Long and Hard... Summer! News

Hello Horny people!

A couple of days ago we have pushed version 0.88 (and later we've fixed it 😅) to our Patrons, and as you'll be able to see on the picture below:

The game is finished!

Well, sort of, mostly... We're still waiting for a couple of illustrations and there's still a lot of testing and polishing before us, NONETHELESS, there's no going back now and we can officially say that "Long and Hard... Summer!" will be released on December 15th! 🥳 The time will come for bigger posts, thank yous and some summary, but what's important:

- It is the last call you can buy the Early Access version on our Patreon, which means it is the last chance to get the game for 10$ (for the next, at least, six to twelve months, depending on our sales numbers and future promotions). The keys will disappear from Patreon on around 15th of November.

- The current state of development means we will be removing some rewards from Patreon, so you're free to cancel your subscriptions without feeling guilty. But, of course, we'll be more than happy if you still want to support our operations. If that makes any difference, we're currently planning at least one free DLC. 😉

- "Long and Hard... Summer!" will be released fully on 15th of December on Steam and Itchio with 20% discount (15$ full price, 12$ after discount)

Cheers!

Hello everyone!

Just a quick update on what's going on. We're doing our best to deliver the game to you ASAP, so we're just focusing on finishing all that's left.

Yesterday our Patrons received an update with V 0.87 that moves us a bit closer to the final release.

Here's the current game's state:


Not much left and we're pretty sure we'll finish the main content during October. After that we'll need some time for testing and polishing, to make sure that the final product will be just great!

Thanks everyone for your support!

Hello, Horny People!

You don't have to be particularly observant to notice that recently we are quite less active than usually. There were couple of reasons for that (with two of them mentioned in the title), but the good thing is that none of them were directly related to the game development and our team. I think there's no need to get into the details, but let's just say that we have experienced a different type of a long and hard summer. ;)

There are four things I wish to convey with this post, with first two of them being that the production of LaHS newer was at any risk and that starting from today you should hear from us more often. We just had to slow down a bit, but our game was still steadily developed in silence.

And now we're getting to the third point, which is the development status. As I've said, we were still moving forward and as a result, yesterday (Monday 22/08), our Patrons have received an update of the Early Access version, with a couple of changes in the time passing (which was removed from a few plot scenes), new map, new illustration and an ability to replay the sexy-times in the NudeTube app. As for the main events of the game, here is how we're doing:


I've presented our status in that way with the version 0.80.1 which was in March (almost half a year ago!) and not much has changed, but that's just because we were still messing around with the core mechanics, adding new features and focusing on polishing what was already made (mostly thanks to your feedback ❤). I think it's safe to say now that we've finally entered a phase consisting of scene writing only, and believe me, this is the easiest part. In other words, we're on a highway to finishing the game.

A lot of you are asking when will the game be released. We've aimed for the October before and it's still possible. We don't want to set any hard deadlines for ourselves, but even considering some other possible slip-ups along the road October/November is more than very realistic.

That's it for the status.

The fourth thing I wanted to give you with this post is just a small gift. With heatwaves flowing through the whole World and another possible temperature risings upcoming, we got an illustration of Yui-chan who'd like to share a popsicle with you. You can find it here. Sorry if it won't make you feel any colder though...

¡Hola, Horny!

I hope your summer goes well (long and hard, to be precise... 👀)! Scorching heat and lazy vibes do make it harder to spend additional hours working, but hey - we keep pushing, and this update is a proof of that. 💪

By the way, something really good happened in the last few days, but we're going to announce it in a bit with something extra!

Ok, without any further ado, here's what's new:

CHANGELOG:

• Kaname-chan's first heart reward - the scene after reaching first heart with Kaname-chan got updated with a second, fiery part
  
• New interactive objects - a lot of stuff to find has been scattered around the world to look for. Better use that "Shift" key!
  
• Gotta pee! - Sometimes you'll just have to go...
  
• "I can't wait for the weekend to begin!" - Bar gets crowdy during the weekends
  
• Stat raised GUI update - Notification got a little bit more juicy. It's nothing much, but it's still an honest job...
  
• Meet Daniel! - our Patron's NPC is out and about in the City.
  

* Yui-chan's second Quest and sex scene! - this one is only available in the Early Access version you can get through our Patreon.

Enjoy!

Hello horny!

During last weeks we've mainly worked on upgrading the game's world: maps, special events, NPCs etc. and this is probably the last update that will have some significant changes in the demo. New versions will be released still, some will let you see new scenes too, but since we'll be focusing on finishing the later parts of the main plot, they might not be as "exciting" as the previous updates. (Don't forget you can get the Early Access with everything unlocked on our Patreon 👀 ).

But hey, this just means that we are heading towards the completion of the development. During the last weekend we've laid out the roadmap of (possibly) every remaining update with everything that's yet to come and we're on a good way to release the game this year.

Enough talk. Just go and play the demo.

CHANGELOG:

- Bonus sex scene in the bar
- Patron's NPCs: Ryuuji and Josema
- Home gets visibly dirty with time (cleaning removes dirt)
- Yui in pajamas - updated illustration (Sunday, Week 1)
- Map changes: upgraded neighboring town, underground ticket station, toilet in the cafe
- Car sounds and lights (at night)
- Random "piss" encounter
- Minigame on PC

Enjoy!
