Kynseed Exits Early Access

Kynseed is a game I’ve followed closely since it was announced. This was way back when I was a baby indie game lover figuring out my first steps into the indie game world. I’ve grown a lot, and so has Kynseed! After a lengthy development and large chunk of time in Early Access, it left today. Here’s what the devs had to say on Steam:

Dear Seedlings,

The wait is over. We are proud to finally let v1.0 free into the gaming hands of our fantastic friends and followers. Of course, it wouldn't have happened without your support, so feel free to give yourself a hefty pat on the back.

Don't forget that you will have to start a new game with the launch version. Previous saves from earlier versions will no longer be compatible with the game. However, we will be offering an older branch of the game on Steam for those who would like to play on their older saves.

There will be plenty of new content to see at the start of the game, so don't worry!


Does our small but perfectly formed development team have time to rest? No, of course not!

Whilst you are all hopefully thoroughly enjoying wandering around Quill, discovering the secrets of the story and starting families, we will be cracking on. There is loads of new content to come over the following weeks, months and hopefully years. We've got new characters to meet, the Tavern will become ownable, and there will be new story seasons to entertain.

There will also be added polish, and we are waiting with our design dept whiteboards and coding keyboards at the ready to respond to any gameplay feedback we are lucky enough to receive.

So, this is by no means the end, but it is the end of the beginning. Let's go adventuring - once upon a lifetime!

Love,

Pixelcount

Sounds good Pixelcount! Now despite the years I only have an hour or so into it, but I really enjoyed it. I’ll be excited to see how version 1.0 plays.

For those who don’t know, Kynseed is a life sim/farming RPG made by some of the same people from the Fable team. Its big claim of fame is that characters age, and die, and then players can follow their farming dynasty through the generations. Anyone curious to find out more can check out the Steam page here.
