Episode 4

Episode 4, titled ‘Smile’, will be playable on Saturday, October 19th. It will be available for free for anyone that owns Having a HARD Time on Itch.io.

There are a few reasons why it took a bit longer, one of which being that my PC died not too long ago (not to worry, it’s up and running again, and with upgraded parts), but the most important reason has to do with its size.

It ended up being the largest episode to date, as I’m writing this I have already surpassed the 2000 renders and 100 animations, which for me is a pretty crazy amount. For some perspective, this is more than double the size of the very first episode.

There are still several animations and a bunch of renders queued up, and I also have quite some work to do in the coming days, but it should all be done by the 19th.
