Greetings, dedicated Kynseed followers!

Today, we are thrilled to share with you the first of many exciting content reveals we have planned.

Without further ado, we present to you the official name and logo of the update that has occupied our time and efforts since just before the arrival of spring: 'The Big Build Update'!




In the upcoming posts, we will be unveiling each new feature individually to avoid spoiling the surprise. However, we can assure you that this game update will introduce three massive game modes and a plethora of quality of life improvements.

Now, let's delve into the essence of our enchanting logo and the significance of its name. What hints can you gather from these delightful elements?

But fear not, dear reader, for we shall return shortly with the announcement of the first new feature, which is - ah, hang on...

Apologies for the brief moment of excitement – I got a little carried away there!


Love,





PixelCount
