Version Update & Future Outlook: Our Commitment to "Handcrafted Quality"

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 release and having recovered a portion of our development costs, we return to you with a firm commitment: In this update, we have completely replaced all AI-generated visual resources in the game with 100% hand-drawn art assets. Furthermore, we want to clarify the future creative stance of Cointinue Games: In all future development projects, we pledge never to use any AI-generated assets for "visuals, images, or sound effects."We do not intend to condemn the development of technology, but we have become more certain of the path we wish to walk. We want every future work of ours, whether visual or auditory, to be infused with the soul and emotion poured in stroke by stroke, note by note, by human creators. This is our respect to our players, and it is the sole creative direction for our studio going forward. Midnight Ramen is like a hot bowl of soup served on a freezing night—it should be warm and pure. Thank you for holding us to the highest standards, giving us the opportunity to correct our mistakes and become better. The new version is now live, and we sincerely invite you to come back and see the brand-new scenery we have personally hand-drawn for you. Moving forward, we will continue to uphold this dedication to handcrafted quality and keep moving forward with our feet firmly on the ground.
