Hi all!
It took a little longer than I wanted, but we're almost there!
Episode 4, titled "Smile", will be available to play on Saturday, October 19th. It will be available for free, via a patch, to everyone who owns the game Having a HARD Time on Steam.
There are a few reasons why it took a little longer, one of which is that my computer died not too long ago (don't worry, it's working again, and with updated parts), but the most important reason has to do with its size.
This turned out to be the biggest episode to date, and at the time of writing I've already passed the 2000 renders and 100 animations mark, which is a pretty insane number for me. To put that into perspective, that's more than double the length of the very first episode.
There are still a few more animations and a bunch of renders in the pipeline, and I still have a lot of work to do in the coming days, but everything should be ready by the 19th.
Please note that not all translations may be ready by the time of release. At the moment, “Having a HARD Time” has already been translated/translated into 12 languages, which is crazy. Some languages will be ready before others, it just depends on the speed of translation. In any case, translations for Episode 4 will be posted as soon as they are ready (if they are not already available on release day).
Either way, I can't wait for you all to enjoy what I've been working on for the last few months!
Have a great weekend and please stay tuned for a fun new episode!
