What's next for HardenvilleThank you!
We'd like to express our heartfelt gratitude for your support and interest in our passion project, Hardenville.
We've always planned for the Prologue to be a short introduction to introduce players to the characters in Hardenville. A total of 10 chapters are planned, with the Prologue being the first and Episode 1 to 9 making up the remaining chapters. The Episodes will contain much more content and animations compared to the Prologue.
While we have noticed in reviews that some people find the Prologue too short, it was a deliberate decision to bring the game to Early Access on Steam with the first chapter. Typically, other visual novels don't do this until about mid-development cycle. We believed it was best to release the game early, gather feedback, and gain support to improve the game significantly. Our plans include translating the game into multiple languages, adding voice actresses at some point, expanding our team and much more.
At present, Hardenville is a solo endeavor led by Filip, a 25-year-old Norwegian developer.
The planned release schedule for Hardenville episodes is as follows:
- Hardenville Episode 1: Late December 2023 or early January 2024
- Hardenville Episode 2: Q1 2024
- Hardenville Episode 3: Q2 2024
- Hardenville Episode 4: Q3 2024
- Hardenville Episode 5: Q4 2024
- Hardenville Episode 6: Q1 2025
- Hardenville Episode 7: Q2 2025
- Hardenville Episode 8: Q3 2025
- Hardenville Episode 9: Q4 2025
Please be aware that the planned release dates are subject to change if we require additional time for development.
Freckles Upgrade
In our upcoming big release, Episode 1, we're making small adjustment to the freckles. It's not a major overhaul, just a change in color and a slight reduction in their intensity. These changes will only apply to Episode 1 and beyond, so there's no need to worry about us taking the time to redo all the renders in the Prologue.
