Hello everyone! I'm Ivan, and I'm the developer at work on Hard Times. While I am posting this announcement I am working on the last iterations before the launch in Early Access, later in September, something that makes me very nervous and excited, since this is my first big project being published in a store!! I look forward to starting to interact with the community to get feedback, suggestions and ideas on how to further develop the game. I am also anxious to see the modding engine in action and hopefully see many people create and have fun with it (there is also an official wiki I'm working on, with tutorials on modding and more). Just remember that this is a solo dev project, carried out by me alone and in my spare time, after my day job! In any case, the game has been in development for about three years now, and has had the opportunity to showcase around and be known a little, within the Italian Indie scene. It received some good covering on the italian gaming press and was selected as "Indie Prize Finalist" to participate in the showcase to be held at the GameDaily Connect in Los Angeles in August 2019. All this is a source of great happiness and satisfaction for me and so I have nothing else to do but continue to do my best until September, "Waiting for the Great Leap Forward!" NB: The game is in closed Alpha now, being played by just a handful of players. If you want to know when the game will be available for early access be sure to whishlist it now! Finally, feel free to get in contact with me to ask whatever you want to ask or just to say hello!
