Status update - Episode 5

Having a HARD Time · published 26 Jun 2025, 18:50 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hi guys,

I've been working hard on the update! Right now, we’re at 1900+ renders and 113 animations, and I’m still rendering new scenes as we speak. I’m really happy with how the episode is shaping up, and I’m confident that by the time it’s fully done, it’ll be more than worth the wait.

I’m aiming for a release in August, but we’ll see how things go. I hope to have a firm release date for you all by the next update. For now… the grind continues!

🔹 Quick reminder: if you haven’t picked up Having a HARD Time yet, now’s a great opportunity — the Steam Summer Sale is live, and the game is currently 30% off.

Oh, and this little cutie wanted to say hi:

Thanks again for all your support, it means a lot.

All the best,

Quadruple-Q
