ようこそ to The Hayseed Knight 1.6!

Welcome, everyone, to The Hayseed Knight v 1.6!

It's been a long time of radio silence (longer yet if you don't follow me on twitter or patreon), trying to find time to work little by little on a million different bits and pieces - all while fighting my failing health.

This update is the product of a year and a half of work, and it is a TON!  Even though the full version is only available on Steam at the moment, I really want you to know the game has never looked or sounded as amazing as it does now.

1.6 is a huge update that brings:

- New designs for every other character, and makeovers for the rest! I wanted their sprites to shine. No more crusty old raggy "Merchant" - it's Mr. Pertok, now!

- Updated CGs to reflect the changes!

- 100% revamped GUI! And if you preferred the slightly clunky, more legible version, you can go back to it in the Accessibility Menu!

- New original music tracks, courtesy of Emilio Villalba - a historic musician!

- All new encyclopaedia entries! No more asking me who's Djao, YOU CAN JUST GO READ THAT NOW!

- SFX. That's it. Things make noise now.

- An all new Japanese translation for this demo, courtesy of Shion Otsuka!

- Content Warnings for the game at large and the diary, specifically!

- More quality of life improvements I'm forgetting!

- Rewritten stuff here and there!

- God that's a lot

To sum it up: v 1.6 will lay the groundwork for chapter 4, hopefully arriving in December 2022!

(At the time of writing, that's six months of extreme hopefulness. For reference, I had to delay this update two weeks because I got kidney stones right as I was about to release :,) )

I hope you're all as excited about what's next in store for Ader, Sep, Eina and the crew as I am! I'll continue bringing you my A game every time to give you the best story I can.

I hope you have a wonderful day! See you soon!
