Turns out there WAS some stuff worth fixing after all! Enough to make me stop my vacations for a little bit, at least.
- Fixed a game-crashing bug that occurred exclusively in the Diary in chapter 3 when going from teen Sep memories to adult Sep memories (because you're not supposed to do a character makeover 4 hours before a major release)
Hopefully that'll be all! Please, update the game to the latest version, and do let me know if you find anything else!
Have a wonderful weekend!
v1.6 Day 1 Patch (not even an actual patch)
Messed up a little folder thing because I was tired yesterday and accidentally made it so the .exe for the full game couldn't be opened through the launcher directly.
It should be fixed now with the update, but if it doesn't immediately work, please, restart steam and try again!
Thank you for your patience!!
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! 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.
