Roses of Love
1.2.4.PATCH
1 Year of Roses Of Love!
Hello everyone!
Today marks exactly one year since the release of Roses Of Love on the Steam store, so I want to thank everyone who purchased the game; thank you for giving the game a small opportunity.
Below I will share some messages or announcements about the project.
Current Status of the Project
As stated on the page and in the Q&A section, the game is almost complete. The main route currently available in the game is fully finished. However, you might wonder: if it’s complete, what is the game missing? At the moment, the game does not have original art or original music.
Living in a country where finding a job is nearly impossible, I thought the best way to finance this project was to release it in early access. This would allow me to fund everything necessary to complete the game. However, this decision came with various challenges, especially in terms of marketing and attracting an audience.
While the main story is complete, that doesn’t stop me from working on additional content. I plan to develop an alternative story, but it will not be released until after the project's final version is published. This is because I also need to cover the costs of the DLC, which represent an additional expense. My plan is to write and gradually improve this alternative story until it reaches the quality I aim for before its release.
Given the current situation, I cannot provide exact dates or make concrete promises. I hope that sales improve by the end of 2025, which would allow me to release the final update in 2026. However, if sales are significantly better than expected earlier on, the final version might be released sometime in 2025. Ultimately, everything depends on how well the game performs commercially.
* Extra note: I also plan to rewrite Roses Of Love Star Princess including discarded ideas, scenes and characters, but this is just an idea for the future.
Official translations
The game was translated into American English and Japanese from Argentinian/Latino Spanish. You might find errors in the translations, so I encourage everyone to comment on parts that are poorly translated or unclear. The English translation was reviewed and translated by two non-native speakers of the language, while the Japanese version was created by me using my basic knowledge of the language, a dictionary, and internet searches to make it sound more natural. Therefore, it might contain many errors.
Achievements
The game includes achievements that can be unlocked during or at the end of the game. Some of these achievements serve as proof that you completed the game, and as you may have noticed, there's a hidden achievement! Yes, the game has a hidden achievement. To unlock it, you must enable the hidden mode using a combination of keys in the game's main menu.
Hidden Mode
This mode allows you to play the game with a lower resolution and a retro shader, emulating old visual novels. Since it’s the game’s anniversary, I’ll reveal how the key combination starts and ends. But first, I want to explain how the key combination is structured.
The combination starts with the "INSERT" key and ends with the "END" key. The "INSERT" key activates the game's detection of the combination.
The command to unlock it consists of 7 arrow key movements, excluding "INSERT" and "END," which are mandatory for the command to be recognized correctly. To make finding combinations easier, here’s a hint: INSERT + DOWN + DOWN + [???] + [???] + [???] + [???] + [???] + END . You’ll need to find 5 arrow key combinations to activate retro mode and unlock the hidden achievement.
ℹ️ The combination only works in the main menu.
Character reference design
Aren't they cute? It was really hard to decide on a design for each of the girls, but I managed to give them a final design for reference. The first character I designed was Hoshiko, and during these years her skin color or textures changed a lot. >.<)/
ℹ️ These 3D models will serve as a reference for the 2D designs of Roses Of Love. Information! (You are not allowed to use them as a profile picture or anywhere else!)
Upcoming updates
The next game update will be version 1.2.X_RE, planned to be the final version of the game, which will leave Early Access. This update will mainly bring the following:
- new background
- original music
- original character design
- CG implementation
Some special thanks

- Counil Gaming
- Suki (English Translator and proofreader)
- MaryzX18 (English Translator and proofreader)
- Bomba
- Tsuka

- Rodrelux

Many thanks to all those who supported this project for so long...
Finally, if you have any comments about the project or something to be taken into account you can leave your message here

Patch 1.2.3_EA
List of changes
- Fixed Native language
- Fixed language generation file
Patch 1.2.2_EA
List of changes
- All bg images was compressed to reduce their weight and optimize them.
- Fixed a small bug in the language change interface.
- Languages are now dynamic and are added to the list as long as they are available in the “translations/*” folder.
- Now people who want to create “fan translations” or “community translations” will be able to generate the translation files from within the game. (see questions and answers).
- Added support for downloading packages (translations etc) (see questions and answers).
- Some unused lines of code have been removed
- Upgraded the engine to R8.4-n (nightly version of the engine)
- Due to the engine update, the game can no longer run on versions later than windows 10. This will adjust the support for w10 & w11 and thus fully enforce the requirements placed on the Steam page.
- The “Load” button will appear in the main menu when there is a saved game in one of the page slots. However, it will not be visible if it is in quick save.
Q&A
> Can I create translations?
Yes, you can now create translations independent of the game. To generate a “translation kit” you must go to Settings -> language -> Generate translator kit.
Important: The translation reference will only be generated in Latin Spanish due to limitations.
> Can I freely share the translation?
Yes, as long as you are not receiving money in return or using it commercially also as you follow the EULA
> What do you mean by downloading packages?
This means that, if a translator wishes, he/she can request to have his/her fan translation added to the game. The translator will have to send the files and a nickname to be added to the game, the files will be hosted on the UnSetSoft server and then players will be able to download the translation from the game.
At the moment the option to download packages is disabled.
> Why was support for older versions of windows removed?
It is due to changes in the libraries that the game needs to run, on the other hand the Steam client requires at least windows 10 to run.
Roses Of Love prices change
However, losses are expected due to this adjustment in some regions. Steam take a 30% of sales, and each country imposes taxes. These price changes will result in minimal profits and even losses in this region. Nevertheless, implementing this price adjustment is necessary.
