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,

Dear Seedlings,

As part of our launch celebration and promotion, we are delighted to announce a cheeky treat for our favourite Kynseed players, crafted by our very best castle carpenters.

We bring you the 'Bonus Bog'.

Now, we are aware that the word 'bog', is a largely British colloquialism, so also consider it our 'Token Toilet', 'Rare Restroom' or 'Wicked WC' .



There are three new exclusive toilet designs to choose from. These are creatively named 'Kid' 'Monster' and 'Nature'.

This is a special bonus for those of you who have already supported us by purchasing Kynseed during Early Access and those future players who purchase the game within one week of launch*.

These lovingly crafted outhouses will not be available again after December 13th 2022, so don't miss out on your chance to decorate your outhouse...with our colourful designs we mean!




Love,






* Within one week of launch will end on December the 13th at the same time of day that the game is launched, currently planned for 15:00 GMT but subject to change.

Hello Seedlings,

In celebration of the upcoming launch on December 6th, we're giving away a copy of Kynseed to five lucky people!

To enter this giveaway, all you need to do is head over to our Discord server, go to the #polls-and-giveaways channel and click the button underneath the post. Sounds simple, eh?

The giveaway closes on the 6th at Midday UK time.

Good luck to all, we'll see you there!

Hello Seedlings,

As we hit our final week before release, we thought we would prepare you for the dangers of the dark forests with this little video.



In Kynseed, you can optionally decide to forage for materials and loot in the monster-infested places of the land.

You can prepare your loadout with Wards, Charms, Effigies and even pets!

Take some nourishing food and select a couple of swords you can switch at will, each with advantages against certain monster types. You should also keep an eye on the weather and certain special events which may affect how the combat plays out!

So grab your weapons and items and get clobberin’!


Love,

Hello Seedlings,

The time is nearly here for you all to eagerly leap upon the goods cart as it leaves the castle. We are still working away by candlelight, tuning and polishing our humble game for you. The scribes in the cellar have nearly finished the text, but there is still more going in as we speak.

There are over 125,000 words in the game, and we have gone through thousands of quills and barrels of ink. We have to prioritise our time with a small team, so our lantern focus is on the initial launch.
This means that on Dec 6th, V1.0 of Kynseed will be English-language only.

We feel that every item description, piece of lore, wordplay, pun and babble of charming dialogue deserves the love and attention our community will appreciate; as they cross time zones and language barriers for your pleasure.



We will be working with our localisation partners to ensure justice is done and that those who speak the many wonderful languages of the world can enjoy the game without having to work out what on earth most of the jokes and references are. It’s hard enough in English, never mind German, Portuguese, or Korean!

We will post a Localisation Roadmap in the next month or so, detailing when you can expect a translation and where in the world our flying pigs will land.

Until next time, Friends of the world.

Love,
