First, thank you to everyone who has already bought and loved Endless Monday: Dreams and Deadlines. This new update is for you. Really, I can't thank you enough. It took a while, but it's done! A whole new extra bonus chapter!
And it's available now, for everyone who already owns Dreams and Deadlines! For free! Update the game, and you should see the new "Overtime" chapter on the title screen. The story takes place a year after the "True Ending" of Dreams and Deadlines, and if the game can't detect whether you've already seen it (achievement: "A Bright Future?"), it'll warn you that you should probably do that first, but it also won't stop you if you want to play the new chapter anyway.

New Stuff in the Overtime Update!

An entirely new full-length chapter, continuing Penny's story after the events of Dreams and Deadlines! It's like, longer than the original game! It basically doubles the total game size! A real bonus, as they say.

More CG artworks than the original game. I drew a lot of new pictures! Ow, my hand hurts!

26 new achievements! Behold the consequences of your actions!

A new achievement gallery! Keep track of all the achievements you've unlocked, each with a cool piece of artwork.

And of course, more music from the amazing and illustrious Chance Thrash. And so on. Anyway, I really hope you enjoy the new chapter as much as I enjoyed making it. If you find any weird bugs or issues, please feel free to post in the bug report forum or email me at my support address. And if you enjoy the new chapter and want more, please follow my dev page on Steam or my social medias so you can stay tuned for whatever's next in the Endless Monday Video Game Universe. Thank you again!!

That's right! The Spring Sale is on and the game is cheaper than usual! And as announced in my last post, the new Overtime chapter is releasing later this month! First, thank you to everyone who has already bought and loved Endless Monday: Dreams and Deadlines. This new update is for you. Really, I can't thank you enough.
But, okay, this news post is also intended to entice people visiting from the Steam Spring Sale to buy the game while it's discounted. I was hoping to release the new chapter earlier in March, but we're needing just a bit more time for it to be ready for all players, probably to shortly after the Spring Sale is over. Due to that timing, there won't be a discount when the update is released, because we won't be able to discount again until late April. Oh no! So my point is you should buy this game now, maybe get to the ending, and play the new chapter when it's out :) Anyway, I'm going to try to get you excited for the new update! It'll be free(!) for everyone who already owns Dreams and Deadlines.

Well, another year has passed, and it's 2025 now. Hope you had a good year. I've been busy! We released Endless Monday: Dreams and Deadlines in three more languages. I'm happy the game has been so loved around the world. You might remember that I said I was hoping to release a free content update in 2024, but after working hard on it for most of the year (with lots of other responsibilities throughout), it turns out it would take just a little longer...

Endless Monday: Dreams and Deadlines and Overtime

Other stuff

Hello again! I'm here to announce that Skye Plushies are available for a limited time!! Unfortunately Skye's been teleported back in time, back to her job at the office for this event, but her pain is your gain. I think a lot of the people who got to know Skye from Endless Monday: Dreams and Deadlines probably missed the Skye Plushie from three years ago, so here's another (and possibly last) chance! Available only for a limited time... Orders will close forever in a few weeks! As long as we hit 200 orders, she'll be shipping out in October. This is my fourth plushie with Makeship, and they've always been a pleasure to work with. Order with confidence! You can get your Skye plush doll here!! -> https://www.makeship.com/products/skye-2-0-plushie (LIMITED TIME!!) On the game front, work on the Bonus Chapter for Endless Monday: Dreams and Deadlines is making good progress. It's almost done! It'll definitely be out sometime in the next few months, so please stay tuned. Thanks, as always, for your support! <3 <3 <3 <3 https://store.steampowered.com/app/2262610/Endless_Monday_Dreams_and_Deadlines/

The Steam Spring Sale is under way, and Endless Monday: Dreams and Deadlines is on sale, as usual! But this time we also have two more languages available! and Portugus-Brasil, in addition to the previously released and localizations!
Steam Spring Sale is the best time to play games in a new language and buy Endless Monday: Dreams and Deadlines, after all. As they say. As for what's next, now that these are finally done after months of hard work, I'll be going back to work on the next story update for the game. I still don't have a good time for when it'll be out - localizing it will also add some time, and I'll be juggling a few other responsibilities too. But stay tuned. I do care, after all. Anyway, thank you for all your love and support. Stay tuned for more updates later! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2262610/Endless_Monday_Dreams_and_Deadlines/

Update 1.0.11: More Localizations:

• New! You can now play the game in and Portugus-Brasil! You can select the desired language from the language selection menu on the title screen.
• Not new, but and localizations are available too!
• Fixed! Linux build achievements should work again.

Update 1.0.10:

• New! You can now play the game in ! You can select the language from the language selection menu on the title screen.
• We're finishing up and Portugus-Brasil localizations, and they should be ready to play very soon. Please stay tuned for more updates in the next few weeks!
• Right-click no longer brings up settings menu. You can still use the displayed hotkeys to access.
• Lots of small fixes and behind-the-scenes updates/improvements in preparation for future update.

• Fixed a text display issue in save slots

What a year. Thank you, thank you! Well, 2023 is over, and it's the first Monday of 2024. Maybe you made some meaningful New Year's resolutions? I hope you can achieve all of your goals this year!
I've been hard at work on what's next for Endless Monday. A bonus story update for Endless Monday: Dreams and Deadlines! I'm not quite ready to promise anything because I'm juggling a few other responsibilities, but I'm trying to get it released by summer this year. It'll be a free update! Tell your friends. And buy the sequel.
I'm also hoping to make the game available to more players around the world! Currently there are translations in progress for a few new languages. I'll have more to share once the work is closer to being finished. After the bonus story chapter is done, I'm going to work full time on the next game in the Endless Monday Video Game Universe. I've been prototyping a few ideas, and maybe I'll have something to announce in the second half of 2024. Here's hoping. I'll be broadcasting it out on all my socials when that happens, so you can follow me at any of the links at endlessmonday.com if you want to stay tuned. Anyway, it's been awesome being able to just make a game I wanted to make, and having so many people like it and resonate with it. I just wanted to thank you all for the love and support throughout 2023. I hope you all have a Happy New Year!

