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 [email protected].
Also, send us your latest save, found in Kynseed/ExperimentalSaves. And finally, send us the latest file in Kynseed/Logs.
How to get the Experimental Build installed:
In your steam library right click and access properties for Kynseed.
Under the Betas tab, select Experimental from the dropdown.
This should now update and replace the build with this version. You can return to the normal build by choosing None for the Beta Participation options.
How to get in touch:
Our Community Wizard has set up a dedicated channel on PixelCount’s Discord called Experimental Build. If Discord is not your thing, you can email us at [email protected].
Or you can just post any bugs and feedback in the Steam forum. Thank you again for being such a great, dedicated community, and we hope you enjoy this update.
All the best,
