Redesigns and chapter 3 announcement-ish!

The Hayseed Knight
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Hey everyone! You might be wondering what I've been up to these uh, 6 months?

Well, for starters! If everything goes according to plan, chapter 3 should be ready somewhere late November-ish! Things hardly ever go according to plan but one can dream!

Secondly, I've been out going to cons and testing the target audience, and guess what? I found out that they really, REALLY didn't like Ader's design (people mistook this for a bara VN and moreover NSFW, so YEAH NOT THE INTENTION).

This coupled with my own personal feelings about him and how he didn't look like a deer, and his role in the story (remember how there's supposed to be a famine and Ader's starving and—) made me decide that a redesign was in order.

SO HERE'S ADER V4

AND SEP BADLY NEEDED TO LOOK LIKE A YOUNG GAZELLE INSTEAD OF SOME WINE MOM, SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ADER'S AGE D8

Here's a screenshot of these two idiots on twitter! Kind of a WIP for Sep's arms.

And another.

And yeah I think they look really nice now. The rest of  the characters will also get smaller updates to sort of match the improved 3/4 view, but most were already cartoony per se!

So that will be up soon-ish. Ishhhh. With some more changes in the UI and narration + some occasional bug fixes.

'Kay, see you around.
