Romp of Dump News

Dear observers in Greater China, thank you very much for your patience!
[h3]The demo version with simplified & traditional Chinese localization is available from today![/h3]

In the demo version, you can play two mini-games, “Blackjack” and “High and Low”, and 10 different penalty game episodes.

New players can carry over saved data from the demo version to the Early Access version.

[h3]If you have already played the game, please do not activate the demo version and wait for the official release of the Early Access version.[/h3]
This is because you may not be able to view existing episodes or unexpected glitches may occur.


System modifications have also been made to give priority to unread episodes in the selection of penalty games.
This will make the game more comfortable to play for those who have played the game for a long time.

This system modification will be reflected in the Japanese and English versions of the game, so please wait for the Early Access update!

[h3]Simplified & Traditional Chinese versions of the Early Access version will also be available on May 1![/h3]

Almost all episodes, including all types of mini-games such as “Poker” and two main scenarios, will have Simplified & Traditional Chinese text.
Some scenarios are still under preparation for translation. I am planning to add them in updates, so please be patient.

Thanks to our publisher Pujia8 Studio, I have been able to implement Simplified & Traditional Chinese characters.
I will do my best to successfully deliver the Early Access version as well!

[h3]The number of downloads exceeded 27,000 on 3/29/2025![/h3]
(Actually, it looks like I had reached it at the time of the recent announcement, but sorry for not keeping up with the announcements.)


[h3]In addition, the Steam review reached 50 and was “Very Positive”!![/h3]

I feel like it's been a very long road for an unknown indie game...
I am very grateful for all the warm comments even though they are such jerks!

[h3]Observers, it's time for the Scum Prisoner's Birthday event![/h3]
Louq's birthday event is happening on Thursday, 4/4 from 0:00 to 23:59!
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 "Kids Camera" in the "SHOP" will unlock Louq's photo mode.
Purchasing the "Photogenic Frame" item will also add a decorative frame for Louq'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 Louq 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 Louq?

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]I was able to surpass 26,000 downloads last month on 2025/2/18![/h3]
I have been very busy since February, and it has been more than a month since my last report, but I would like to express my thanks to all the observers!

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...!)


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!

• Early Access Promotional Video
  
• Screenshots
  
• Novel Part Play Video
  
• Mini-game flow play video
  
• Gif animation
  

The old promotional vdeo in Japanese and English are no longer available.


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!



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!

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!
