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!

Hard Times is an extreme urban survival game where you have to put yourself into the shoes of a homeless man, taking on all the challenges that daily survival places in the great metropolis of indifference.
You will have to look into junk, beg for money, escape corrupt policemen and citizens maniac about decorum. You will feel hunger and cold. You will suffer in the long rainy nights and be glad when you can get a decent meal.
You will have to learn to build your own tools by yourself, craft and recycle objects to gain resources. You will make artifacts of all kinds, including furniture, work benchs, kitchens, beds, cardboard boxes, storage containers for your little treasures and much more.
You will probably have to give up your innocence to survive. Small thefts and looting will become a gesture of self-preservation, beyond any moral judgment. You will know the thrill of introducing into an abandoned property to take possession of it.
You can choose whether to become a squatter and build your base in the city, live in a homeless camp or move your stuff daily with a cart to sleep every night in a different place.
You will be hunting for rats and fishing radioactive fish to cook them in the live fire of an old rusty bin. You will contract illnesses, use drugs and experience on your skin as cold and indifferent the great metropolis can be for those who live Hard Times.
### 10% of all revenues created by this game will be donated to "L'alternativa Onlus" a charity ngo organization, active in homeless people support programs in the Ostia Lido (Rome - Italy) territory. ###
