One week to go until the Early Access release!


[h3]I am now only "1 week" away from the release of the Early Access version of "Romp of Dump"!
The game will be released free of charge at around midnight Japan time on Saturday, 2024/1/20![/h3]


【Wishlist registrations have surpassed 2121!】

Thanks to the support of our observers, the number of Steam Wish List registrations has exceeded 【2121】!
For an unknown indie game, this is a truly honorable number.
I will do our best to release the game safely, so we hope you will watch over us.



【New contents of the Early Access version of the game!】

(The screenshots are for the Japanese version, but the English version will be implemented at the same time.)

[h2]1. Main Scenario[/h2]

The main scenario exposes the bizarre crimes committed by the scum prisoners.
Of the three episodes, the core "Episode 2" can be played to the end for all characters!

[h2]2. Event illustrations animated in Live2D[/h2]

When you play the main scenario, you can see event illustrations animated in Live2D.
Depending on the stills, there are gimmicks for facial expression/motion differences and animations unique to Live2D!
*Some of the text is withheld because it is a spoiler, but the text will be disclosed in the main game!

[h2]3. Hidden Characters[/h2]

You can release all of the prisoners, Durum, Franbel, and Drake, whom you could only meet once in the demo version.
Hidden characters can be released in exchange for chips at the in-game "SHOP".

[h2]4. New mini-game[/h2]

Prisoner scum kick each other down without honor!
You can play a new mini-game "Poker"!



Another final mini-game is "Ask for Baccarat".
Based on Baccarat, the game asks the prisoner who plays the dealer "three questions" and guesses the correct answer.
Sometimes the dealer lies, and sometimes the questions are unimportant.

Both mini-games can be released in exchange for chips at the "SHOP".

[h2]5. Login Bonus[/h2]

I will officially implement a login bonus where you can receive a chip or other rewards once a day.
Rewards will increase with cumulative and consecutive logins, so the more you log in, the more you can enjoy additional content.
The prisoner who welcomes you can also be freely changed from "CONFIG"!

[h2]6.図書館イベント[/h2]

A new "Prison Library" has been added, where you can collect "case files" that will serve as hints for the mystery-solving part of the main scenario.
You can visit the library by winning the mini-game or playing the mini-game as many times as you like.

Durum, a model prisoner in charge of the library, and Franbel, a prisoner who somehow holds information related to the police.
Some of you may meet these two for the first time in the library.

[h2]7. New Penalty Game[/h2]

I have also created a new episode of the penalty game, a fun game for the losers of the mini-game!
I are adding 10 (11 for Louq only) punishments per character.

After the release, I will add more in the form of a series of episodes!

[h2]8. New Items[/h2]

The number of gift items ejected from the "Item Lottery" that can be exchanged in the "SHOP" has been doubled from 8 to 18 types!
The item raffle will also have 10 raffle items in a row without any cover, so please try to collect them!

[h2]9.Photo Mode[/h2]

Live2D "Photo Mode" has been officially implemented! You can take two shots with all the scum prisoners.
You can play it as a kind of punishment game by releasing it in exchange for a chip at the "SHOP".

Snapshots taken in Photo Mode are welcome to be posted on SNS!
Please read the guidelines on the official website, and by all means, please share them to make the game more exciting!
Guidelines: http://zakurobento.starfree.jp/RompOfDump/#Guideline


[h2]9. Steam Achievements[/h2]

As of Early Access, 97 Steam Achievements have been implemented!
The number of mini-games played, wins and losses, and some of them can be unlocked by slightly surprising conditions.



All of these contents can be played entirely for free.
I am in the last spurt of development so that all observers can enjoy the game.
Please download and review when I release it!

Simplified and Traditional Chinese localization decision!



Merry Christmas to all the observers!
The publisher, Pujia8 Studio, is in charge of localization and has decided to support both Simplified and Traditional Chinese characters!

The Early Access version will be released free of charge in late January 2024, followed by an update to add supported languages.
Simplified and Traditional Chinese characters will be supported on both Windows and Mac, and the ending will be available for free.

In addition, we are preparing to make paid exclusive content available for purchase as Steam downloads.
Please subscribe to our wish list and stay tuned for more news!
