Episode 5 - Release dates
Hello friends, we're finally getting there!
After a lot of hard work, I’m happy to announce the release dates for Episode 5 of Having a HARD Time.
Episode 5, titled Butterfly, will be playable soon. The release schedule is as follows:
Wednesday, August 20 – 10-day early access for Apatite (€25) tier and above.
Monday, August 25 – 5-day early access for Calcite (€10.50) tier and above.
Saturday, August 30 – Release for Gypsum (€5.50) tier, Steam, and Itch.io.
This will once again be the largest episode to date, with over 2200 renders and 115 animations, and more still in progress. As I’ve mentioned before, Episode 5 will not include any new weekend activity content, so all of this is focused entirely on the main story.
I still have a bit of work ahead, such as finishing the final main story scene, creating the secret scenes, adding some phone content, and doing plenty of testing and polishing. But I’m confident I’ll have it all ready in time.
Please note: Most translations will likely not be ready at launch but will be patched in once they’re complete.
That’s all for now, hope you’re looking forward to the next episode! I think it’s going to be a lot of fun. 😉
Cheers,
~ Quadruple-Q

its probably about time you address your fans in some fashion. 5 months no communication. sites are marking your game abandoned.
Episode 6 ?
It's been a couple of months now since any update or news. Is there a Ch.6 coming, or even being planned? Thanks for the work you have already shared with us. It was very entertaining and a great story on top of everything else. I do hope you keep up the great work.
Q said in a previous update that he was planning a 5.5 release before chapter 6. He also probably took a (deserved, imho) break as he's been silent for about a month or so.
This was peak. Best game I have played this year
Thanks a bundle to whomever it was that already leaked the new release to the share sites, you're a real pal! NOT!!
