If she still has the pre-AI filtered renders, it wouldn't be much work to update the game

If that's the case, then that would be awesome... assuming her workflow didn't change at all apart from slapping an AI filter on the renders.

I do agree with everyone saying the AI filter has to go.
The one thing this game always had above the rest was phenomenal renders but even that got taken from us. As for animations a lot of big games manage without them if they require too much work or just don't add enough value.
Now the important question is this game actually still worth pursuing? With all the remakes and time spent I can't imagine this game has been lucrative at all and it already has a pretty tarnished reputation that will take ages to fix with everything from the original writing to the renders of the remake we got now.
At this point it might have just been better to abandon this game and start completely fresh on a new title and just use whatever she learned from this endeavour going forward.
But I do gotta give her credit for sticking with it as long as she has done with what looks like a very stacked deck against her.
Most devs on the site would have dropped their game ages ago.

I feel like it is definitely still worth pursuing. I know that a lot of people here are not fans of the A.I filter but even with it I would say this game still looks better than 50 to 60% of the games on this forum. All the women in the game are very hot. I would play it for Isabella or Amber alone. And the remake actually improved the story a lot. In my opinion it's a lot more enjoyable and easy to follow. I think what she needs to do now is not over complicate things and try to have a consistent release schedule.

Playing "Hard To Love" is always a delight, it is undoubtedly perfect, everything the dev shows in the game is conveyed. In the sad parts, I can feel the sadness that the MC suffers due to the sudden and unexpected departure of Antonella and not to mention the sexy moments with all the girls, which are perfect.

Yes, the patch for the remake is the same, it's just an activator.

December News
Hi everyone...
I hope you all had nice holidays. I spent mine with my kitties and my puppy. Thank you so much for downloading the latest update and for all your feedback and opinions. After reading through everything, I've made some important decisions.
Let me share the big news!
First, I'm going back to full 3D (just Daz3D), dropping the AI + Daz3D blending. Your feedback, combined with the new solutions I found, really helped me make this decision.
About the technical improvements - you'll notice I've attached several PNG images of the new main menu. Let me break down what you're seeing:
Oh! I discovered something amazing - Obsidian! You wouldn't believe how helpful it's been for organizing ideas and connecting all those scattered notes from various Word docs, Excel sheets, and random papers around my house. I've included the "neural" network view of what I've done - each dot represents a connected element. It might not make sense to you, but I wanted to share anyway!
About character development:
I'll start converting the draft into something more concrete and begin rendering soon.
Kisses to everyone and thank you for your support

About the technical improvements - you'll notice I've attached several PNG images of the new main menu. Let me break down what you're seeing:
- Pure Daz3D with Photoshop clipping fixes and Lightroom adjustments
- Upscaled textures to 8K (used AI just for this)
- Combined with original textures
- AI-assisted JPEG compression and DDS error removal
- Added normal maps and bump maps
- New optimized render settings (finally found the sweet spot!)

About character development:
- I noticed your comments about some good AI effects, like Madison's improvements. So I've tried to achieve better shaping naturally, making her slightly different from her pre-remake version
- All female characters got new skin textures, including Aoi and Aya (non-LIs returning in Act 2). Aya's got a new hairstyle too!
- Elizabeth's aging effects are now achieved without AI - something I thought impossible before! Yes, she looks worn and sad now, but don't worry - she'll have a glow-up in Act 2
- Those who played before the remake might remember Kitsune - she's coming back in Act 2
I'll start converting the draft into something more concrete and begin rendering soon.
Kisses to everyone and thank you for your support

She sounds so fired up and excited. I love it.
Winter season can be trying times for anyone but it does sound like she is doing far better now.

Using AI in a segment where you're already good I think is a very questionable decision to begin with. The only possible reason I see for this approach is so that the characters and environments don't have that distinctive “DAZ style”, which would make the visuals more unique. But, as practice has shown, it is almost impossible to maintain a single clear style after AI processing (at least, for now).
So, I glad the dev decided to drop the AI - her artstyle is really nice.

When I play, I feel that the plot of the bottom life in Japan is deeply exciting and extraordinary. on the contrary, the story back in the rich harem is slightly mediocre.
It wasn't until I saw that the author's page was a Japanese female indie producer that it dawned on me.
Extraordinary art comes from the lives of ordinary people. salute to every mortal. salute to YUKANA.
