ABOUT PIXELCOUNT STUDIOS
PixelCount Studios is a small team of independent developers who have come together to build the game of their dreams. Kynseed is an original life sim RPG inspired by the charm, eccentricity, and humour that permeated Lionhead Studios’ games. PixelCount Studios was founded by Fable developers Charlie Edwards and Neal Whitehead, and is Chaired by game industry legend Sir Ian Livingstone.
As the other users said, the developers aren't joking when they say you should't expect even a half-finished game. Nonetheless, I do think it has a lot of potential. I definitely had a lot of fun playing what's already there and I look forward to seeing how it develops, I have high hopes for this one.
For those who are unsure whether to buy it or not, you might want to wait if you're looking for a finished product, but I would still suggest keeping an eye on it if you like this type of games. Go for it if you don't mind that it's still in alpha.
I can forgive waiting 4 1/2 years for a game to be completed as I ponied up money ahead of time. I can forgive bugs and jankiness in an uncompleted game. I can forgive missing promised features as they are surely going to be added in later. I can not forgive claiming your game is fully released when it still has these issues.
I saw this game listed on the store page and checked it out, the first line was all I needed to read to buy it: "Kynseed is a sandbox RPG adventure life sim brought to you by developers who worked on the Fable series for Lionhead Studios."
I have played a little bit of it so far, and slowly learning how the game mechanics work. I LOVE the soundtrack, the music is so soothing and relaxing!
I am very excited to see where this game goes!
This is a broken buggy mess. I've made it so far to planting the kynseed, but it was becoming too difficult to progress. I can overlook music and graphics bugs, but when the clock, item names and character names all disappeared, that was the last straw.
