- Neon Noodles #14 - The Charred Update - 17 November 2022
As the name suggests, this is a "burn everything" kind of update, lots of big changes!! Unfortunately, it's also a complete score-wipe, save-reset, progression-clean kind of update. The big news here is that this makes Neon Noodles complete "content-wise" (though not quite "feature-wise" yet). Read on. All the levels, mechanics, tools, and the story (missing the end for now) are now in the game. Everything else that remains is tagged under Quality of Life (see Roadmap Steam post for more details). Here's everything that changed: breaking changes progression/saves/metrics/recipes, so complete scores/saves/progression wipe! finalized level progression, lots more levels, easily 2x play time compared to before many more yummy foods from everywhere story (without ending) updated Steam page description to be in line with the story teleport tweaks station priority/double use error improvements…

- Neon Noodles #12 - The Timeline Update - 17 May 2022

New font and UI pass to accommodate it. New companion tab icons Here's how the "scanline" transition looks now wit…
- Neon Noodles #11 - The Companion Update - 5 April 2022
Important: this update is currently on the beta branch only! This is quite a significant update, but some things are not finalized, so it only goes into the beta branch on Steam for now. Here are the major changes: Completely new Companion - this covers all the "non-game" part of the game, and it sets the stage for how the story will be delivered too. Full mouse, controller and keyboard support for the companion Dynamic color change based on level New tutorial - this is a video-based approach, vaguely inspired by Frostpunk. New levels/introduction to key concepts A read/unread flag for all of the tutorial entries Tutorial entries available for later viewing in the Companion Level start transitions - a "scanline" approach to fading the levels in that provides depth, while being very performance focused Performance improvements - some of this was for the new stuff, but lots of work went i…
