Thank you for visiting us again!
Today we have 2 things to tell you!

First, we finally release Valley into the dungeon! We're feeling really happy and glad to have this moment.
Valley is an experienced soldier who lost his memory. He crawls into the dungeon to fulfill the promise he made one day…!
We made so many Overdungeon-esque cards for his card pack. Try them out!

Second, today is the day we achieve Consecutive 100 Days Daily Update! Thanks to all of your support, we finally did it! Thank you so much!
The reason we started updating Overdungeon on a daily basis is there were so many bugs to fix when we released Overdungeon. As we continued updating every day, we started thinking:

"Hmm, we planned to update every Friday at first, but we are updating every day…" (Thanks to all of the comments pointing out "Every day is Friday!", "NO UPDATE TODAY FRAUD")
↓
"What if we'd release it every day 'cuz we develop every single day…?"
↓
"Overdungeon is the game updated every day!!!"

Then we decided to update Overdungeon on a daily basis! (As a result, it's been way too tougher than we'd thought…)

Once we set a goal "Update every day", we, the developer team, became more united than ever we've done. The goal has been encouraging us to make the game fun and enjoyable. It's been really tough but very rewarding at the same time!

"What do we update today?"
↓
"It could be the bug fix of this thing…"
↓
"Will it really satisfy players? We need to keep working on this part to get it released in today's patch, don't we?"

We've kept those conversations going. That's why we could maintain our passions and motivations to update, and to evolve Overdungeon!

The daily update has been one of the features Overdungeon has, however, it's been 100 days and we think it could be a milestone for us. We discussed if we'd continue the daily update. And we're considering to stop this for these 3 reasons.

■ 1. The Daily Update Costs Us So Much
To achieve the daily update, we're required to do things below every day.
a. Discussion on update
b. Development of contents
c. Contents translation(Japanese => English, Japanese => Chinese)
d. Patch notes writing
e. Patch notes translation(Japanese => English, Japanese => Chinese)
f. Development testing
g. Release

C, d, e, and f has cost non-negligible amount of time for a while. Especially f, development testing should be automated to maintain the quality of Overdungeon right now. (Now we have 3 characters, Lilith, Sugar, and Valley. We need to test the triple amount of contents!!)
We actually are working on test automation, yet we are a small developer team. We want to prioritize improving and developing new contents over the daily update. The more contents we have in the game, the harder it gets to achieve the daily update.

■ 2. Duration of the Daily Update Is Enough to Apply for Guinness World Records
We are going to apply for Guinness World Records to certify Overdungeon as "The game with the longest duration of daily update". We believe that Consecutive 100 days are sufficient to apply for the record.
There are other "Daily ~~~ records" except daily gaming stuff, however, it's all depending on Guinness World Records whether Overdungeon would be listed is the Guinness Book of World Records.
If we fail, we continue updating Overdungeon to apply for "The most updated game of the world"!

■ 3. Not All Players Want the Daily Update
We've noticed not all the players want the daily update. Some want to have sophisticated updates instead of daily updates. As a matter of fact, we've been faced with these difficulties.

a. Daily update costs so much! (If we stop daily updates, we could develop more contents)
b. The number of tests is decreased and the number of releases is increased. This causes the unnoticeable bugs. (If we stop daily updates, we could prevent the bugs from appearing in a production environment!)
c. Daily update exhausts us! (Harder than we thought at first!)
d. Players should download hundreds of MB data every day.
e. It's not easy to read Release notes every day.

It's obvious that the daily update is a thing for the players who play Overdungeon every day. Overdungeon is in Early Access right now, so everything in the game is subject to change, and we seriously want to update to make it better. We've kept updating daily but it should be reconsidered and changed if it's not the best way to do. We find it difficult to make it the best for every single player. We sought the way to maximize the goodness, the duration between releases is optimally once a week or a few times a month like other game studios do!

Anyway, we decided to stop the daily update. However, we might start it again as if we're back to "Every day is Friday" days, or we might release as soon as we come up with the new contents! We, the developer team, love Overdungeon so much! We strongly believe that Overdungeon becomes one of the greatest game! Hope you'll have fun and stay tuned with us!
