Happy 2nd Anniversary✌️

It's been two years since the release of the Early Access version of 『Romp of Dump』!

The main scenario is still in progress, and I must admit it's a bit heart-wrenching, but that means the main course of this story is still to come! Once my new work, “Severed Love,” is complete, I'll resume production on “Romp of Dump.” I plan to develop them as a series so you can enjoy them together, so I hope you'll continue to support me for a long time to come!🃏 https://store.steampowered.com/app/1951520/Romp_of_Dump/

𝕏 New Account Launched!

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45515129/17c2acb000ebcc889d2a378db460664e4422d0b6.jpg

Starting January 1st, I have launched official 𝕏(Twitter) accounts for ‘Severed Love’ and ‘Romp of Dump’.

My personal Twitter account's shadowban has finally reached the six-month mark, so honestly, it seems unlikely things will return to how they were before... But I'm trying to stay positive about being able to resume posting progress updates and finally share the results I've been holding back. Your support through follows and shares would be a huge help as it directly impacts my future motivation! I'm really counting on it...!

📢Follow New 𝕏: https://x.com/KessonShitsuai

Thank you to all Observers enjoying the Early Access version! I have released an update to fix bugs.

• I have fixed an issue where the promotional video would not play on the Mac version only.
• Fixed an issue where clicking during option fade-in would only play the click sound.
• Fixed other minor bugs and typos.

The scumbags' Christmas is coming around again this year🎄

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42281147/4a43e4c259067f70df2ea4fc9b2e219b9df4f686.png

Merry Christmas to all observers!

All scum prisoners will be subjected to the limited-time penalty game “Merry Christmas!” {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42281147/ba9b28f055dda6aa8ad7dba3f0210a3217686f4d.png The Christmas plans of the scum prisoners are prison work and betting cards, but they might at least tell us their memories. This penalty game can be viewed from 12/23 0:00 to 12/28 23:59. Your and the prisoner's birthdays are determined by the time set on your device, not by the local time in Japan.

【A limited-time Halloween event has been added!】

Observers, Happy Halloween! I've added a new penalty game called “Trick or Treat!” for all scum prisoners. Is it true that there's one prisoner in here who's scum but still gives out candy(item)...?🍬

I have implemented fixes for bugs, including security vulnerability countermeasures for the game engine “Unity” used in this title. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42281147/24117e29f2c76a1f23848df3ff0152e204edd19e.png

This penalty game will be available for a limited time from October 25 at 0:00 to October 31 at 23:59.

It's been a while since my last update, but I was finally able to complete the Halloween scenario I couldn't finish in time last year! In As's Penalty Game, you can enjoy different scenarios based on which prisoner participates in the mini-game. Enjoy what amounts to ten worthless episodes! Observer, who's been taking a break from prison life for a while, might be able to see limited conversations through the login bonus...? Your and the prisoner's birthdays are determined by the time set on your device, not by the local time in Japan. If you miss an event this year, you will be able to see the same event again next year on the same date with the same content.

【Update Details】

• A new limited-time penalty game, Trick or Treat! has been added for all characters.
• I rebuilt using a version of Unity where the vulnerability has been fixed.
• Fixed a bug in the Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese versions where progress became impossible in certain penalty games.
• Other minor bugs and typos have been fixed.

On June 16, I surpassed 3,0000 downloads and reached 65 reviews!

I am very late to report this, but I would like to thank all the observers who played the game and all those who pressed the add library button. I am very pleased to hear from observers who enjoy the Simplified and Traditional Chinese versions! For that, I apologize for not being able to meet the expectations of those who have been waiting for the update. Since around June, there have been events that have interfered with our game publicity activities, and I have been very sick, both physically and mentally. (The detailed circumstances are described in the “Severed Love” announcement.) https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/3412110/view/512965256196128854 The situation is unstable, not knowing when it might improve, but thanks to your support, I are barely holding our ground. In order to regain our motivation and confidence, I am now focusing on the development of a new spin-off work, “Severed Love”. I would like to do our best in development so that both works, which share a common worldview, can attract players to each other and both can be enjoyed. The new “Severed Love” is also available for a limited time through August 31 in an updated, full-voiced demo version. And “Romp of Dump” is also free to play without mentioning it. Let's get through this shitty summer by punishing the scumbags! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1951520/Romp_of_Dump/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/3412110/_/

In order to publicly execute scum prisoners on a more global scale, I have also opened a new account, the “小紅書 (RED)” account! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42281147/683c3457f7b7b6800bf11154ca1ba5872348fc69.jpg

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42281147/934e1b9e5fd25b2599299227fbc31d27eb82c11a.png I have also made system modifications to give priority to unread episodes in the penalty game selection. Even those who have played through the game can now play more comfortably! Thanks to the cooperation of Pujia8 Studio, a Chinese publisher, we were able to implement simplified & traditional Chinese characters. I would like to thank them again.

