as a spacious park with a beautiful bandstand and plenty of benches. Damo's Bar is very near to completion and The houses in the Suburbs will be fully featured and during the game you will be able to decorate and plan out how you want your house to be like, for example: you will be able to add any decor like pictures, ornaments and flowers etc, you will be able to add furniture such as sofas, tv's and beds, you will also be able to add any kitchenware that you would like choosing from a long list of things from classic to premium items in editor mode. As part of the features in the house that you chose, you will have the choice to go to sleep, get changed into many different outfits and many more everyday activities.

 We will keep you updated on what work is being done, so until then enjoy the screenshots below and if anyone has any comments please feel free to leave a comment on the blog.

But that’s just the beginning. 🎮 Combat & AI Overhaul We’ve rebuilt our entire combat and AI systems from the ground up. Expect smarter enemies, tighter mechanics, and more dynamic encounters.

 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...
