Fuyuko Mie - reference sheet and the story behind the design

Fuyuko Mie, 35, co-owner of the Komadori Inn. Managing it with her husband since a couple of years before, when they took over the poorly performing business from the previous owner with her parents' life savings and turned it into a thriving enterprise. Although it has always been her dream and she loves her job, the hotel takes a heavy toll on their marriage...

When we created the concept of the game that "Komadori Inn" was to be, the character of the (marri...

Project "Hotel" devlog #1

The first two full weeks have passed since the production of the project "Hotel"  started. Warmed up by the May sunshine and the vision of our new game, we're banging on our keyboards to move things forward. Here is a brief summary.

Project settings and changes in the dialog system

The thing that had to happen was setting up a new project in our game engine. As "Hotel" is supposed to be an evolution, not a revolution from "Long and Hard... Summer!", the obvio...

New project and changes to our Patreon!

Hello ⭐Patrons⭐ !

Let's start with the huge THANK YOU for your support. We're really grateful that you're still with us, even though LaHS was released a couple of months ago. It gives us a lot of hope and encourages us to continue working, the effects of which we hope you will see soon.

Now we want to announce a few things to you now so that you can make an informed decision about further support.

Maid update is live!

Hello Horny People!

The update 1.10 is finally here and to celebrate it we also start a 30% sale!

It's content is exactly what was initially planned, so the changelog looks like this:

Sale, Trading Cards, DLC!

It's been a while since we've given an update on what's going on in the world of LaHS, and we've gathered some information on upcoming sales, community items, and game content updates, so let's get going!

Sale 

The Steam Spring Sale is about to start this Thursday (16.03) and will last for a week, where everyone will be able to purchase LaHS at a discounted price. This is our first sale since the game's release, and seeing how many players are anticipating it...

Bonus Art Poll #1

Hi! 

If we were to, theoretically, post a bonus image here, which character would you like to see?

Meet our cute addition to the roster!

Hello Patrons!

It's crazy to think that it's been only a month since the game's release. It feels like so many things happened since then. Probably because we're spending additional hours refreshing every possible page, waiting for bug reports and reviews and checking numbers to be sure that the game runs smoothly and everybody's simply enjoying it.

Thanks to our excessive testing before the release, there weren't many things we needed to fix, and with the last update to version 1...

We're live!

We did it!

We're happy.

We're tired.

We're stressed.

But we did it!

This was long and hard 2,5 years of the development, and even that we've tried to prepare everything in advance, last week was a total crunch time for us.

There's definitely still some room for improvement, but we did our best. If you'll find anything off, just let us know.

All we can...

Just a week left!

Hey everyone!

We're thiiiiiiiis close to the big premiere of "Long and Hard... Summer!". Just a week left until 15th of December, when you'll be able to get your hands on our Dating Sim. And what's important, we're happy to announce that the game's content is 100% completed! All illustrations and scenes are in place and waiting for you to enjoy! In fact, our Patrons received the ac...

Dev status and release date!

Hello Horny people!  

Yesterday we have pushed version 0.88 (and today we've fixed it) to our Patrons, and as you'll be able to see on the picture below:   

The game is finishied! 

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 rele...

Pushing through to the end!

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:

Bells and balls

Hello Patrons!

You might have noticed an item available to buy at the convenience store called "Diamond Ring". This one will allow you to propose to a girl of your choosing. If she accept it, it will unlock a special illustration with the bride at the end of the game.

Here you can vote on the position that will be presented.

To make the voting easier, below is the representation of the positions you can vote on:

Development Status V. 0.86

Just so you won't think we disappeared again, here's a little development status update. 💪

As you've probably noticed, there are no new demo versions published. That's simply because, getting closer to the game completion, we're focusing on elements of the game that are further in the story than the first two weeks. 🤷‍♂️ But everyone that got the Steam Key to our "Early Access" thro...

Heatwaves, vacations and development status

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 t...

We're among the most anticipated games on Steam!

Hello Horny people!

We're proud to announce that our "Long and Hard... Summer!" has reached the level of people's attention that entitles it to land on the list of the "Popular Upcoming" games on Steam!

For us, small fry developers, it means really a lot, and mostly that you really enjoy our game! This couldn't be possible without your engagement, so we'd like to celebrate this moment with a little extra.

Kaname's putting her (second) heart to it

Hey everyone!

Something really fresh here. A sketch of the latest illustration you've voted on: a reward for reaching Kaname-chan's second heart, for which she'll suck us off in the alley. We're doing a little twist here, so you'll be able to enjoy this scene from two angles at the same time!

This is the first iteration, so few things will be changed for the final version, but do please enjoy!

A new scene in v 0.84!

Hello, 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!

World improvements in V 0.83!

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 prev...

A little Towel Day celebration!

We're no Sci-fi brand but hey, girls and towels is a lovely mix that we couldn't waste! Happy Towel Day!

Towel Day is celebrated every year on 25 May as a tribute to the author Douglas Adams by his fans. On this day, fans openly carry a towel with them, as described in Adams' The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, to demonstrate their appreciation for the books and the author.

Kaname's first heart reward

Enjoy your weekend and have fun!

Changelog:

We did it! And yes, we did it!

Oh the joy!

Our hearts are full of warmth and our minds vibrate with happiness but no, not from staring at Kaname-chan's rack, but thanks to you!

Setting up our Patreon was a big experiment for us, and to tell you the truth, we didn't expect to find so many people to support us so quickly.

$ 100 may not seem like a huge amount, but it already makes it easier for us to make ends meet while bringing more content to the game. Not to mention the fact that this is only the first ...
