Dorm Janitor's Revenge news & patch notes

Version 1.1

Bug fixes: Degradation sequence black screen, detective's second encounter not ending, etc.

Dorm Janitor's Revenge is leaving early access now.

It's been a long development cycle and I can finally say there is enough content for full release. And of course, there will be hopefully content updates post 1.0 as well.

Also, a huge shoutout to the players who played the early access and helped taking DJR this far. Very grateful to the community this small old school project has created.

That's all guys~ Have fun!

Early Access 0.9.9

- Added more dream/nightmare scenes.

- Added Yuzuriha's laptop interaction. You can access it and reveal things as you progress.

- Added more assets for existing scenes: MC, Siri, Elize, etc

- Balanced masturbating on Elize event, some items, obedience, etc.

- Minor improvements.

The 1.0 release will hit around 24th June. (~2 weeks from now)

It's been a long development cycle and I can finally say there is enough content in the game to push a full release. So I am excited to announce the date.

Also, those who are interested, there will be updates post full release. Just less frequent and in big chunks whenever possible.

The Demo has also been updated to a definitive version.

Addressing the negative feedback...

Since the early access launch the reviews have been mostly negative. Most of those issues were addressed since then. However, there still have been some feedback saying it's slow and confusing despite the store page and in-game warnings. Guys, the game unfortunately doesn't play itself or hold your hand on the yellow carpet as pointed out in many occasions.

If you've bought it without playing the demo and expected something else, just take advantage of the Steam refund policy. I know it's not for everybody and it's not meant to be either. It's an old school game built on an old engine made with zero budget by someone who had no prior experience, and it probably shouldn't have reached a broader audience. So again, there will be updates post 1.0 release catered towards its target niche like it has been since launch.

Early Access 0.9.8

(The content kinks on this update may not be for everyone, and the game will always have choices to not do them)

Major Content additions:

- Added the Submission ending.

- Added an aphrodisiac scene for Siri.

- Changed both of Siri's events at night (puppy game and camera chase).

- Added few crossdressing and feminization events (that were missing when you knocked Zerin's door).

- Added and polished a ton of assets throughout the game.

- Balance changes (Dildo scenes now gives an image instead of random lewd pics, balanced urge, obedience, memory gallery, etc)

- Bug fixes: overlapping events, refusing pie event, etc

On a side note, I have started making a full guide for the game:

Early Access 0.9.4

- Implemented Yaoi Manga item.

Spoiler: Primarily used to trap Yuzuriha and Anri to not chase you at night. More usage to be added. The scenes increases low urge which can be easily recouped (plus money) with the pics.

- Implemented a new stat; Obedience.

Not only it balances various things but also contributes into building up the submission route.

Some balance changes include: Chastity Cage adds it to Obedience now instead of reverse increasing the Urge. Additionally, confronting Raehva, Drinking piss, collecting semen, wearing panties, etc require and Obedience threshold. Plus some events now increase Obedience instead of Urge.

- Added more new random events throughout the game.

Basement poster, getting caught with panties, etc.

- Fixed some bugs.

A fix attempt for FPS Sync for higher refresh rate monitors. Fixed putting back camera wasn't ending the day. And some other minor bugs.

Hey everyone,

The game is officially nearing the full release window. It’s been an incredible journey since the Early Access launch, and I’m excited to announce that I'm targeting mid-late June for full 1.0 release!

To celebrate the consistency, I’ve just pushed another big update 0.9 and here's the changelog:

• Justice ending extended with definitive contents.

  Spoiler: You get to meet (and fuck if you can get all 5 hunches) the lady from TV.

• Added more dildo trap scenes.

  Spoiler: Includes Anri, Zerin, Kate. This now completes wall/chair traps for all the girls.

• Added more Spicy Lewd pictures.

• A few changes with new contents in the basement.

• Added varieties of other new events throughout the game.

• Implemented some balance changes.

  Spoiler: Kate can catch you with semen jar to prevent you from infinitely farming. The dildo on the couch only spawns if all rooms are rented out. Random calls for handiwork during cleaning that lets you decrease Sus. Additionally, a few minor auto events based on stats.

• Huge Performance Improvements.

  Properly processes hundreds of parallel events that caused lags overtime. Added audio clearing with the manual Cache Reset as well.

• Other minor tweaks and Bug fixes.

  Total resident count wasn't increasing when Elize/Siera left in certain cases. And other smaller fixes.

Quick Update Recap

Additionally, here's a short recap of what I've done since the launch based on your feedback:

- Added Autosaves

- Added Memory Galleries

- Added more perks for side characters

- Added Puppy-game, Dildo traps, Aphrodisiac scenes, etc

- Added Echo Cypher, Chastity Cage, Photocopier, etc

- Overall ~30 more new events and interactions added

- Added Steam Achievements and Cloud Saves

- Significant amount of minor overhauls

- Many balance changes

- Fixed ~42 bugs

Unfortunately, localization probably won't make it because using AI translators makes it hard to convey what it is meant to (specially in a hint based puzzle game with lots of wordplay), and I don't have the budget for pro translators. But if I ever do, I will make sure to try in the future.