【Please note】

Some scenarios are in preparation for translation. To prevent the display of untranslated text, some episodes will be unlocked only in English and Japanese. In future small updates (by individual developers), the Japanese and English scenarios will be released in advance. For the Simplified and Traditional Chinese versions, we plan to add the translations together in a future major update. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. If you normally play in Chinese, you can still play and unlock untranslated episodes by selecting “Japanese” or “English” from the language settings. If you change the language setting back to “Simplified” or “Traditional,” the untranslated episodes will be hidden again, but the saved data such as unlocked episodes and read information will be inherited. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1951520/Romp_of_Dump/

Simplified & Traditional Chinese versions of the Early Access version will also be available on May 1!

And it looks like we'll soon be able to announce the next happy news, such as 27,000 downloads... (And if you look closely, the number of reviews on Steam...!)

【Chinese was added to the screenshots and renewed!】

The process of incorporating the simplified and traditional Chinese translations into the Early Access version of the game finally came to an end today. The integration into the game was almost finished in January, but it was also very difficult to reflect the translations on the Steam store page, so much so that we had to stay up all night for three days to finish... Simplified and traditional Chinese versions of the following media have been added!

The old promotional vdeo in Japanese and English are no longer available. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42281147/17aefd8215d7be0deb8cc57625d0275b59293866.png Not only the Chinese translation, but all the screenshots and videos of the Japanese & English versions have been updated to the latest version with visual effects! In the Early Access PV, which is all about tempo, it looks the same except for the visual effects due to the fact that they were particular about not shifting a single frame, but there are some small changes in the mini-game scenes... Other than that, the characters in the video seem to be different for each language!

【Notice Regarding Translation of Character Names】

As a result of the completion of the translation of the Early Access version, we have decided to change the translation of character names, except for As, in simplified and traditional Chinese characters only. I apologize to any inspectors who have been calling the characters by their original names, and I would appreciate your understanding. Simplified & Traditional Chinese versions are being prepared for release with the cooperation of the publisher Pujia8 Studio. I will inform you of the release date as soon as it is decided! ■Pujia8 Studio Official Site https://m.pujia8.com/ ■Pujia8 Studio Official X https://twitter.com/Pujia8Studio

【Translations of new games are also updated on the same day!】

The new spin-off “Severed Love” also added screenshots and PV video in Simplified and Traditional Chinese today! Please check out the new game together and add it to your wish list! (The number of wishlist registrations for new game is also on the verge of 2,000!) https://store.steampowered.com/app/3412110/_/

You have lost both your legs and arms and you can’t remember anything... The Limb-Stripping Machine's Confinement and Devotion. Your only way to survive... Pretend to be his lover,

Another “Limb-Stripping Machine Case” victim is you. The new “Severed Love”, a dangerous confinement and caregiving life with the Limb-Stripping Machine.

I have released the teaser movie and character voices along with the Steam store page! https://store.steampowered.com/app/3412110/_/

Please be aware of this. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42281147/69b7537cfbc79d8af7535d6f0ab2c5adfc3fe6a8.gif The reason why I was able to do, rather than just use the theme of “missing limbs” in my new work was, again, the inspiration for this work, “Romp of Dump”. I wanted to have a character with missing limbs from the beginning, so I dared to sneak Durum, a character design without prosthetic limbs, into the scum prisoners... I was worried about the risk of the game being rejected in the review process or receiving complaints from users... but as a result, nothing happened and Dumpir Prison is now at peace. Perhaps it is the openness to diversity of the observers who have been watching over “Romp of Dump” that has given birth to the new game! I will continue to develop new products and continue to update “Romp of Dump” at a leisurely pace. To all observers, we look forward to your continued support of Zakurobento!
