I've also seen it around. I think I first saw the sand blog posts. It was a really nice effect. I love when people put that much effort into details. Art style - A+. On the gameplay side it also fits into my interests. So, looking forward to it!
Main character in our game is of a similar persuasion. Though he's headbanger first, he has some redneck blood in him. We should make a crossover episode "Redneck vs. Headbanger" ;)
Best of luck with the game!
