Hi everybody, Ivan's here. I just pushed out a small patch addressing a problem existing in the weather system which caused some players to end up in a loop of ever raining weather which was very hard to break out from. I should have corrected the issue and now the weather in game should be way more balanced. Also remember that the weather system is fully moddable via the WeatherDescriptor.json, so creating new weather scenarios (icy polar or hot equatorial towns for example) is possible via modding. Check out the wiki: https://wiki.tempi-duri.net/doku.php?id=starting_modding And the mods repository: https://hardtimes.mod.io/ For some guides and examples about how to do it! Finally I would like to express my gratitude to XCoder for his support and problems reporting, and also for his patience about me working on the project in my free time and after my day job. Thanks to everyone who is supporting the game, this is a free game and a passion project and your help and support is the fuel that makes me go on developing and fixing it. Bye!!! iv.

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.
