The Hayseed Knight (Recast)

The Hayseed Knight (Recast)

Project Overview

The Hayseed Knight is an indie visual novel that follows the adventures of Ader, the one eyed deer, while he desperately tries to stay on track to fulfill his dream: becoming a knight. On a meta sense, the player is The Narrator, a character hellbent on finding out what truly happened to Ader and his friends, who are little more than legendary characters at this point.

Currently working on Chapter 2 out of the first three that will constitute Act 1, a free demo intended to garner attention in patreon . Planning to move to steam in the next months. From Act 2 onward, the game will be commercial.


Currently recasting the main character. The auditions will last two weeks, and then we'll be working together for the next month to get a feel for the character and deliver the lines before moving on to chapter 3.
Extras will be paid 1$ a line for a minimum of 10$.
All main/secondary characters will be paid 2$ a line for a minimum of 10$ as well.

  • A note in regards to accents

    Good day everyone! I wanted to make a quick clarification! In regards to Ader's auditions: when I said that I didn't want southern= rural, I meant that I wanted people to NOT pretend they're southern. If that's your natural accent, I want to hear it! I want to hear any and all of your accents, they are a huge part of your background and I think that brings a lot of flavor to acting! I'm a country bumpkin myself, and I've met many folks that tend to be rather distasteful with accents, boiling them down to generalizations, and "hillbilly" takes, so I'd rather avoid that. Thank you very much for your time and attention!
  • Reminder about audio quality

    Hey, everyone! I 'd like to make a little petition, if possible — record the audition with the mic you're going to use to record the lines. As mentioned in the character description, audio quality is a MUST, and if you can't prove you have a good set up and know how to record without echo, background noise and plosives, you won't be considered for the role (as much as it wounds me). Thank you very much for your time and auditions!

Ader is one of the protagonists and the title character of The Hayseed Knight. He's 22 years old at the start of the story and every range of voice and accent is welcome, though I'd rather avoid the typical idea that southern=rural. 

Discord needed to live direct, audio quality is a must. The pay is 2$/line for the whole project, now redubbing the first two chapters since I need to recast the previous VA. There will be more lines to come in future chapters!

Ader is a gentle giant hailing from a farming village far away from the steppes, now turned smith apprentice in the city. His most defining characteristic is his incessant need to try his best to please everyone, always one to stick his nose in others' business... while refusing to ever talk about the reasons that brought him to the city or what happened to his missing eye. He's always in a rush and prone to talking at light speed when he gets nervous, all while struggling to keep his accent in check so others won't make fun of him.

He usually sounds very sweet and non-threatening, but with a big voice that makes him sound rural. He's incapable of ever standing up for himself... but oh Three help you if you mess with his friends.

Being the clumsy one-eyed walking mountain he is, he's prone to apologizing for every little thing. He's bad with words too, and his tiny horns make getting the attention of any doe impossible, only making his insecurities bigger in exchange. He's very rural in his manners, and has a tendency to talk instead of thinking.

PS. He yells QUITE a lot.

    I-I'm so sorry, Missus, I didn't mean... I mean I meant that but... I keep forgettin' that this ain't my town andIlegrabsaysthatIshouldn'tsaythingstogirlsand...

  • (quiet anger, building up to fury) (Bhaitat= BYE-taht)

    You can call her my boss, you can call her my friend, there's a zillion things you can call'er 'cause she's all that 'n' more... BUT BHAITAT HELP YOU IF YOU CALL HER MY GOLEM AGAIN!

  • (feeling unjustly accused, accent slipping completely)

    How was I supposed to know that that asshole sonuva beast was lord of whatever?!
