- V0.11 Dev Update + New Previews - 1 September 2026
Hey guys! I said I would keep sharing progress here, so I wanted to give you a proper, longer update this time with more details about what has been happening, what I'm working on, and some previews from V0.11. First, I should explain what has been slowing me down lately. If you remember, I had problems with my 3090 in the past. I paid to have its thermal pads replaced, and after that it worked fine for quite a while. About a month ago, it finally decided to give up on me. Before I knew for sure what was happening, my PC kept crashing, which made it almost impossible to work normally. Luckily, I already had a 5090 that I bought a while ago, but I never plugged it in because the DAZ version I normally use doesn't support it properly. Some boring explanation of what DAZ is - if you don't care about that, you can skip the next paragraph. For those who don't know, DAZ is the program I use t…
- Dev Update - V0.11 Progress and the Bar Night - 13 June 2026
Hey guys! I know it's been quiet for a while, and I apologize. I've been working on a very challenging update, and I realized it's time to fill you in on what I'm doing. As you know, the last alpha ended right before the night event started, and the next part focuses on that. The bar night is currently the largest scene I have ever worked on. I expected it to be big, but I only really understood the scale once I started writing and coding all the different paths. Looking back, I probably would have made it smaller, because I know many of you are eager for the next part. But at this point, I would rather keep moving forward and finish what is already built instead of scrapping parts that are already working just to push something out faster. The idea is simple on paper: MC helps Emily make the night work. In practice, it means checking in with different characters, choosing who to spend…
- Long Story Short V0.11a0.1 alpha is now available! - 23 January 2026
Long Story Short V0.11a0.1 is out and can be accessed through the Beta tab!Hey everyone,The new alpha version is now available on Steam. You can try it right away by opting into the public_alpha branch (instructions below).A quick note:I’ve already seen a few comments about the update length. I won’t go into this too much here since this is just an announcement post, but I want to be honest with you.The way I currently develop the game, with a lot of optional paths, clothing variations, and branching choices, takes a lot of time and doesn’t always translate into a longer playable update.I’m not saying anything will change, but I wanted to give you a heads-up while I take some time to think about the structure going forward.Translation support:This update also adds support for custom language translations. If you'd like to translate the game into your own language, it's now possible! The…
- Dev Update! - 6 November 2025
Hey guys, and maybe some girls!Let me start by saying that I (hopefully) solved my GPU crashing issue.For those who don’t know, I’m currently using a 3090, and I also have a 5090 that’s not in use yet because I’m waiting for Daz (the software I use to render) to officially support it outside of alpha. My 3090 started crashing a few months ago while I was wrapping up the previous update, and instead of spending time debugging the issue, I focused on finishing the last few renders so I could get the update out.Anyway, hopefully I’m not jinxing it, but switching to a new power supply seems to have fixed the problem.Now to the actual dev update:This is probably the most challenging update I’ve worked on.While I was working on V0.10, I already had a pretty clear idea of which scenes I wanted to include in V0.11. The TTricky part was figuring out how to start the update in a way that ties eve…
- Small Bug Fix – Skipped Scene - 6 September 2025
This update fixes a bug that caused players to miss a small scene in two specific paths: Ann’s girlfriend route (non-corruption) Ann’s hate route (not girlfriend) You can still use your old saves. This scene doesn't change much besides some context between Ann and the MC. However, if you’d like to see said scene, make sure you are on the right path and simply load a save right before returning the outfit to Mario (the big, buffed guy). This patch also enables unlocking of the “Wear It Now” gallery item that was bugged.

- Dev update and a bit more - 16 March 2025
Hey everyone! Some personal stuff – you can skip to the technical stuff about the update below if you find this boring I found myself struggling a lot with how I wanted to start this post. As someone who's been developing the game for years and sharing a lot about my development progress (and more intimate details of how the project came to life), I tend to forget that when I upload the game to a new platform (Steam in this case), many of you just discovered it and know nothing about me or the project. Long Story Short is my hobby, and I find joy every time I work on it. Besides that, I also have a family and a full-time job. I work on the game whenever I have free time, and sometimes I forget I should step away from development to write these updates so you know I'm actively working on it. I guess that's just my way of saying that if I'm ever quiet, it means I'm working as hard as I ca…
- Steam Deck Issue [Launch with Proton Compatibility] - 2 December 2024
Hey everyone! I'm aware that running Long Story Short on the Steam Deck is causing performance and UI issues, making the game unplayable. Quick Fix: To smooth things out, here’s what you can do: Right-click on Long Story Short in your Steam library. Click on 'Properties'. Go to ‘Compatibility’. Check the box to enable Proton for the game. I tried fixing this issue, but since I don't have the device, it's nearly impossible. I've issued a ticket to Steam to try and get a test device so I can resolve this issue. I'm glad that until I get my hands on one, the Proton compatibility works well. Thanks to everyone who reported it and is trying to help me fix it! Cheers 🍻, TTrick.
- I found a Diglett! - Achievement bug fixed - 25 October 2024
Pushed a small fix that will allow you to unlock the "I found a Diglett!" achievement correctly.
- Save the date! October 24th 2024! - 4 October 2024
It's my first post, I hope you're all doing well! So, I've finally set a specific date, as mentioned in the title – October 24th, 2024! I've been working non-stop to set everything up and make it possible. I haven't completed everything yet, but I believe I can finish it in time. I'm both excited and nervous, and I hope you'll enjoy the game! I'd also like to address some questions I've seen here and in other forums. Currently, the game has no translations and is in English only. However, I'm working on implementing translation support, and hopefully, I can find some great people to translate it into other languages. :) I've been working on the game since 2019, with a big break in the middle to build my own engine. That's why some of the early renders are a bit outdated. While working on new content, I’m also reworking some of the early renders. I'm the type of person who likes to keep…
