Version 0.4 build 12 (initial Ren'Py port release)
Includes all story content through the end of v0.4 of official game (Events after Joe's birthday party at the pub)
Replay Gallery
Android port
Content from v0.8 of the official game that was added to earlier content (such as the changes to Vanessa's photos on Joe's phone)

I started this Ren'Py port of Long Story Short mid-February 2022, with TTrick's full support. My goal was to learn Ren'Py, which I feel I've accomplished. I do this in my spare time out of love for the game. With the initial release here, I plan to release as I complete each version of content until I catch up to the official game's content.

Versioning: The Ren'Py port will have the version number that matches the content available for that version from the official game. The build number indicates any changes I make to the Ren'Py port, whether it's new content, bug fixes, or improvements that are not relevant to the official game.
