Game files have been updated due to a reported bug. Some players have experienced missing promotion panel and chess clock not stopping during promotion moves. We haven’t been able to reproduce this issue in testing, so it’s likely caused by outdated files. This update doesn’t add new features — it simply ensures the latest file versions are in use.

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!

• Be the first to receive game updates and other information
  
• Development progress not yet posted on SNS
  
• Live streaming to see developing scenes in real time
  
• Daily reports on Steam wishlist (!?)
  
• Communicate with developers by asking questions
  
• Post feedback and fan art and interact with other fans

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!

Hello everyone,

The improvement update we've been developing for Endless Mode is now live! Additionally, you can purchase Toy Shire with a 30% discount between August 10–17.

-Attic units and enemies have been added to Endless Mode.

The new soldiers, towers, and enemies introduced in the Attic chapter of the Story Mode (Summer Update) are now available in Endless Mode as well.

-Enemies now have increasing levels.

Since enemies could appear in large numbers in later waves and extend the wave duration significantly, we've added a leveling system for them. As you progress through waves, you'll now face stronger enemies.

-A level system has been added for soldiers.

Just like the enemies, soldiers now have a level system too. You can upgrade your soldiers’ levels in exchange for diamonds via the deck editor in the Endless Mode menu.

-Balancing changes have been made.

We've made significant balance adjustments in the current version of Endless Mode compared to the previous one. Therefore, for a better experience, we recommend resetting your previous Endless Mode save. You can do this by using the new "Reset" button we’ve added to the Endless Mode menu.

Important Note: We’re aware that the leaderboard scores may seem a bit unbalanced since they were recorded in the previous version. However, we want to avoid wiping players’ progress with every improvement update. That’s why we plan to reset the leaderboard once Endless Mode reaches its most stable state with the Toy Shire 1.0 release.

-Several important bugs have been fixed.

We’ve fixed major bugs from the previous version, such as the fog not advancing in saved games and enemies getting stuck on the path. If you encounter any issues, don’t hesitate to report them to us!

Enjoy the update! 🎮

• Fixed a bug where the Cool King was not appearing at the bridge.

Hola, so after a bit of thinking, I think it's about time we say goodbye to Pandev for something new here! 😄

Pandev Studios was founded by a team of three people who worked on The Dark Fever. Since then, I am now the only one left working on new projects from the original group. In new projects the people who helped me were not related to Pandev. So it wasn't absolutely right to use 'Made by Pandev Studios' even if everyone has always been comfortable about it. 😄

I thought it was finally time to do something about this. From now on, the projects I work on will be credited under the name: Babeko. I think it is more right to see me as a solo developer then a studio! 🔥
A huge huge thanks to the original team of Pandev Studios, it was amazing to build something together and it will be part of me forever for sure ❤️

Just a quick note before I continue: the Discord server will be renamed "Babeko - Community". That doesn't mean I'm the only one working on my projects, though! I've made one tiny project alone, but all the rest have been made in teams who have done a huge amount of work to help me (Arts, Musics and more) ! So, think of this as a place/name to gather all my projects rather than the releases of a studio!

All of the previous games I made as Pandev Studios can still be credited as Pandev Studios or Babeko, you choose, Clean Stack will be the first game I will publish as Babeko fully! 🎉

I took this opportunity to polish the Discord server a bit and to make all the changes on social medias (X and Bluesky) as well as Steam !
Here is the new Babeko Steam group: https://steamcommunity.com/groups/Babeko

This is a big change and I feel like the spotlight is now more on me since I'm no longer "hiding" behind the name Pandev Studios. But it also feels refreshing, I feel far more represented! Please share any of your thoughts about this change in comments, I will gladly listen to all of them carefully

See you all next time for some Clean Stack news!

Optimization of game start interface presentation

I had the upload folder set as RGSS_Playtest but point to a different location in the Steam portal.

Bug Fixes
• Fixed exception caused by resource deposit scanner when turned off at game start.
• Fixed player ship ground losing its collider, preventing launch.
• Fixed issue where riding rovers could lose ground collider, causing exceptions and unresponsive controls.
• Fixed excessive snow accumulation on base grounds and decorative rocks during world icing, which caused overly bright lighting.
• Fixed medium storage module printing animation not playing.
• Fixed issue where Temperature Station could not be printed on certain seeds.

These major changes will take a while but it’s a guaranteed new experience. A new flesh out take on grim diary.

With the new changes in level design the current story is not perfectly fit anymore. Some changes need to be made. But the whole premise is still untouched.

Grim Diary is heading in a new direction. And more open world oriented features. Bit by bit will make it come true.
