Dead Diner Development Update - January 2024
The Dev Team•January 30, 2024•Developer Update

We're excited to share our latest progress on Dead Diner! This month has been particularly productive
as we've implemented several key features and mechanics that really bring the haunted restaurant
experience to life.
New Ghost Mechanics
------------------
We've completely revamped how ghosts interact with the restaurant environment. Now, each spectral
patron has unique behaviors and preferences that affect both their ordering patterns and how they
interact with other customers. Some ghosts might phase through walls to reach their preferred seats,
while others might possess the furniture just to mess with you!
Kitchen Upgrades
---------------
The kitchen system has been expanded with supernatural elements. You can now install ectoplasm-powered
appliances that cook food faster but are more unstable. We've also added a new "spirit seasoning"
mechanic that lets you customize dishes to each ghost's specific tastes.
What's Next?
-----------
In the coming weeks, we'll be focusing on:
- Implementing the staff management system
- Adding more ghostly customer types
- Polishing the visual effects for supernatural events
- Expanding the menu with more spectral specialties
Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to develop the most haunted restaurant management game
you've ever played!
