Hello everyone, this is the Troubleshooter dev team.
First of all, we would like to thank you all for enjoying our game.
Today, we would like to announce the situation of the dev team ask for your understanding.
Last summer, the dev team tried to focus on developing the game, but the result was far from what we have planned. As a result, Troubleshooter has not had an update for about two months. However, we are planning to update our first DLC Troubleshooter: Abandoned Children – White Lion and Black Witch on November 16, P.M 11(GMT + 9).
We are going to release the DLC for free hence there will be no extra charges. We originally planned for Bianca and Alisa to join Albus in the main episode, but due to the development schedule, we were unable to do so. White Lion and Black Witch is a story about Bianca and Alisa. The episode will be playable after you finish the main episode: Troubleshooter: Abandoned Children.
1. Troubleshooter: Abandoned Children – White Lion and Black Witch DLC update schedule
We have been planning to release the DLC earlier but have kept you waiting for a long time due to our lack of ability. We are deeply sorry about that. Currently, we have completed the base work, but we still have scenario missions and translations to do.
For the above reason, on November 16, we will be going to update the first mission of DLC, which will be a story about how Bianca and Alisa join Albus. After then, for every one to two weeks, we will be going to update the scenario mission. There will be a total of 8 scenario missions and one violent case.
We understand that you have been waiting for an update for a long time. The dev team has failed to meet the deadline. We are deeply sorry about it. However, we thought releasing playable content that is not fully prepared is the worst choice we can make. The dev team concluded to choose quality over quantity.
After we finish updating the DLC, new illustrations and BGM will be updated to the art book and the soundtrack.
We apologize for the inconvenience we brought despite all your support.

- 1 violent case

- New mastery and systems
2. Troubleshooter: Banished Children update schedule
There is no project running at the moment. Thanks to your support, we have been able to develop our Troubleshooter: Abandoned Children this year. However, developing Troubleshooter: Banished Children will take at least a year, judging by the dev team’s capability.
For us, a year is a very long time. There are too many factors to consider; including the fact that we might not be able to maintain the dev team. Therefore, we cannot promise you when we will start the project. To resolve anxiety factors, we are going to mainly focus on improving Troubleshooter: Abandoned Children. We are going to improve the content and add more quests and additional elements to make the game richer.
We are sorry to let you down with the news. We will find a way to start the project Troubleshooter: Banished Children as soon as we finish updating the DLC.
3. About online content
The dev team was planning to make Troubleshooter an online game with a short story. However, going through early access, a lot of you wanted us to work on the level of completion of the game as a single play game. The dev team agreed on the idea and thus worked on improving the quality. This, however, turned out to be the reason for the failure of the dev team to provide the majority of the promised online content.
On one thought, we thought of giving up the online content. However, we believe that co-op and PVP can provide extra playable content to those who have completed the game. Therefore, we are going to work on the online part when we have the time and capacity to do it. Nonetheless, we are going to primarily focus on the DLC and online content will come after we finish updating the DLC.
We apologize to those who had been waiting for the online content.
Thank you very much.
