Endless Monday: Dreams and Deadlines news & patch notes

Happy New 2026! After the release of the free OVERTIME chapter, I've been working hard on the next thing. By the way, you did play the OVERTIME chapter, right? It's free. I'll wait for you if you haven't.

That's right, I'm announcing the next game!! Endless Monday: IN PROGRESS, coming to you in late 2026, hopefully! You can wishlist it here!

Here's the official description:

Penny and her friends are back, and they've achieved their dream! Now working at a small studio making video games for a living, they're flying high and enjoying life. But as the team struggles to complete their next game, they are faced with impending deadlines, creative differences, and Penny's own bad habits, which threaten to destroy what they worked so hard to build. Now Penny must pull herself together long enough to keep the dream alive, or risk losing it all (and disappointing her mentor). And maybe she'll learn something about herself in the process.

Anyway, I'm very excited to be able to continue the story of the Endless Monday crew! It's all thanks to your love and support, and I hope to bring you something you can love just as much as Dreams and Deadlines. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

Okay, time to get back to work!

Back in the olden days of May 2023, a week after Endless Monday: Dreams and Deadlines was released to the world, I promised everyone a free content update, thinking it would be a quick and easy short epilogue or something.

A little less than two years later, in 2025, the OVERTIME chapter was added to the game, basically a sequel that doubled the game's story, along with a bunch of other stuff. For free!

It was a lot of hard work! You could even call it... a Labor of Love!

But I think it was totally worth it! I think it rounds out the story in a satisfying way, and I'm honestly very proud of the final product.

Anyway, if you've also enjoyed the OVERTIME chapter, why not nominate us for the Labor of Love award? I'm not expecting to win or anything, but it's a fun little community thing and in my experience it does help with making the game a little bit more visible to people browsing Steam who might not have seen it yet.

And if you haven't played the OVERTIME chapter, this is my excuse to tell you to play the OVERTIME chapter!

And of course, thank you to everyone who has supported the game by playing it, telling your friends about it, and buying merch, and everything else. Your love and support means I can continue to make game(s) for a living for just a little longer. Yes, that's right! I'm busy working on the sequel. But it's gonna be a new game this time around.

Thank you, thank you! And see you next time!

Hello, again!! Thank you all so much for enjoying the new Overtime chapter. Your love and support keeps me going.

I've been busy working on the next thing, but I also just wanted to announce that Penny plushies are available now! But only for a limited time!

That's right, the Endless Monday Corporate R&D Department has done it again! Penny, the mild-mannered Creative Team grunt and serial procrastinator you know and love, is here in plushie merch form! Don't miss this chance to bring a Penny doll to your desk so she can sit there and remind you to finish your work on time. Or maybe you could just take her on a late night adventure through the office, to get inspired, of course.

This is my fifth(!) plushie with Makeship, and as always, they're a pleasure to work with. And worldwide shipping is available! You get get your Penny plush doll here! -> https://www.makeship.com/products/penny-plushie (Limited time!!)

Orders will close forever in a few weeks! As long as we hit 200 orders, she'll be shipping out in late September to early October.

As always, I'm super grateful for your support, and I know I am very lucky to be able to keep making the next game. Okay, see you next time!! <3 <3 <3 <3
