Developer posts and news about this game.
In short: added costumes that unlock through random events when you reach a decent popularity level, added a zoomable ID card, added the option to play your next run with the character you last completed the game as, added a new title screen.
Greetings game enjoyers, Today marks one of Loser's Romance's biggest updates yet. Keller the ginger holy roller is now befriendable/dateable. There are more music tracks, specifically ones that play during longer conversations. You now gain popularity levels, which change how so
Polished the UI and improved a few graphics. Tinkered with the store page. Added the option to randomize your character if you choose the quickstart ("skip intro") after your first playthrough. Now you can jump right back in for another run.
This month brings an entire new friendship/romance option. That's Carrie Farr, your popularity-obsessed classmate and local donut clerk. Also, bugs have been fixed, artwork tweaked, and more variant lines added. Stay tuned for the next big updates, which should add another couple
Seeing as it looks like Steam is cracking down on AI stuff, I've removed the AI art rewards from Loser's Romance's gallery. I don't want to suddenly see the game delisted, so this seems like the right way to go. Tonight's update also adds more sound effects and indicators, plus Y
Today brings a new "Girl News" graphic and fanfare to announce progress updates at the start of each month, plus new gender and difficulty select screens and new costumes to unlock. I've also fixed a save bug which was graciously pointed out by user Salvor. Thanks, Salvor!
Animated indicators have been added for when you achieve a goal and gain metacurrency or unlock artwork. This should give a bigger dopamine hit than the text box that previously informed you of this stuff. Meanwhile, work continues on a much larger update...
Today, Loser's Romance gets "resistance bars." These are drained as you break down a new friend's defenses. As a quality of life update, they'll make it easier to gauge your progress. (They're basically health bars, but I don't want to make it sound like you're beating your new f
That's right, Loser's Romance now includes character classes. New games begin with you picking your two worst traits, which determine your dialogue options. These traits: CREEPER: Your vibe is "lives in a bus station bathroom and has non-fatally stabbed four people." DIM: You're
Hello again, Fake High Schoolers (still the official name for Loser's Romance players until someone- quite reasonably- objects). With tonight's unprecedented update, Loser's Romance is no longer just an elevated dating sim with light puzzle elements, but the world's best (only) r
Greetings Fake High Schoolers! (That's the new Official name for Loser's Romance players. Or not.) I've been working day in and out to add several huge new features and story paths: As of next update, you'll be able to earn scholar dollars (your school's fakey, neon reward money)
The store page for Loser's Romance has been updated with all new screenshots reflecting the new and improved backgrounds. As for the IN-GAME grocery store, it's stocking a new holiday item: a menorah, AKA the Jewish candle holder famously associated with Hanukkah. As always, ever
The senior portraits unlocked through each character's best ending have been touched up to look extra nice. A new mechanic now allows players to explore/date around more and still get a decent ending. If you reach one of the romantic interests' endgame (Character A), if another o
All backgrounds have been polished and refinished as line art, improving their look. A new, animated main menu has replaced the old, static one. More soon to come!
Wow! These characters I drew for self-promotion are SO excited to deliver some cool news. Hiko, an awesome Vtuber, has done a playthrough of Loser's Romance. If you're on the fence about buying LR, definitely check it out to see if the game clicks with your sense of humor: (Link
Now once you beat the game, you'll unlock a "skip intro" option. "Skip intro" mode cuts to the essential choice points during the first in-game month, which will fly by while still making sense narratively. With this quick way to jump in, replaying the game should feel a lot bett
A number of backgrounds have been enhanced and improved. More to come!
This mini-update adds an optional easier difficulty and improves controller support. As well as planning bigger content for the future, I'm currently working on implementing a fast forward mode, which will unlock once you beat the game once.
This week, we're adding: An animated background for the name entry and menu screens. Spruced up "student ID" and "Carrie" sprites. A couple new locations where you might see an event at school. Three new items in the store. Stay tuned for the next regular update as Loser's Romanc
Five new items have appeared at Cruller's Grocery. They'll enter the random rotation of purchasable items whenever you visit the store. As always, each item has a unique reaction from every character.
