- Random events, world generation, personal traits - 29 April 2019
Good day everyone! Pirozhok Studio is in touch. Today's patch affects the late game. Many players told us there was nothing left to do after beating the nords and the necromancer. Well, the time has come to change it. Random events. I've done a great work on new random events, which may happen with your settlement in the late game. First event that I proudly present to you is the undead scourge. All the world plunges into chaos and destruction during the event: Weather. The sun is shrouded by the plague fumes that rise from the ground, and at night the bloodmoon shines: https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F10693494%2F323981e56da1b49d402071a55e34fc73aad35451.png https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F10693494%2F6858cf0fdaa78e607af9f31e4703a4246aa4659b.jpg Invasion of the undead.

I'm happy to announce that it will come out in the next few days. Important changes were made in sound design - there will be two new soundtracks and a plethora of new sound effects - 4 per weapon/armor type. So, I'm proud to introduce you to the new nordern raiders theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TyK3kV-_35g This theme was heavily inspired with the northern folklore and culture. Vocal and drums are widely used in the Scandinavian music, so we used them in this soundtrack to make it sound authentic. It took a lot of effort to study the subject and compose this theme, so feel free to share your opinion, as it really helps Life is Hard to get better! P.S. This art is to become a cornerstone of…
- New world map, shields and weapons - 10 March 2019
Hello everyone! Pirozhok Studio is here. I'm glad to announce new mechanics for today's update. There are so many of them that I could hardly find where to start. Gameplay changes: First of all, world map was changed. Eastern Kingdom, Islands and naga were removed from the game. World map looks like that now: https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F10693494%2F2b8b0867db7f09c97df06a78e7508a6be6ebd4cf.png Nord location's appearance was also changed - now it's a rocky sea shore: https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F10693494%2Fafe97e09245ba7d69afd4255f21283fe77635233.png https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F10693494%2F5ce0bb60cae916f29e017fbf39e50c6209d220df.png Different difficulty levels were finally implemented. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F10693494%2F47843997b96fc8b7c8104%25E2%2580%25A6
- Announcing new patch & plans for the future - 20 December 2018
Hello, ladies and fellas! It's been a long time since I wrote a post on Steam - much was changing in my life, so I had time only to support the project and fix the bugs you found. However, I'm in charge again, and I'm glad to announce some new features & mechanics for the next patch: UPD: it's not out yet, this post is just an announce! First of all, money is finally going to appear in Life is Hard. A player will be able to construct a new building - market - that attracts merchants and caravans from all over the tiny world. They will buy goods from your minions and pay with gold! https://pp.userapi.com/c847018/v847018210/152120/HeCZnjuRKxU.jpg Hiring mercenaries, monks, jesters etc. will require money from now on. No more barter! Secondly, mages will stand by your side. You'll be able to hire new units at the mage's tower. Seems legit, doesn't it? Mages are equipped with light armor &…

- Still Alive. - 29 July 2018
Greetings! After a long pause caused by an absence of money we are ready to continue our development. Let’s start with a report about work we done. Recently we’ve added feudal villages, which can be built after reaching a certain level of a development. Agricultural, industrial, mining or blacksmithing villages can be founded. They will share some of their resources with a player once in a while. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F10693494%2Fa685cacbe30edba3412d80536e04f0beb1e33deb.jpg In-game's fauna was also extended by adding birds, which tend to fly away to warm countries late summer. We hope it'll help to create the atmosphere of a passing summer. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F10693494%2F21c904afef4ac0ef9ffe6503a94bbbd146492e52.jpg Talking about in-game mechanics and controls, now you can switch between soldiers with…
- Unique spells and plans. - 17 March 2018
Hello! Life is Hard devs are on (the) line. As a minor patch, we've introduced unique spells for each god instead of "hand of vitality". This is how they look like now: What would you like to see in Life is Hard? We've been thinking for a while about adding more wandering traders/caravans with different tools/improvements to sell, but we're unsure if this is what our game needs right now. Please respond thoughtfully, as it's very important for the game's further development

- Villages' conquest. - 11 March 2018
Hello, dear members of our community! The developers of "Life is Hard" are on line. It's been almost 3 months since the last documented update, and we think that it's time to shed a light on everything that happens behind the scenes of our production plant. About what we have done Yesterday we've pushed the last update before a big work we're going to do (written about it below), which contains significant updates of villages, balance and the final of the game. We came to agreement that the real world is seemed being alive just because it can exist without any player's interactions. In our game the world requires constant interactions. It was decided to add some neutral villages, which are located between the player's village and nords' lands. A real race has now been started between nords and player: to conquer every village. After a village capture, its inhabitants will fight on the s…

Game's logo is not as important as it's content and amount of bugs, but it represents the game. That's why I decided that a new brighter logo would be a good idea. What do you think about it?
