I've pushed on the Beta branch the "console update". Now there's a command line console in-game (press F6 to open it) which you could use to manipolate doors and spawn items. The console backbone is there and is working, but there are few commands implemented. Another notable thing is that the console is fully moddable. You can write you own customized commands in c# and feed them to the modding engine for them to be used in the console. This way it will be possible to create mods expanding the console capabilities and such things. I will implements new commands as i see fit, and as i get the time, and i would like to hear from you which commands you feel could be most useful, so that i can work on them. Also if you write useful commands that you would like to see in the vanilla game for everyone to use just get in touch with me and we will see. As always, thanks everyone, and get in touch with me if you need further infos on how that works. I didn't manage to write a proper guide for it yet. But i will do asap. Happy Hard Times!

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.
