If the grind is any indication then you're gonna bust your nut "The Hard Way".

This looks grindy. I'm here to play a game, not go to work.
It actually does a good job of showing you what the plan is and introducing a lot of female characters and locations. Very impressed for a basic early layout, and very fair of the dev to label it as just a demo. I think it gives the player a great idea of whether they want to follow the project or not, without putting a lot of time into it. For me, I'm hugely interested.
According to a review on Biome, dev planned to redo that one in Unity, but both reviews basically said it's too grindy, not enough content, and too many bugs. At this point considering they're starting a new game, it kinda sounds like that one is headed for the dumpster or at least taking a backseat, and this one would become their main project.

hunger + hygene + sleep + style + strength + humour + speed + endurance + charisma + wit + karma + charity + money

The pre-alpha version of The Hard Way was never intended to be publicly released. It was only released to show our patrons what we were working on.
Biome has been abandoned and will be replaced with The Long Way, in about 2 months time.
All stats in The Hard Way are capped at 100; and in a game spanning half a century, you won't need to specifically work on them. The stats are not intended to be grindy at all. Almost all stats and skills will be gained through events. In the alpha version, karma will have a fun reset at the gym wellness center.
When it comes to the girls, though all of them can be pursued, there is only 1 that you will be forced to include in your harem - needed for the storyline of The Long Way. The others may be included or excluded at your own discretion.
The alpha version of The Hard Way, (about 2 weeks from Patreon release) will have about 50 characters and over 50 locations. It will include the initial investigation system and at least 1 sex scene for the MC. It will also include the first age adjustment.
Unfortunately, there are some people who just can't wait for us to release the free versions of games and take it upon themselves to release them for us. The version on this thread, for instance, was not uploaded by our team.

No not yet. And there aren't any sex scenes yet regardless. Its an introduction to what it will become.

Another "We have over 30 characters that will never get the time to be fleshed out or finished routes"
And if they abandoned a project to do this they're likely to do it with this.
My rule with all of these games is wait and see if they make it to 0.07, or 7 months of "development" (aka posing daz models with a half assed story) because so many of these things are abandoned within or at that amount time and with SO MANY characters, the dev will get overwhelmed more than likely.

The Hard Way = The Never Ending Story
imo waaaaay to ambitious ... over 50 chars and an huge amount of locations ... massive stats to grind ... carefully estimation with monthly (?) updates and covering 2-3 chars each update I would say 2 years at minimum ... IF he doesnt abandon it half way trough ... didnt even finished his first game with less chars and locations and longer than monthly updates ...
But I like to be surprised ... Let's see how long his breath lasts

Way too many stats and then you have to figure in hunger, hygiene, and sleep? Nope. Way too much work.

My version of the MC works as a handyman at the high school but doesn't seem to earn money. Is this a bug or am I missing something? Thanks.