Click the checkbox to nominate! It's that time of the year, when we can nominate games to be voted on in a variety of categories for extra prestige and fame. And buy lots of discounted games. Of course, I know actually winning a Steam Award is mostly reserved for the biggest releases of the year, but hey, maybe something cool might happen, and it's fun to participate in stuff in any case. So, if you enjoyed Endless Monday: Dreams and Deadlines, why not nominate it for something? I'm suggesting "Outstanding Visual Style" above, but feel free to choose whatever you want or have room for. It's free, takes one click of the mouse, and it helps out a lot! Either way, thanks for your love and support.
I'm also going to use this opportunity to thank you again for everything! And let you know that I'm still busy working on the next thing for the Endless Monday Video Game Universe. Stay tuned! I'll be sure to update you when I have something to share. In the meantime, your support means I can continue to make game(s) for a living for just a little bit longer. Thank you thank you thank you! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2262610/Endless_Monday_Dreams_and_Deadlines/

Hello again! Thank you for playing ENDLESS MONDAY: DREAMS AND DEADLINES! Can you believe it's already been a month since the game launched? I've really been so happy with how many of you have played and enjoyed the game. Thank you thank you!!
If you've been waiting for the Mac release to play ENDLESS MONDAY: DREAMS AND DEADLINES, well I have good news for you! It's now available! On Mac! Why not install it on your work laptop and go on an adventure on the company dime? (Hint: Press the T key while in-game if your boss is nearby). This release also comes with a bunch of other smaller changes and features, so check out the patch notes for 1.0.7 if you're interested in that. This update involved some under the hood changes for future updates, so please let me know if you run into any weird issues you weren't seeing before.

Hotfix 1.0.6a

• Just a bunch of typo fixes. Gotta look presentable, after all.

It's been roughly four days since ENDLESS MONDAY: DREAMS AND DEADLINES release! Whoa, has it really been four days already? I'm pretty sure the launch and response from players has wildly exceeded all my expectations in every way possible, but I'm too tired right now to fully grasp the situation or properly appreciate the magnitude of what's happened. Thank you so much for loving the game! Really! Thank you!! Before we get started: The OST is out!! You can check it out here, on Chance Thrash's bandcamp page. Please support the amazing composer of the game's OST. I'll wait! I (still) haven't been able to get much sleep because I've been busy with the post-launch bug fixes and support and social media posts and stuff. But with today's hotfix out (which I'm hoping should be the last one as far as high priority fixes go), I'm going to try to get some rest for once. Okay, so, I'm sure you want to know what's next. No? Well I'm telling you anyway. 1. Community Items: Steam graciously enabled Profile Features for the game, meaning you can now add the game to your profile's various showcases, like for showing off cool achievement icons or your favorite games. This also enabled the Steam "Community Items" (Trading cards and point shop items, etc). So I'm going to work on that and hopefully have them submitted by this week! Please wait warmly! 2. Mac support: This was planned for release but I didn't have time to finish this before the deadline, so I focused on Windows and SteamDeck instead. But I'll try to get this out as soon as I can, so that Mac gamers and people who want to game on their work laptops can play. Coming soon, hopefully! 3. Localization tooling: I didn't build in good support for localization because I was too focused on just getting the game out. I figured I'd worry about it when the time came. Well, the time has come... Unsure when this will be done, but after that I can start thinking about non-English translations for the game. 4. Content Updates: I've been kicking around a lot of ideas in my head for free content updates in the form of short side-stories that take place apart from the game's storyline and other vignettes or minigames. You might see these every once in a while in the coming months. I'm not expecting them to go on forever though, because at some point I'll have to look to the future... 5. Future: I really want to make more games. I would love the opportunity to make another game, and make this a series and explore more stories in the Endless Monday Video Game Universe. Or just do something completely different. Well it's a little early to be dreaming about this right now, but... anyway... Also! If you want to support me beyond buying my game (which honestly is already support enough), and you want to put stickers of Tiger-chan or Penny or any of the others on your stuff, I have a merch shop on my website at endlessmonday.com. You can also sign up for a newsletter there too. Or visit my other social media pages. Or whatever. That's all I have for now. Thanks again, for all your love and support. I'm hoping this is just the beginning! Okay, see you in the next update!

Yeah, it's the big day. After weeks of little sleep and lots of coffee on my part, ENDLESS MONDAY: DREAMS AND DEADLINES is finally done and released! Thank you all for your encouragement and kind words and everything while I was working on this. I'm really hoping that this will be the first of many stories to come in the Endless Monday video game universe. The soundtrack for this game was made by the amazing Chance Thrash!! Please go check out his bandcamp here. Go now. I'll wait. I was not able to get a Mac build out in time for this launch, but I'm definitely working on it. Sorry, Mac gamers. If you run into any issues playing the game please feel free to email me at the support email for this game, or post on the discussion forum, etc. I fixed all the bugs that my playtesters found, but I imagine with more people playing there will be a lot more found in the coming days. I'll be around to fix issues as they come up. I'll also try to stay communicative with the updates so people know what's next. Feel free to follow the community page for this game. This game was a labor of love, and I hope you enjoy playing it. Thank you for all your love and support, without which this game would not have been possible!! <3<3<3<3
