Hi everyone! Ivan's here. In this brand new update there are a number of juicy news regarding modding with the HTSA (Hard Times Scripting Api), particularly about creating new scriptable items in game which can add unforeseen radical changes to the game, further expanding modding support in game. Also I created a brand new mod on the Hard Times official mod repository on mod.io, to better explain how everything works. I will also add a new wiki article on the official wiki in the next days! But let's go in order and lets start with the usual awsome change list:
- Scriptable items After releasing the scriptable posters part the api in the last patch i am now releasing the scriptable items api. It's now possible for modders to write new classes, extending the BaseItem class to script new kind of behaviours for new items.
- The Magical Restful Staff mod I have created a tiny new mod package to show how to implement a new kind of item in game: a magical staff which has 20 uses and will replenish your stamina bar. Just an example to help people get started with it. You can download it from mod.io: https://hardtimes.mod.io/magical-restful-staff Check it out and get in touch with me if you need help or need more infos. I will write a guide on the official wiki in the next days.
- Fixed the language changing mechanism I took some time to fix up the language changing mechanism. So now switching language from the options panel of the main menu (you can't change language from the in game options, only from the main menu). So now switching language correctly updates all the labels in the scene, without the problems experienced before, when you had to change scene for all changes to be properly rendered.
- Fixed a bug with proxy sprites There was a bug lurking in the game items loading code which prevented proxy sprites to be properly loaded when they had a different name from the main item sprite. This unbearable problem has been dealt with with decision and compassion. It should not bother anyone anymore.
- The search for broken labels I managed to find and purge more broken language labels for the italian localization. The hunt is still going on tough.
- Rebalanced taming values for all pets All pets in game now have a more properly balanced tame value (which is set in the Vanilla files). Now any kind of pet has a different value. You can still mod them as you see fit anyway.

- Hard Times Linux [447.62 M]
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. ###
