Hey everyone! Welcome once more to: episodic releases and the fear they instill within my very soul. If you've ever had a project that ran on updates, you know what that's like the fear of keeping people waiting. The "oh no, what if I run out of energy", "this writing sucks, what am I even doing" and who can forget the eternal "am I allowed to take so much as a break?" To everyone's surprise, and mine's first of all... Chapter 5 is pretty nearly written by now! Far, FAR faster than I expected. You may have realized that, perhaps, slicing the original plan for chapter 4 in half and having nearly 20k words written by your past self would help in the process. If you did, you're a bit sharper than me, and I'm proud of you. Be that as it may, I'm now sitting on the 50k+ word count for chapter 5 (I don't know what it is about that number but this keeps happening to me somehow) and facing three incredible facts:

• There's a new casting call on the way for the remaining characters
• I'm maybe two months away from recording this script (would be one, but I'll be in Japan in April making business contacts!)
• I only have two months to save for the voice acting

• A grand, mysterious tale

  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.
  
  

• Choose Ader's fate

  Take care as you play, because your decisions throughout Ader's tale will ultimately impact his relationships and decide the outcome of his story.
  
  

• Fully voice acted and bursting with charisma

  Every character you meet on your journey through Acazhor is fully voiced and overflowing with personality. Dodge prying questions from an enigmatic sorceress, avoid the ire of your grumpy boss, scrape funds together for your next meal with a tone-deaf bard, engage in philosophical conversation with a giant tree man and more.
  
  

• Beautiful illustration and animation

  Closer to a cartoon than simply a visual novel, every scene in The Hayseed Knight is hand drawn and lovingly animated to truly bring the characters and world to life.
  
  

• Passion project

  Created primarily by one dedicated person over the last three years, The Hayseed Knight is a work of love and truly reflects the heart and soul poured into it.
  
  

• Unique Fantasy World

  With deep lore and a history all of its own, the world of The Hayseed Knight extends much farther than this story and is ready for you to dive into using the in-game encyclopedia.
