VN Ren'Py Hard to Love [v0.25] [Qori Gaming]

[legend_shon]

Plot wise i liked the remake better cuz it gave us proper story abt mcs background with yakuzas and all unlike the old one imo
Character model wise and heck animations, not so much
But regarding using ai part, in the discord, they mentioned of not using ai anymore

before last update was just copying. but in 0.23:

in 1st part their relations was more tense and slower(i dont like and play slow drama games so this is not the case) + next few scenes with different girls i forgot, also hentai-ish.
btw doesnt dev started remaking game, because it was ~0.5-0.6?) in-game it was decent 0.2. so there was no problem

I'm so happy we finally got some action with Nanami. She has been wanting to be spoiled and called a good girl from her first appearance.

...so she can manipulate the MC, but yes, she has. I'd trust Isabella's take on her way more than Nanami's faux, "Whoopsie-daisy... I don't know how to drink from a bottle; I put my mouth... here... do I?" Especially since she's tied directly to Madison, which obviously has only the MC's best interests in mind. Honestly, I find it pretty irritating that the MC is like, "Herpa-derp! A damsel in distress? She's such a cutie-pie! I'll just ignore my actual daughter and let this stranger pull me around by the nose everywhere."

Yes, I love Nanami's physical appearance (minus her blimp-sized breasts), but her personality and clear manipulation is a bit grating for my tastes. To be fair, I hate it when any character acts like they have helium in their head.

Eh, MC simply feels no threat from this girl, he's sued to way bigger fish. Sure, he should notice her room temperature IQ act, but he probably would rather follow along to get something out of it in the process.

But realistically, I gave up expecting much from MC. He's just not the sharpest tool in the shed, being pushed around even before this. Dude's an impulsive depressed drunk that can't keep his life in line.

I'm just here expecting that after doing this much with his sister and even a girl his daughter's age, he will give in and not play the stupid "no, this is all wrong, but I still want to" games like the average dumb MC.

Also, her breast size, with that build, MAKE her character design, bud, but different strokes for different cocks I guess.

Yes, exactly. And that's the problem. At best she's manipulated by Madison, which means the MC will then get blackmailed by his younger sister. And that already happens (unless ofc you missed the final Madison scene, in which case it is still yet to come). At worst, Nanami is far smarter than she acts (which IMO it's pretty obvious is true) and is twisting the MC around her finger of her own accord and not at Madison's behest. Letting that happen to a complete stranger is always a stupid move.

But realistically, I gave up expecting much from MC. He's just not the sharpest tool in the shed, being pushed around even before this. Dude's an impulsive depressed drunk that can't keep his life in line.

On that we definitely can agree. I just feel that his responses to Nanami are yet another example of that.

I'm just here expecting that after doing this much with his sister and even a girl his daughter's age, he will give in and not play the stupid "no, this is all wrong, but I still want to" games like the average dumb MC.

It definitely is an inconsistency with his character. Incest is a far bigger taboo than bedding a girl 20 years younger than you. I don't think "this is all wrong" as a moral statement makes sense. However, given his run-ins with Yakuza, you'd think he'd be just a little bit guarded against people he doesn't know, especially when they seem "too good to be true", "too dumb to be real", or whatever else.

Also, her breast size, with that build, MAKE her character design, bud, but different strokes for different cocks I guess.

Absolutely different strokes. Shrink her boobs by at least 4 letters and 3 numbers and I'd be much happier.

This is exactly why I changed his name to Simp Chris
Amber's just as guilty

February newsletter

Hey 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!

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!

[With The]

hope she is okay tho, even tho the story ingame indeed very depressing

 

[Riman3]

As for game update it look promising, because she finally learn how make proper visuals without AI and even tried make animation.
Now all she need to do is to continue making new updates and later remake those early chapters where she used AI.
I think by time she make final version of game, it would be prety solid game.
Seem she is on right direction of developing this game.

 

[-FibaG-]

can anyone still have the incest patch Before Remake ?
What's the difference before remake and the remake in this game? any change in characters?

They are all the same.

Yes, there are changes in it.

 

[Jack'son]

The comments are really cruel and misogynistic. Why do you care if she used AI? Would you like her to wash clothes by hand and to cook from scratch? Anyone that doesn't use AI for intellectual work (AI still won't put snowchains on the car so I moved to Mexico) has a screw loose.

 

[TLOP]

ayoo will the new update 0.24 be posted?

 

[dolfe67]

ayoo will the new update 0.24 be posted?

Yes. Don't ask when.

 

[knopfler1]

I don't know for sure, but for the last three, I would assume those are for whom you spend the (currently) final night with. Using your screenshot, that would be Amber (top middle), Madison (top right), and Elizabeth (bottom left). My memory's a little fuzzy on specifics, so there might be other ways to get them. But IIRC:

So, I believe Isabella is mutually exclusive with any other girls (so you can only get her); or, you can get Nanami (but not staying the night) and Amber both, but then Madison and Elizabeth are mutually exclusive (you must pick one of them, based on the above).

There must be a specific sequence in order to get the Good Boy's Reward, because I played Madison's scene choosing multiple paths and still couldn't get the badge. Has anyone gotten it?

 

[moonshadow]

This post used to have something nice in it...
Check back later..

Choose "Make peace with Madison" in pool scene with Nanami and "Hold it" in night scene with Madison.

 

[-CookieMonster666-]

Choose "Make peace with Madison" in pool scene with Nanami and "Hold it" in night scene with Madison.

Thanks! I remembered that I got it, but I couldn't remember the how. Glad you did.

Theres quite a lot of content i feel like added in the remake
Also i agree with you, another point i would like to add, mc becoming a horn dog at 40 years age, feels kinda weird to me

Becoming? Wasn't it strongly enough implied that he constantly slept with prostitutes throughout his time in Osaka (so for years and years)? I would definitely call someone who does that nightly a horndog.
