- Version Update & Future Outlook: Our Commitment to "Handcrafted Quality" - 24 May 2026
Hello to all the chefs and friends of Midnight Ramen, Since the launch of Midnight Ramen, we have received an abundance of invaluable feedback from all of you. Whether it was encouragement, praise, or constructive criticism, every single message has been essential nourishment for our independent studio. We would like to express our deepest apologies and heartfelt gratitude to all the players who raised concerns and provided feedback. In previous versions, due to limited resources during development, we utilized AI-assisted generation for a very small portion of our visual assets. We know that what many players expect from Midnight Ramen is not just a game, but the unique warmth and emotion conveyed through its visuals and sound. We have deeply reflected on our failure to fully meet your expectations for "handcrafted quality" and original craftsmanship. Today, two years after the game's…

- May 2024 Development Log - 24 May 2024
Hello Chefs! It's the end of the month, and time to update you on our progress! We are nearing the final stages of development, focusing mainly on fixing various bugs, testing, and optimizing the overall experience. Additionally, the development team has confirmed that the game will officially launch in late July this year! Here is this month's progress report: Control Optimization and Click Mode We've added a "click" function to move and place ingredients in the game! Since the release of the Demo, players have reported that dragging operations can cause hand fatigue over long periods. Although reworking the system took some time, we now support click operations! Players will be able to switch cooking operation modes in the settings interface. This feature has also been updated in the Demo version! Bug Fixes The following issues have been fixed, and the Demo version has been updated ac…

Hello, Chefs! It's time for our end-of-month progress report again! The writing of the storyline is finally nearing completion, so we've started to have some extra resources to optimize visuals and interactions. Here is this month's progress report: 1. Animation Performance Optimization Finally, we have some time to work on visual dynamics! Whether it's popup interfaces, ramen bowls, or plates, they now have jelly-like lively animations! 2. Food Residue Effects We've received feedback that hardly anyone finishes the soup in ramen! (Especially with thick soups) And the plates look too clean after eating. So, we've made some minor optimizations. 3. Achievement System Implementation The achievement system has been gradually implemented into the game, and you'll be able to meet them in the official version! Take a look at these icons, can you guess what the achievements might be? 4. New Cha…

Hello Chefs! Thank you all for the numerous suggestions and feedback after the release of the demo. The development team extends our utmost gratitude.

- Midnight Ramen DEMO is officially released! - 8 December 2023
After rigorous testing by the developers, the Midnight Ramen DEMO is finally here to meet everyone! With a total of two chapters and about 30 minutes of gameplay, players will meet six main characters besides the store manager. They include a retired elder who loves beer and tonkotsu ramen, a hardworking engineer working overtime, a lost female student, and a loving couple. While satisfying their taste buds, also listen to their individual troubles and stories. For those who want a challenge, try playing the game after 10 PM and resist the temptation to eat any late-night snacks until you go to bed (laughs). Additionally, wearing headphones can greatly enhance the immersive experience of the game, which is highly recommended. Finally, we would greatly appreciate it if players could fill out a feedback survey after playing. So, are you ready to open for business today?
