Hello Drive Thru Fans!

As independent developers, we are working hard to bring you the best gaming experience possible.

With our latest updates, we’ve added many new features and improvements to make the game smoother and more fun. Here are the highlights before Early Access:

🚗 Customer and Environment Updates

Smoother and More Realistic Movements: Customer animations have been refreshed, and critical bugs from previous versions that could freeze the game have been fixed. Vehicles now move more naturally, making the Drive Thru experience even more enjoyable. ✅
Feedback System (In Development): We are working on a system where customers can give both voice and text feedback after their orders. This will bring the atmosphere even closer to a true Drive Thru experience.
New Map and Town Atmosphere: New roads, buildings, and environmental details bring the town to life. ✅
Lively NPCs (In Development): NPCs roaming the area will add more life to the world around your restaurant.

📋 Restaurant Management

Menu Control: With the new “Menu Control Panel,” you can easily adjust your menu using your in-game computer. Simple, fast, and intuitive.
Small Compact Restaurant: You start the game with a modest restaurant. As you gain more customers and revenue, you’ll have the opportunity to expand your kitchen.

🎨 Visual and Audio Improvements

New Visual Effects: From cooking effects to dirt buildup, and special areas like cold storage, many atmospheric effects have been updated to offer a more vibrant and immersive experience.
New Designs (UI/UX): The interface has been completely redesigned to be both visually pleasing and easy to use.
New Sound Effects (In Development): We are working on fun and realistic sound effects to enhance the game’s feel. Coming soon. 🎧

📚 Gameplay and Systems

New Tutorial Flow: A redesigned tutorial system helps new players learn while playing, without overwhelming menus.
Save System: The save system is now fully functional. Save your restaurant safely and continue right where you left off.

🛠️ Technical Improvements

Bug Fixes: Major issues have been resolved, and problems that disrupted gameplay have been fixed.
Optimization Improvements: Performance has been improved across the game, with optimized lighting and post-processing for more stable FPS and smoother visuals.

Hello Chefs! 👨‍🍳

As independent developers, we’ve been working hard to bring you the best experience possible.

In our last update, we made the tough decision to postpone the release of the Prologue version. We wanted to make sure everything was just right – and now, the wait is finally over!

New Features Are Here! 🎉

We’ve been working non-stop to add brand new mechanics and polish existing ones. Your feedback has been a huge part of this journey – thank you for helping shape the game! Let’s dive into what’s new:

Placement! 🧱

You can now place and move objects wherever you want in your restaurant! Organize your kitchen layout to match your style and efficiency. Freedom is yours!

Pizza Station! 🍕

Yes, pizza is now officially on the menu! Prepare dough, add toppings, bake it right, and keep those slices coming. Get creative with your orders and keep customers happy!

Kebab (Doner) Station 🌯

Spice things up with the all new doner station! Slice from the rotating grill, serve it in bread or wraps, and become a kebab master.

Grill Zones! 🔥

Not every spot on the grill is the same anymore. Some areas are hotter and cook faster, while others are cooler. Pay attention to where you place your food – timing matters more than ever!

Repair Mechanic! 🛠️

Machines wear out with use. If you ignore them too long, they can break or worse, catch fire! Keep your equipment in top shape with regular maintenance and avoid disasters.

Level System 📈

We’ve added a level system! Gain XP by running your restaurant, and unlock better machines, tools, and features as you level up. Progression has never been this fun!

Fry Station! 🍟

French fries are now here to make your customers even happier! Use the new multiple fryer system to serve them fast and crispy. No one likes soggy fries, right?

Also, we have great news! You’ll be able to access the demo version of Drive Thru Simulator during the ‘‘Steam Next Fest 2024’’ event in October.

Step Into the World of Fast Food! 🍔

Are you ready to keep up with the fast pace of the fast food world? We have prepared an intense, fun, and challenging experience that will make you feel like you're in a real fast food restaurant.

New Features ✨

We are continuing to develop our game based on your feedback and needs. We will keep adding all the essential features that a fast food restaurant should have over time.

Deliverable Foods and Machines! 🍕🍟🍔

Burger Making 🍔

You will be able to prepare delicious hamburgers by looking at the burger preparation area. Your goal in this event is to place the correct ingredients for the specified types of burgers and prepare your perfect hamburger!

Pizza Making 🍕

We’re excited to bring you a new update for pizza lovers! In our game, you can show off your skills by preparing pizzas. After the pizzas are placed in the pizza oven, they must be baked to perfection and then packaged and ready for service.

Fry Making 🍟

Time to get your kitchen ready for crispy fries! Are you ready to prepare the best fries and boost your customer satisfaction?

❗Remember: Undercooked or burnt items will negatively affect your customer satisfaction. By preparing perfectly cooked products, you can take your customer satisfaction to the top.

Deliverable Drinks and Machines! ☕ 🥤

Coffee Machine ☕

Great news for coffee lovers! Now, you can make coffee in our game to keep your customers happy. To prepare coffee, you first need to order S, M, and L cups from the computer system.

Soda Machine 🥤

How about preparing refreshing sodas? With the soda machine, we’re adding even more flavor to the game! You will need to order soda options from the computer system.

User Interface and Experience! 🖥️

Our game interface is largely complete, and it has now entered the polish phase. Based on your feedback, we will continue to make various improvements, especially in notification systems and HUD (heads-up display) sections.

Storage Areas 📦

We continue to develop the game to enrich your experience. With the storage areas we’ve added to the game, you will be able to increase your service speed and maximize customer satisfaction.

Deep Freezer Area 🧊: A special deep freezer area is available to everyone at the start of the game. This area is reserved for burger ingredients by default, and you’ll be able to expand it with money to store various frozen products.

Market System 🛒

Online Market 💻

Our online market, designed to meet your in-game needs, serves as a virtual shopping center where you can find everything, including tools and ingredients. Thanks to the catalog feature, you can quickly find the products you need and easily place your orders.

Cargo Packages 📦

Your orders are carefully packaged and delivered to your doorstep in cargo packages. You can open the packages, place the items in your storage areas, or use them directly in your production areas.

Economy System 💸

Dear Drive Thru Simulator players, we have worked on a system that will make cash transactions more realistic and interactive!

Detailed Money Tracking 🔍

When you receive payments from customers, you will be able to see the amount received, the total order price, the amount of change to be returned, and the amount currently being returned on your cash register screen. After each transaction, this information will be updated, allowing you to fully track the flow of money.

Physical Money Interaction 💵

Money is physically present in the cash register and is interactive! While giving and receiving money, you can handle the transactions realistically, ensuring you give the correct amounts to keep customers happy.

Incorrect Payment Results 📉

Be careful; if you give too much money, the extra amount cannot be recovered, which will result in a loss for you. If you make an underpayment, customer satisfaction will be negatively affected, leading to potential customer loss.
