Editorial policy

A guide asks for a little of your time and trust. In return, it should help you understand the game, show where its answers come from and make its limits easy to see. This is how Ramen Sim HQ approaches that responsibility.

There is a responsibility behind each page

Ramen Sim HQ is the publishing name of this independent English-language guide to Japanese Ramen Simulator. The site operator is responsible for what appears here and can be reached at yoosenjet@luxenastudio.com. It is not a public-editing wiki and has no official role with Wild Dog or Valve.

Whether you are checking the published PC requirements, trying to recognise a kitchen task or planning a session with friends, the aim is to leave you with something useful: an explanation you can follow, a source you can check or a plan you can adapt. Read About & sources for the game and the scope of this site.

Make the answer traceable

Game facts should lead back to Wild Dog’s website, the Steam listing or an identifiable developer announcement. A link should support the particular claim beside it. If the original source leaves a detail open, that detail stays open here.

Different kinds of material answer different questions. An official announcement can establish what the developer has stated. A screenshot can help you recognise an object or a scene. An editorial suggestion can help your group decide what to try. Our evidence labels make those distinctions visible.

For example, a preview image can show a noodle strainer, but it cannot establish the button to use or how long to cook a bowl. The shift planner offers starting ideas for a conversation; its assignments are not measured results. The current site does not claim release-build testing.

To call a future guide tested, it needs a named build, relevant conditions, recorded actions and results. A recipe comparison also needs quantities and costs; a performance claim needs hardware, settings and measurements. These details let another reader understand the conditions behind an answer and notice when their own situation differs.

Be open about how the pages are made

AI tools assist with drafting, organising material, building pages and creating the site’s independent bowl illustration. AI output is not a source for game facts. A confidently written sentence still needs support from the cited material; uncertain details are labelled or omitted. Responsibility for the published page stays with the site operator.

The numbered kitchen images add explanations over official preview screenshots. They are not screenshots from our own playthrough. Labels and commentary should help you read the image without making it appear to demonstrate an untested action or result. The red-and-white bowl mark is an original AI-generated site illustration, not the official game icon.

Source credits identify where game media came from. They do not establish ownership, endorsement or a separate permission to reuse it. Questions about an image or its attribution belong at the same contact address as a factual correction. The site and media disclaimer explains that boundary.

Leave a clear trail when information changes

A source-check date tells you when the material was reviewed. It does not make an older screenshot a current game test. Availability, prices and updates can change after that review, so the official Steam listing and developer website remain the places to confirm them.

A corrected release status or a substantial guide revision should have an updated check date. When the old information could affect a reader’s decision, the page should also explain what changed. A date is useful when it helps you judge the answer’s relevance; it should not suggest testing that did not happen.

Make room for the reader who spots a problem

You should be able to question a guide without having to write a replacement for it. Email yoosenjet@luxenastudio.com with the page address, the claim concerned and any supporting material you have. A confusing phrase, an unclear image label or a tool that behaves unexpectedly is worth reporting too. What to include in a report →

The next step is to compare the report with the cited source or, for a gameplay claim, the build and conditions behind it. Confirmed mistakes should be corrected on the affected page, with material changes explained. If the evidence is incomplete or conflicting, the uncertainty should remain visible. Not every proposed addition will be published.

Reader messages and images are not automatically public contributions. If a quotation, screenshot or observation would be useful to publish, publication and credit need to be agreed separately. A report can help improve the site without becoming a public story about the person who sent it.

Keep commercial interests visible

The current site has no sponsored placements, affiliate links or advertising scripts. Links to Steam and Wild Dog identify the official game and original sources; they do not represent a partnership or endorsement.

If commercial relationships are introduced, the relevant coverage should identify them. A payment or free copy should be disclosed beside the material it relates to. Readers should be able to see that relationship and still inspect the evidence supporting each factual claim.
