The Hayseed Knight is a plot driven fantasy comedy visual novel created by a single person that follows the adventures of Ader, a one-eyed buck, while he desperately tries to stay on track to fulfill his dream: becoming a knight! But he's a peasant.


What were the reasons driving those changes?

I understand that to date you’ve changed the art style four times. I think it’s safe to say that this has been a fairly long-running project. I really like working with people who aren’t running all the time, so I’d like to stay indie for the time being if my funds allow it.Īs you mentioned, your main project currently is The Hayseed Knight, a visual novel starring anthropomorphic animals with a deer as the main character. In the indie scene, I always feel like everything I do has a lot more impact, despite having a lot less reach. Both my mistakes and my great moments generally went unnoticed, so I felt no pressure to be anything but average within the quality they expected of me. Working for major companies, I always felt like just another cog in the pipeline, like I had no importance. I’ve been a freelancer for both AAA and indie studios, and the only thing that changes in the end-other than the paid sums, generally-is the way they make you feel. Sometimes it’s not all that different, to be honest. Are you looking to return to that in the future or are you planning to stick to the independent life for a while? You’ve fulfilled a lot of different roles over your career, including for some major companies. On that tangent, The Hayseed Knight is mostly an attempt at using this ragtag bunch of skills I’ve gathered over my years as a go-getter to make a VN I would enjoy, and to see if I would be able to complete a project working all on my own as I’d always dreamed of. So, whilst I have provided a list below of the games that excited me most at the Xbox One X conference, it’s good to bear in mind that these are ‘Launch “exclusives”‘ aka we just got to announce the game, or ‘Timed exclusives’ meaning that they will be quickly available on other consoles, if they not immediately.Ĭontinue reading “What I’m most excited about at E3 2017: Xbox Conference” → Tagged anthem, assassins creed, assassins creed origins, bioware, desinty, e3, e3 2017, female representation, horizon: zero dawn, life is strange, life is strange before the storm, mass effect: andromeda, metro 20133, metro exodus, metro redux, ori and the blind forest, ori and the will of the wisps, ps4, ubisoft, xbox, xbox one x 2 Comments Follow Red Rocket Panda on WordPress.The Hayseed Knight: Ader-vision (w/ logo). Whilst I admire (and snark on) their enthusiasm and release of a diverse array of Xbox “exclusives” which suit a wide range of audiences, there is nothing in there makes me gasp and go “I must immediately sell everything I own to get me the new Xbox One X console”. Anyone who knows me will know that I am not a massive fan of Xbox, and their presentation at E3 did nothing to change that, even with their announcement of their new Xbox One X console which they dub “the most powerful console in the world”.
