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! 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 Chapters 1 and 2, 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!

  Come, traveler, and listen to the tale of Ader-sind of the Upperfield, the greatest knight the kingdom has ever known! The bravest! The most handsome! The... yeah, no, let's try this again.
