Romp of Dump News

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
[h2]On June 16, I surpassed 3,0000 downloads and reached 65 reviews![/h2]

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.)

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!

The main language of the server will be Japanese, but you can communicate with the developers via machine translation.
The rule descriptions and channel overviews have also been translated into English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Korean, although the translations are machine-translated.

I welcome people who are not chatty!
There is no voice chat on the server. I will not force you to greet or communicate with anyone.

This will be a community that is updated more frequently than a social networking site.
I hope you will watch over the scum prisoners and the developers for their survival.



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!

I will be posting in both Simplified and Traditional Chinese.
I would appreciate your cooperation in spreading the word to all Chinese speakers!

[h3]Observers, it's time for the Scum Prisoner's Birthday event![/h3]
Faye's birthday event is happening on Wednesday, 6/26 from 0:00 to 23:59!

Faye seems to have some bad birthday memories.
What is his pretty and scrappy birthday episode?

Try to beat him in a mini-game and choose "Happy Birthday!" in the penalty game!
The rules of the Dump are to celebrate with a penalty game!



This snapshot was taken in "Photo Mode", which animates in Live2D, implemented in the Early Access version.

Purchasing the collection item "Scary Rumors Camera" in the "SHOP" will unlock Faye's photo mode.
Purchasing the "Photogenic Frame" item will also add a decorative frame for Faye's birthday!

↓Please share your screenshots taken in photo mode or at birthday events with the community!
https://steamcommunity.com/app/1951520/screenshots/

Your posting will help motivate our developers!
(Please do not post anything that will spoil the story.)


Present the new item "Birthday Cupcake" to Faye and you will see a special conversation and his liking will be greatly increased.
If you raise the liking of the scum prisoner to 100, a friendship event will also occur where you can get a collection item as a proof of friendship. Why not take this opportunity to deepen your friendship with Faye?

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.

[h3]Simplified & Traditional Chinese localization has been implemented for the Early Access version as of today's update![/h3]

• Episode 2 of the main scenario
  
• Mini-games “Poker” and “Ask for Baccarat”
  
• Punishment episodes (except for some)
  
• As (Player) Birthday Event
  
• Library Event
  
• Login Bonus
  
• Photo mode etc...
  

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.

Chinese-speaking observers are also welcome to support us by writing a review if you like Punishment for Scum Prisoners!

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.
