How do you bypass regionblocks on steam? It says the game is not available in my region.

If you sub at a $10 tier on Patreon or SubscribeStar, OR if you have subbed at any tier for enough time to reach $10 (for example, if you were $1 tier for 10 months), you can contact TTrick through whatever account you have and he will give you a Steam key. That should be able to bypass the region requirement.

Same with Itch.io. If you go to his page and have spent $10 and can prove it, he will give you a Steam key.

Hello again, everyone!
As I mentioned before, I'm so excited that Long Story Short is now available on Steam! It took a while, but I hope it will be worth it! Thank you all for being patient with me, and I promise to make it worth your while!

First, I'm going to post the links for the full V0.9 version in a different post (I'll pin it).

Second, I'd like to address some frequent questions that may have been unclear from my previous posts.

• The
  You must be registered to see the links
  version is the same as V0.9a, but it includes the missing animations, new Jenny scenes, and the two paths (Joe rival and Ann hate) that were paused at the start of V0.7.
• I mentioned in my previous post that I paused payments for October, so if you plan to continue supporting me, I'd really appreciate it if you purchase the game on Steam and leave a positive review. It really helps bring the game to more people.
• If your total contribution is above the Steam launch price ($9.99), you can request a Steam key from me—just contact me, and I'll provide one.
• For those blocked from purchasing the game on Steam (e.g., in Germany), you can still use a key to launch the game; you're just restricted from accessing the store page.
• I understand that some people prefer not to have adult games on their Steam account, so here is what you can do:
  • You can set the game to private and hide it from everyone.
  • I’ve also opened an
    You must be registered to see the links
    page. If you'd prefer, you can request a key for that store, and I’ll provide one. It’s the same as Steam and will give you access to all future full releases.
  • You can upgrade your tier to the Playa tier and get the game from here.
    

With that out of the way, the main question is: Why should you continue supporting me on Patreon/SubscribeStar?

I will continue posting alpha/beta versions here, while the full versions will be available across all platforms.
And just a reminder, if you're on a tier below the Playa tier, you won’t have access here to the full release because Steam doesn’t allow the game to be priced lower than theirs.
For Playa+ tiers, nothing will change—I’ll post the links here, and everything will remain the same.

For lower tiers, if you don’t want to upgrade and get the links from here, don't forget that the key will give you access to play the game through

I believe this is fair for everyone and even improves the experience.
If you feel it's not, please leave a comment or contact me directly and I'm sure we'll find the best solution for you.

Thanks again for your support and for sticking around!

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I was actually just about to message you. I was talking with TTrick and then it dawned on me... what do you use in order to try to skip unread text? For PC, it's the CTRL key. Not sure what you'd use for Steam Deck.

It was this button between the Digital and the left Analog.

Feeling lied, I've been waiting for new content, at least a little bit, in Ann's hate and Joe is a rival(Essentially we just got a small text update with the pictures already in the game and before that), but in fact only got one new and small scene with Jenny. So the update is all about the release on Steam. In my personal opinion, it would be better if the time that was spent on music would have gone to new content, the Achievements in Steam is certainly good, but no more.

I really hope we get more content than usual in the next new and soon updates....

Not sure if you meant another word here, but you definitely weren't lied to. His updates on Patreon/SubscribeStar have indicated for a while what this would be.

And I've seen those posts leaked here, so even if you weren't a subscriber during those times, you'd have seen them if you're watching this thread.

Moving to Steam is a big deal and you should realize that even if you don't care about music, there are those who do. I don't know why... I personally mute most games unless they have an exceptional sound track. But people love that shit, so it was important in order to make a good first impression on new Steam players.

Not sure you'll get more content than usual, but as I mentioned in an earlier post, it will be back to business as usual once the fog has cleared around the Steam release.

Wait, so the version on Steam is this one and not the Ren'Py port?
Oh well...
I was hoping to buy it there, but I'm not a fan of non-Ren'Py ANVs..
Wish he had switched to Ren'Py before moving to Steam.

Well, yeah.. of course he's going to put his official version on Steam and not the Ren'Py port made by me, a third-party. You can support him in some way if you want and still keep playing the Ren'Py port.

haha lol I still never tried your version out only ever played the Dev's version Renpy or not doesn't matter all that much to me don't really notice much of a difference last I played at least within the engine. I'm sure there is a difference with some of your edits or corrections

Yeah, TTrick's engine is very much like Ren'Py. Mine has a lot of QoL features like built-in walkthrough, auto-read/like Insta posts, and more realistic dialogue regardless if Emily is your sister or not. But yeah, as far as custom engines go, TTrick's is really good.

So, to recap: the only new scene we have is one with Jenny? Is there NOTHING of new content in the rival/hate branches? That sucks, ngl. And what about the previously missing sex-scenes that would be featured in a future update? Are they in, at least?

It's been said a few times what's been added.

It will have a new scene with Jenny and the Ann Hate and Joe Rival routes will be able to finally access version 0.9 content. It also includes missing animations for Ann motel scene.

Hadn't checked in on this game in a while, and I didn't know about those improvements, I thought there was little to no change, but now I'm inclined to try your version. Thank you for your efforts.
While we're on the subject, is there any reason he chose to use a custom engine of his own? Never used Ren'Py myself but from what people say here it seems to be really easy to code in.

 

[disaster007]

so is update worth playing or waiting for next update.......????

 

[SomeoneX22]

Will Steam version be updated at the same time as Patreon?

Btw it's still sad that Ann lost her bush even on love route

I've posted about it a few times in this thread, but it's basically that he wanted to use a programming language he used in his real life job. Ren'Py is quite easy and a very stable/well-developed engine, for sure.

Huh? They are both the same, you can see it's out on Patreon.

I will continue posting alpha/beta versions here, while the full versions will be available across all platforms.

Right now, but I wanted to know about further plans of dev. Some use this malicious practice of delayed releases on Steam to allegedly not hurt thier patrons.
