• We broke more than we fixed - 1 August 2024

  Hey everyone! Sorry about the last shenanigans with updates. We wanted to fix one problem for one player, and it turns out that we messed up a couple of things, so we had to revert to the last working version. Because of what happened yesterday, some of your save files might got broken (if you turned on the game and it saved with the "new" version). You can fix your save file by going to the save file location (By default it's in AppData > Local > Long_and_Hard____Summer_ ) Find the line Room="ref room 46" And delete ref room So the line looks like this Room="46" If you have problems with doing that please contact us and we can try to fix your save file. Sorry!

• Small fix - 31 July 2024

  One of the players reported that he has problems with the game always opening in full screen, as his computer has issues with it. So we just did a small patch allowing for permanent change to window mode. If you press F10 the game will switch to window and this setting will be saved.

• Komadori Inn - our next title in the making! - 11 April 2024

  Hello players! Don't know, if you know, but we're working on our next title: Komadori Inn! If you liked our "Long and Hard... Summer!"

Voices? Check. Animated sex scenes? Check, check, check! We've been slow cooking it for a year already, so there's a lot to catch up for you if it's the first time you're hearing about it. You can start with paying a visit to it's Steam store page and adding it to your wishlist. But wait, there's more! We have recently released our first public demo, so you can give it a go now! Don't forget to tell us what you think and stay tuned for more updates!

• Visual patch, v 1.11 - 15 May 2023

  Hello players! A small patch to version 1.11 has been released. With this update, the game should look better on full screen on higher resolutions. Have fun!

• Maid update is live! - 10 April 2023

  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: - The Office Building in the City Center is now open every morning with two floors accessible. One of the floors is the headquarters for Maid Corp LLC, where you can subscribe to the maid services for 3000 YEN - Yukiko Hirano - your maid with her story and three new illustrations to unlock - New minigame (but relax, it's not that hard) We hope you'll enjoy this little addition and with this... we get back to work. 👀 Have fun and expect a little announcement in two weeks! Bye bye~

• Sale, Trading Cards, DLC! - 15 March 2023

  Howdy Horny People! 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, we decided to promote it at 30%! Don't forget to let your friends know! Community Items We are extremely pleased to announce that LaHS has qualified for a group of games entitled to add Cards, Badges and Profile Backgrounds, which you will be able to acquire by playing the game and exchanging with other users. Well... the truth is that we qualified some time ago, which we also already announced, so we are extrem…

• A little update - 13 January 2023

  Hello Players! 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 1.03 two weeks ago (which was mostly just Spanish translation) bug reports pretty much stopped. This allowed us to reflect on the other wishes of our players and additional content that we would like to add to the game in the near future. Additionally, we promised you at least one free DLC and we want to keep that promise. Our lower activity on Discord and other communication channels means only one thing - we a…

• V 1.03: Spanish! - 27 December 2022

  Hello horny people! We come with a small but very important update. In addition to fixing a minor bug, version 1.03 introduces a complete Spanish translation! It will definitely need a few more tweaks (the text may be a bit too wide in some places), but the game should be understandable now without any problems. Our community member, Josema0890, is responsible for the translation. Thank you, we love you.

• V 1.02 - 22 December 2022

  Update 1.02 is coming sooner than expected! But with one bad news. We had to backtrack from introducing mouse controls. :( The first tests were promising, but we encountered enough difficulties along the way that in its current state, this feature would be more trouble than fun. We may come back to this feature at some point, but I don't want to make any promises now because it turned out to be more difficult than we thought. If you've been waiting for this, we're sorry! Thus, the list of changes looks like this: - The PC minigame saves its state, so when you return you can pick up where you left off - In the same minigame, the controls have changed - you don't need to press space to dash - The last level of the same minigame is a little easier - The nurse scene is unlockable after week 8 (Hasegawa-sensei will still be available in the classroom and will allow you to retake tests, enoug…

• Winter Sale and next patch incoming! - 21 December 2022

  Hello everyone! As most of you probably already know, the big Winter Sale is about to start! Taking advantage of this opportunity, we decided to extend our release discount for the duration of this event, so "Long and Hard...Summer!" will still be available for 20% off until January 5th! Yippee! If anyone expected a bigger discount: we could either extend the current one or not give any at all, so... But this is not the end of news, because in a day or two (or three or four) we will post another batch of fixes made after your comments! What will change? - Mouse control! - this is our first attempt, so it won't be perfect and will definitely need some tweaking, but we'll be expanding this feature with future updates. Let us know if you like this control style. Currently, the mouse will only be available during gameplay (menus and phone will still require a keyboard or gamepad). - The PC…

• V 1.01 patch! - 18 December 2022

  Hello horny people! We're two and a half days into the game's release and the interest in LaHS has exceeded our wildest expectations! A big high-five for everyone who likes our game! And for those who don't like it - thank you for your comments and tips on what we could do better. The place where we are now as IPP came only from our willingness to develop. As a small two-person studio (working with great artists), we knew from the start that we couldn't please everyone with our first Dating Sim, and collecting feedback is just a natural part of getting better at what we want to do. And comparing the reception of LaHS to our previous games, we're doing pretty well. Today you received the first set of small tweaks that we made thanks to your feedback. Thank you again for it! A list of changes: - We changed the description of the "True Criminal" quest - many of you pointed out that it is n…

• We're live! - 15 December 2022

  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 ask you for, is for you to enjoy the game and have fun. We want to make better games, and there's a lot of new ideas brewing in our minds already. But for now, we're waiting for the first bug reports to come in. 😄 Cheers!

• Chinese Language - 12 December 2022

  Hello we have added Chinese language to the game! We call it "BETA" because we don't speak Chinese and we don't know if everything is correct. (But it was translated professionally) I hope that Chinese speaking players can enjoy our game. Please tell us if something's wrong! Best Regards Macamagucha

• Just a week left! - 9 December 2022

  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 access to the version 0.99 yesterday, to give it a final go. We've tested LaHS a couple of times already, and we'll continue to do it the until the final day to make sure that everything is as close to perfection as we can do. Currently, there are a few minor things to fix, mainly in the text (Polish version), we're waiting for the French translation to be completed (thank you Reddox

• Finish line and release date! - 11 November 2022

  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 r…

• Just a quick update - 6 October 2022

  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!

• Heatwaves, vacations and development status - 25 August 2022

  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…

• New scene in V0.84! - 26 June 2022

  ¡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…
