Hi everyone!
I’ve been pretty absent from the forum, especially in the last few weeks, and I wanted to clear up a few things I’ve seen here lately. I can’t reply to everyone individually, so I’ll just give you a general update on the development of Hard Days.
Hard Days has never been in danger of being cancelled. Development is ongoing—sometimes problems come up, things go wrong, and progress slows down, but the project has always continued.
All the comments you’ve seen from Geko1711 or boulimanus regarding possible release dates or the state of development are completely honest. We’re in touch very often, and when they say something about the project, it’s because that’s genuinely the information they have at that moment. They’re always up to date on the game’s progress and regularly receive previews for translation to help speed things up. If anything they’ve said hasn’t come true, that’s on me—I was the one who didn’t meet the timelines I had told them. They’ve never shared anything that wasn’t true; the problem was that I gave them dates that I later failed to meet.
And just to be crystal clear: neither Bouli nor Geko get paid for the translation. They do it out of goodwill so you can have a better experience. And they don’t just translate—they help me with suggestions, feedback, corrections, inconsistencies, and so on. They also support me a lot on a personal level when things get complicated. I’ll never be able to thank them enough for everything they’re doing for me, so please, don’t let anyone question their good faith or transparency. If something doesn’t go as planned, the only one responsible is me.
On another note, yes, there were issues with this update, and my silence definitely didn’t help. But the storm has passed, and the new update is now finished and in the hands of Geko and Bouli. There will be news soon—here you’ll get version 0.5.0!
There’s something I always tell the people supporting the project on Patreon and SubscribeStar, and I’m not sure if I ever said it here: I’m not going to release anything I’m not happy with, even if that means losing support.
I make adult games to try to earn a living (and honestly, also because I enjoy making them
), like most devs I guess. But I really respect the support people give me, and I try to do my best so I can give that trust back in the form of a solid game. Some people will like it more, some less, but I’m not going to publish something half-baked just to meet deadlines or take anyone’s money. I’ve been very clear about that from the beginning, and that’s not going to change.
Anyway, now that that’s out of the way, here are a couple of preview renders of what’s coming in just a few days!
Cheers, everyone!
