  • Gather materials to create items, forge weapons or mix cures for bizarre maladies.

  • Buy strange artifacts from the mysterious Mr. Fairweather - items that can aid your chores, help you in combat, or just let you mess with the world. But be warned of his life tax; each item must be paid with years of your life!

  • A world where everyone ages - raise a family then step into your children's shoes and continue your legacy.

In Kynseed, live your life the way you choose in a lovingly handcrafted 2D open world. It’s a beautiful RPG adventure from a couple of tea-making veterans of the Fable series.

    Tavern goes Experimental

    Greetings Seedlings! It is Experimental Build time again! We have been locked in our cellar in PixelCount Castle concocting a nifty little update for your pleasure. This update needs your eyes and ears and brains to give us valuable feedback and flush out any nasty little issues that might be hidden away. So what is in this update, we hear you ask?Travel to Homesteads. There will will find a colourful lady called Peggy Spoonweather. Talk to her to find out what’s what.Peggy will sell you the HOMESTEADS TAVERN, if you have met the Grandmasters and unlocked the power to buy businesses.Once bought, you can hire staff, book entertainers, get Perks, serve food and drink and have a jolly old time running your very own tavern.The tavern is a great place to get NPCs in one place for completing tasks or even just meeting them for the first time.What to expect:Balance may need adjusting, but that’s what we need your feedback for.There ‘may’ be the odd bug, but hopefully nothing major. Again, let us know if something is awry, no matter how insignificant.More quality humour, which we know you love.Did we already say that you can OWN A TAVERN? Things to note: Installing this build will overwrite your current version of Kynseed. Existing saves stay in the Saves folder, whilst Experimental saves go into a new folder. If you want to return to the previous build, switch back to the default branch on Steam, where your previous saves will be intact. You won’t be able to load your Experimental saves into the default branch. We have bugs. We are working through them right now. If you spot any big ones, let us know - specifically crashes. We don’t see many crashes these days, but if you see one:Take a screenshot of the red crash screen using the Snipping tool in Windows and send it to us via the channel on Discord, or by email at bugs@pixelcountstudios.com.Also, send us your latest save, found in Kynseed/ExperimentalSaves. And finally, send us the latest file in Kynseed/Logs. How to get ...
