Hi everyone!
Mi name is Maxi Molina or SandraMJ, and I'm the creator and solo dev behind The Hayseed Knight.
The Hayseed Knight is a fully voice-acted, episodic indie visual novel where a ragtag bunch of misfits take turns telling the tale of Ader, a one-eyed farmboy with dreams as big as his hands and pockets as empty as his head, as he stumbles his way into knighthood.
The game so far (up to chapter 3) is currently available on steam. You can also play the free demo there! I'm aiming to have chapter 4 released by December. Fingers crossed.

Characters:
Berbiz (BEHR-bith)
RECAST
Age: late 20s, early 30s
Pronouns: he/him
Voice type: mid-high. Usually serious and composed, but very energetic when excited about something. Can be a bit of a fast talker.
Accent: While any accent is welcome, I'm imagining Northern English, Posh English, Posh American or Transatlantic.
Volume of lines: ~60 lines for now (returning)
Visual Reference:
Description: "Lord Berbiz is—he believes—an ally of the common-folk. He is, in fact, rather convinced of this, in spite of his newly inherited status as lord of an old duchy and the extreme distaste his half-brother holds for the lot of them. He may even be! It's hard to tell, because no one would stay more than a couple of minutes around him if they had the choice to avoid the meeting.
This recent graduate, filled with nothing but good intentions and doubly full of himself, will preach to you whether you know the entire sermon or not; he will tell you the water is cold when you're swimming in ice, and that it's boiling when you're neck deep in the pot.
Friend or foe… he can be denser than lead, is what I'm getting at."
Note: the original voice actor had to drop the project due to a time conflict. I ask that you don't try to imitate his original acting, but rather bring your own to the table.
Audition Lines:
1. (introducing himself, distracted by an automaton) "You may call me Berbiz, if you must spend your breath discussing anything other than this beauty! Look at that skin, porcelain could never be this pearly!"
2. (proclaiming something intensely, after he has been accidentally insulted) "Worry not, friend! Truly, it is not the individual to be blamed, but a society that places unnecessary emphasis on weaponry and traditions from an age of intellectual darkness!"
3. (condescending) "A-hem. If your eyesight is as bad as I suspect it is, perhaps you should consider acquiring a monocle, friend. Or a relaxing cup of hemlock tea. Both of which would do you much good."
Tohkme (TOHK-meh)
Age: late 30s, early 40s
Pronouns: he/him
Orientation: Gay. Only open to MLM folk. I'm not the queer identity police--if you feel that describes you, go ahead!
Voice type: mid-low, gruff. Stoic. Low-brow in his way of talking.
Accent: Any accent welcome. Please, don't put on an accent if it's not directly related to you/your background.
Volume of lines: ~15 lines
Visual Reference: (the sprite will be drawn based on the cast person's performance, but I'm picturing a bear-type)
Deep down, however... he is exactly the same person, but lamenting his lack of a man to love, as the stable dating pool is not very large for a ruffian.
Audition Lines:
1. (Cackling) "If I'd known you were going to turn out like this, I woulda cut ya some slack!"
2. (about his love life) "If they can't even wrestle a knife outta my hands, I wants nothing to do with them!"
3. (sincerely) "Don't be a stranger, lad! Say hi the next time we beat ya!"
Darban (Dahr-BAHN)
Age: late 40s
Pronouns: he/him
Orientation: Gay. Only open to MLM folk. I'm not the queer identity police--if you feel that describes you, go ahead!
Voice type: mid, a bit nasal, cheerful and flamboyant.
Accent: Any accent welcome, but I'm picturing a bit of a southern aged queen to him. Please, don't put on an accent if it's not directly related to you/your background.
Volume of lines: ~15 lines
Visual Reference: (the sprite will be drawn based on the cast person's performance, but I'm picturing an otter-type)
Audition Lines:
1. (Scolding Tohkme) "I keep telling you, you can't rob every cute buck dry! You've got to leave them enough to survive if you ever want a chance to find someone to settle with!"
2. (Trying to be nice) "Aw, thank you sweetie. That's very kind of you—We're going to have to work on your compliments, though."
3. (Extra campy) "Some of us still a-dore having this little bit of privacy, though."
Whelp / extra citizen
Age: mid 20s
Gender: open to interpretation!
Voice type: mocking, somewhat abrasive
Accent: any accent welcome, but rolled R's are a plus. Please, don't put on an accent if it's not directly related to you/your background.
Volume of lines: ~10 lines for now (returning)
Visual Reference: (the sprite will be drawn based on the cast person's performance)
Note: the VA cast for this role will double as an extra for this chapter, it's counted inside the number of lines.
Audition Lines:
1. (smug, yet scolding) "You know what would be embarrassing? Dropping dead from lungworms."
2. (fed-up) "Fine! I guess we can just find ourselves a new Captain when you kick the bucket!"
3. (just bark like an excited dog for a second or two)