Thank you for sticking with me and helping turn this game into what it is today. The community has been very invested and helpful. Making this game has been a real blast. There's a lot more to come at full release.

Early Access 0.7.8

- Added Steam achievements.

Added ~25 achievements for now. For some like the endings, will be unlocked automatically by viewing the memory gallery if you have got them before.

A lot of players have asked about achievements since the launch and the reason why it was difficult was because I am using older engine stack. I haven't tested all of them on every platform, so please report if you have issues.

- Added Steam cloud saves.

- Other minor changes and fixes.

Early Access 0.7.7

- Fully finished Echo Cypher.

- Minor changes.

Early Access 0.7.5

Major additions:

- Implemented Chastity Cage. Siri will initiate it at the start of her arrival. It's a technical debuff for the most part.

- Implemented Photocopier machine. You can essentially copy any Pics you unlock it with the right code.

- Implemented parts of Gallery mechanics. You can access it in the menu as Memories. But it only contains the main lewd artworks.

- Implemented parts of Echo-Cypher. You can check reputation points and get hints on the unlock thresholds and some other stats.

- Added a perk for Eric. It has a purpose but not yet fully implemented.

- Kate and Siri's interactions during curfew hours are different. Unlike other generic ones, these serve some purpose.

- Added a few more assets for late game. Nothing huge but they are there.

Balance changes:

- Extra 4x Dreamy Beers for Wussy difficulty.

- Yuzuriha will order Breasts Enhancers instead of Aphrodisiac after 77 days.

- The dildo on the living room sofa will only appear during the curfew. But a few like in Elize's bathroom can be stolen now.

Bug fixes:

- Added ability to bulk sell pics Both Random Lewd Pics and Spicy Lewd Pics will now have options to sell in bulk if you have more than one.

- Kiwoda's perks swapped (Double/DonationBox) He will unlock the Donation Box first and later give you double images rather than the reverse.

- Spicy Images urge nerf (10>6) It was a bit imbalanced since people reported of having too many of these.

- Lewd Images price nerf ($40>$30) It was almost broken in certain scenarios. So had to nerf it.

- Other minor changes Several other small fixes, visual, QoL, and writing changes.

Please check the older patch notes to see if your issue was already fixed or check the current Bugs and Issues thread on Steam community forum for known ones.

- Double NPCs after loading fix

The girls used to show at both places at the same time after changing map or loading saves.

After \Elize leaves or gets captured\, the event was freezing the game essentially. Plus had a bit of another balancing issue.

\Aphrodisiac events were colliding with Friday night game.\

- Kitchen table interaction fix

Foods were able to be interacted from the other side.

- Siera stuck again (potential) fix

Now when the cleaning starts, it automatically moves Siera to the corner. You may have to load a save where she isn't stuck on the trash.

- Minor changes with Masayu and the Night game

- Several other minor changes (Late game)

Please check the older updates to see if your issue was already fixed or check the current Bugs and Issue thread of Steam community forum for known ones.

Added a potential fix for the common issue with screen freezing randomly for higher refresh rate monitors.

Reason for delays:

I had this build ready the day after release but had a security lockout from Steam so had to wait for support response to make this live. Thanks for you patience!

Early Access 0.7.1

- Autosave

Game now Autosaves after every two weeks. Be aware that it will always automatically save in the last slot (12). If you have manual save there, it will be overwritten.

- Reduced Price

Dreamy Beer costs 312 232.

- Bug fix

Siera was colliding with the splat and getting stuck after Friday. It was mainly due to FPS Sync in different machines. RPGMV has this engine bug. It should be fixed now. But if didn't, try toggling fps sync.

Also, fixed the booting issue for specific Mac users that needed a name value in the package.json

- Minor other changes

Hey guys, it's finally out!

It took a long time to make it this far, but I finally got something to put out there. DJR is not perfect, but it's something. I'm proud of the mechanics and how the gameplay loop turned out, and I'm excited for you all to explore it.

Please report any issues either directly in the Steam community or through the in-game option and feel free to post about your experience! I’m sure some parts might be difficult or confusing at first, so I'd love to hear your thoughts.

The roadmap is packed and you can expect constant updates till full release. If you've any ideas, now is the time.

Thanks for checking out the game!

Rated Sim :)

Hey everyone! Thanks for the wait.

DJR hits Early Access on January 7 at 10am PDT. About 2 Days from now.

Also, old Demo players, if you were discouraged by the low-quality assets and placeholders: expect new content, changes, fixes, and overhauled placeholders for better quality during and after the demo period in Early Access.

Here are some examples:

An updated demo with those improvements will drop before the EA as well!
