Dev Log #2 | Episode 1
Progress on Episode 1
We're happy with the progress made so far for the upcoming major release of Hardenville, which is Episode 1. Renders are currently in full production, but we're waiting to create the animations closer to the finish line of this Episode.
Changes in Episode 1
There will be some changes in Episode 1 compared to The Prologue, including better-looking freckles and new genitalia for both the main character (MC) and the female characters. These new genitalia will bring more realism and increased customization options, which is fantastic.
Release Update for Episode 1
Initially, we had mentioned that Episode 1 was expected to arrive in late December or early January. However, due to the need for additional weeks to address feedback from The Prologue and (me, the dev) having been sick with Covid for a week, a December release might not be realistic at this point. Therefore, it's more likely to be released sometime in January, although it's still too early to confirm these changes.
Future Episodes and Full-time Work
Episode 1 is anticipated to be at least twice the size of The Prologue, and we're estimate needing about 2-4 months between each subsequent Episode. It's also becoming apparent that after the release of Episode 1, I (dev) will be able to work full-time on Hardenville, making it my primary job. This achievement is all thanks to the support on platforms like Steam, Patreon, SubscriberStar, and Itch.io! Hooray!
Monthly Render Winner and Christmas Theme
Each month, we showcase one Monthly Render split into three different versions featuring a character exclusively on Patreon and SubscriberStar.
We offer five unique tiers:
- Library Card Member | $1 / Month

These renders showcase the character in full clothing (Library), solely in underwear (Bronze), and completely nude (Gold).
In the polls conducted on both Patreon and SubscriberStar for the Monthly Render in December, Jasmine emerged as the winner! The Monthly Render featuring a special Christmas theme starring her is now available.
