Almost there, ALMOST THERE!

Hey everyone! Life's gotten in the way an awful lot this month, but we're already recording Ader's new voice acting courtesy of Stanpai aka  @TheManlyStanley  and I'm editing the audio for the first chapter as we speak! Recording today chapter 2's, and then everything will be ready for release!

The translations will probably have to wait a little bit more :,>

v4 delayed until November (and other news)

Hey everyone! All the new and old remade art has been ready for a couple of weeks now, but v4 is getting delayed until the first week of November because:

1) I've been messing with some New Dialogue Improvements™ to make Ader feel like... you know. A hick. What he was supposed to be? Yeah. Basically making him sound the way he sounds in Spanish, as I never intended to make him come off dumb as a rock in English. I just... didn't know how to write him better back then :,>  

2) A...

Almost done remaking the art!

I'm almost done, y'all! Just one more CG to go and the new voice acting for Ader (if you didn't recall, his VA got recast all the way back in March and I was waiting to finish all the new art to add it!)


In the meantime, here's a couple of finished CGs. I'm more active on twitter! https://twitter.com/SandraMJdev

New cover for The Hayseed Knight

Hey everyone! Still working on updating all that art! I'm currently updating CGs and I should have at least a small aesthetic update soon <3

In the meantime, here's the finished cover for THKv4, with the new logo as well as you can see! I feel both capture a lot better what the story is about, haha.

Thanks a lot for your support, everyone!

Eina v4 update

Eina v4 (left) vs Eina v3 (right). Eina was the most recent sprite I updated all the way back in January, so hers needed the least redesigning and stuff! 

Her arms are kind of meh but she's fairly short and you can't see them here so EH.

Chapter 3 announcement + redesigns

Hi sorry for always being so quiet here, I find Patreon and devlogs in general really imposing AND would much rather ramble endlessly on twitter.

SO ABOUT THAT CHAPTER 3

If everything goes according to plan, chapter 3 should be ready somewhere late November-ish! Things hardly ever go according to plan but one can dream!

 SO SO SO! REDESIGNS AND STUFF. 

I'll make a separate post detailing and compiling in a single place everything th...

Jasif introduction WIPs

As the narrative for the game is getting a rework to better fit the concept of learning the truth of a story with multiple versions, I thought that we could use some character introductions 8D

I'll upload another post exclusively for patrons with the full size images for wallpapers!

Ader redesign sketches + Rewards Reminder

This boy definitely needs to be taller. But yeah! Ader has changed quite a lot! I figured that his previous design wasn't very good for the story progression (and... certainly not precisely appealing towards people outside a vvvveeerrrry specific demographic) so... welcome noodle boy!
About Sep, I've been taking belly dancing lessons, and I feel they've really helped nail her body language down! LOOK AT...

New $100 Reward Tier!

Patreon Rewards for November!

Hey everyone! If you haven't asked for your rewards this November, don't forget to do so!

This is the last month that I'm going to be offering artistic rewards, I think. I'm always super busy with the VN, and with my wrist as it is I don't believe I'll be able to offer more than what is already available in twitter or in the game itself.

In December I'll rework the reward system, so I'll reboot everyone's contribution then so you guys don't pay for something you don't want! I was thinkin...

Trying out im.Composite

Eina all made up of sprites vs single png Ader, fight!


...Now for real, I do wonder how I should do it. Maybe I should just focus on translating the writing to charge ahead, haha
