Road Diner Simulator News

Welcome back to another development update from your beloved Road Diner Simulator. The last announcement about the cooking in RDS exceeded our expectations when it comes to the engagement which I’m more than grateful for. If you somehow missed it, you can freely catch up by clicking this link as it’s strictly connected to today's one.

Today, we’re gonna delve deeper into one of the things that give everyone some sleepless nights. Yes, I’m talking about you god damn employees. I’m gonna do my best to give you some details regarding how employees are gonna work in Road Diner Simulator and finally together we’ll try to answer that one tricky question from the title – can a customer become my employee? Are you ready to roll? Grab yourself your favourite drink, cover yourself with a warm blanket, and let’s get right into it 👇



[h2]How are the employees gonna work in the Road Diner Simulator? 🤔[/h2]

Remember the saying from the previous announcement – It’s not about the cooking – it’s about the stories you uncover? Well that perfectly sums up how you’re gonna be able to hire your employees. But first it’s important to distinguish the difference between a passerby client and a regular one. Let me get straight to the point – passerby is just a money making machine – you won’t be able to build a deeper connection with them. With regular clients that’s a totally different story.

With each all set meal served and each conversation finished, you increase your relationship level with them which uncover their stories, past, and most importantly character. And so we come to this – you’re more likely to remember those regulars (just like in real road diner) hence in a blink of an eye you’ll know what kind of dish they’re most into. Or maybe you want to get some tips regarding running this place? Then, study their behaviour, make sure the meals you serve are top-notch quality, and they might offer something really valuable – knowledge. And as the saying goes – knowledge is power. And the others among regular clients…

[h2]...May become your employees 💥[/h2]

So, to finally answer that question from the title – yes, your customers can become your full time employees. However, it’s not as easy as you might be thinking right now. As mentioned above – first you need to really get to know them to see if they’re fit for a job (for instance one might be great at cooking, and the other might have the necessary knowledge to help you run this place).

However, being fit for the job is one thing, and character is the other. Some employees might get angry way faster than the others. The others might have some negative perks (imagine the situation when one of your customers is impatiently waiting for the order, but your chef forgot what’s the recipe. That’s rather the recipe for disaster 🥶). And some might demand the payment way faster than the others. Imagine if that would be possible in real life as well…

I’m really interested to see some of your crazy ideas, suggestions, and what you think about the whole system regarding the employees in Road Diner Simulator. Comment section is yours! Keep those comments coming as we’re constantly analyzing them to see your suggestions!

Now, similarly to the previous devlog, I’d like to know if you have any ideas/topics you want us to delve into? Maybe there is a feature you’re interested in, so make sure to share such information with me in the comments. That’s it from me, and we see each other in the next announcement! 👋

It’s that time of the year again, and no – I’m not talking about Christmas (yet). We’re back again with another development update from Road Diner Simulator. We’ve seen dozens of comments from the community whether the game is still in production (of course it is) but I’ll give you some updates regarding that soon!

Today, we’re gonna delve into cooking in the Road Diner Simulator and basically what you can expect from the game in that matter. As Gordon Ramsay used to say – If you want to become a great chef, you have to work with great chefs, so are you ready to become one? Then, let’s roll! 🔥

[h2]What Road Diner Simulator isn’t 👀[/h2]

Let me get straight to the point – Road Diner Simulator is not a typical Cooking Simulator (which is a great game by the way). It’s not just about running around the kitchen like a headless chicken and paying little to zero attention to your clients – our game delves way deeper than that. Sure, cooking still plays a very crucial role in the game, but it’s not just about cooking – it’s about the stories you uncover.

[h2]It’s not just about cooking – it’s about the stories you uncover 🍖[/h2]

I’m using this saying not without a reason. The whole idea of cooking in our game is to get to know your clients, set up the foundations and then build stronger connections with them literally through their stomachs. The more time you sacrifice into actually “studying” your clients, the better connections you will be able to build. Some may turn into your regular customers. Others may give you some tips & tricks regarding running your own diner, because they’ve been there before. Some may even help you expand your business. And the others… well who knows – maybe they will turn into your employee one day?

[h2]What is it gonna look like? 🤔[/h2]

Now, let’s proceed to the more technical side of cooking in RDS. Those of you who are familiar with Gas Station Simulator know precisely how the whole game is constructed. Since the beginning of the Road Diner Simulator production we’ve carefully analyzed your feedback and suggestions and we want to achieve something similar, yet take it to the next level.

So, let me give you an example: Let’s say you want to prepare a classic Road Diner breakfast – scrambled eggs with bacon or sausage. You can approach it slowly and gently, step-by-step, ingredient by ingredient, but this costs time. Obviously, we won’t forbid you from running your own cozy diner with not much noise.

However, if you’re looking for a challenge or for new ways to earn money quickly, that’s also possible. Each mini game gives you an opportunity to risk more. For instance: You can do multiple things at a time risking burning the above mentioned scrambled eggs and instead make an omelet.


That’s why sayings like “Never Give Up” or “Practice Makes Perfect” have their use in Road Diner Simulator as well. Obviously, there will be some ways to calm those impatient clients – to be honest not sure what kind of ways but maybe a free coffee top-up would do the trick? I would be delighted to say the least.

[h2]Stay in the loop 📰[/h2]

And that’s it for today, future diner owners! I’m really curious to see your thoughts regarding cooking in the Road Diner Simulator. Let me know in the comments down below what you think about the whole system. Also, if some of you have any suggestions to the game, don’t hesitate to leave your answers below as well.

Now, I wanna know what would you like to see next? I already have in mind what I would like to show, but if there is anything that you’re curious about, fire it away in the comments. I’m gonna make sure to keep you guys updated on a regular basis from now on, so you can expect another announcement from me by the end of next month (definitely before Christmas tho). Until the next devlog!

P.S Our friends at Biotech Gameworks have just made available the long-awaited update to Kebab Chefs! - Restaurant Simulator, so I thought it was worth sharing this information with you.

There is a very interesting read on Gas Station Simulator about bonuses and penalties and how they will work across all 3 games in the gas station universe:

https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1149620/view/3721705159474906459


There is quite a lot of information about Road Diner in particular in there as some of the examples are based on new customer types that will come to Road Diner first. Not to mention the concept of bonuses and penalties from one game crossing into other games in itself is quite fascinating, too. If you played Gas Station Simulator and buy Road Diner once we release it, the time you spent on building up and improving your gas station will directly influence your diner from day 1.

So go and read all about in the link above. And when you are done reading about what the future holds, have a look at the present: we released 2 updates for the Airstrip DLC and another hotfix yesterday so go and check that out:
