Hardenville Episode 2 | Early 2025

Episode 2 is set to not only be the best release yet but also the one with the most content, the most lewd moments, the most romance, the best vibes, and the most wild, drunken fun so far.

As mentioned before, Episode 2 is crucial for the future of Hardenville and its continued progress. It is essential to justify the time and resources being invested in this project, which is why I must tread carefully and ensure its release is in the best possible condition.

I fully understand that the initial reaction to Episode 2 being scheduled for an early 2025 release might be one of disappointment. However, I encourage you to stay optimistic and trust that the extra time is being used to immerse you deeply in the story with high-quality renders, captivating writing, and atmospheric sound design. If I didn’t care deeply about making Hardenville the best it can be, I could have opted to release a shorter, unfinished, or "cheap" version of Episode 2—but nobody wants that. There are already many great AVNs out there, and my hope is for Hardenville to stand proudly among them someday.

On a positive note, I’m happy to announce that a small update for Episode 1 (Version 0.2.4) will be releasing soon. The entire script has been professionally proofread by an English expert, ensuring a smoother and more enjoyable reading experience. Moving forward, Episode 2 (Version 0.3.0) and all future updates will also undergo thorough proofreading to maintain high-quality storytelling and reduce any interruptions to your immersion in Hardenville.

Hardenville | Poll on Branches and Gameplay

I’ve seen your comments and questions regarding the previous post about branches, and I’d like to get a clearer understanding of what you prefer—and whether you want branches at all. It’s crucial for me to create a game that meets your expectations, especially given our current position where we can’t afford significant missteps.

Our original plan was to make Hardenville somewhat realistic, where players occasionally have to make choices because certain branches occur simultaneously. However, if the majority prefers a different approach, it’s better for us to adjust our plans now rather than later.

Please share your thoughts and vote for your preferred option below. Feel free to comment with additional suggestions or ideas!
