Added 2025-02-04 07:16:01 +0000 UTCHey everyone! Your dev Yukana🌸 here after a month of radio silence~
Where have I been? Diving deep into 3D wizardry! 🎮✨ Guess what? I FINALLY achieved those perfect skin textures I wanted - WITHOUT AI! happy dance The denoise quality is way better than the first version too!
For Hard to Love v0.24, here's when you can expect it:
📅 Release Schedule:
Sensei ($50): Feb 4
Daimyo ($30): Feb 6
Otaku ($15): Feb 8
Senpai ($10): Feb 13
Fan ($5): Feb 16
About Android ports: I know some of you asked, but... I have zero experience with native Android development. It needs GUI resizing, button placement tweaks, and parallel development... Maybe after the game is complete? If any Android devs want to port for free... wink wink
Personal life stuff: Still juggling work and keeping up with my meds. They're helping me see the world a bit less gray, even though life's throwing more challenges my way. Still dreaming about that future home with my kitties and my big doggo (yes, the one from the logo! 🐕)
Oh! After you play, pretty please let me know what you think about the graphics and animations! I know there are some quirks (like those static hands or clipping issues), but I promise to fix those in the next update!
And now for the technical changelog...

Great game, but I would love to see more Animation scenes instead of just photos. Thank you for your hard work.

2025-02-04 13:37:15 +0000 UTCHi... as I said before I don't know how to port or code for Android. I only support PC or Mac. Maybe I will port it when I finish all the episodes.

2025-02-04 09:47:51 +0000 UTCYour graphics, narrative and soundtrack is one of the best there are and not only that yes your work in general is one of the best visual novels that are currently so do not worry too much about that 🚬🗿
