Kynseed was born from the ashes of Fable developer Lionhead Studios, and ever since that first emergence from those hallowed embers, we've been toiling away to make something memorable. Creating an open world sandbox RPG where everyone ages and dies is an ambitious affair, which is why the journey of Kynseed’s development has already been underway for some time - a journey that all began with a Kickstarter. Since then, we've been laying the engine's groundwork and working closely with a ragtag group of supporters who we've watched evolve into an ever larger community. Now, it's time to take the next big step of our journey together.

You know how sometimes when a game suddenly announces a release date you think to yourself, "Blimey, that's just a few weeks away." As luck would have it, this is one of those times! We're very happy to announce that Kynseed will release for Steam Early Access on November 8th!

The game will be $9.99 for initial release, so head to Kynseed's Steam Store Page and hit that Wishlist button to get notified the second it launches. Plus, when it comes to indie devs such as ourselves, wishlisting is a huge help for getting us visibility around the Steam site!

This release also means that it's almost time to lay the Kynseed late backer program to rest - it's definitely earned it. We'll be closing its doors on November 2nd at midnight PDT (GMT-7). So for those of you who haven't yet backed (or want to upgrade), you've still got a little time left to get your hands on any of those rewards that strike your fancy. Not to mention, backing now will get you the game at a smidge lower price and, of course, you'll still be sent your Steam key the exact moment the game releases on Early Access.

For the army of supporters who have helped get us this far, thank you. We couldn't have done this without you - and we mean that very literally. Truly, we couldn't have. Launching on Steam Early Access is a huge step in Kynseed's development, but it's still just a step. There are many more to come and our journey is far from over. In a way, it's only getting started. So here's to future adventures as we all take that big step together on November 8th!

Love,

Awesome! C: If we've already backed will a Steam key be sent to us? I can't remember if that has been mentioned or not, I backed a few months ago haha

Yes you will get a Steam key :-)

Oh, I've been inactive way too long, but now that I'm back again I am so happy to see this!!

This is great news but the biggest risk someone (another dev) made a fantastic point about not releasing on steam EA until he was sure the game is good enough because the reviews could really hurt the game, i forgot exactly what he said but he made sense, I hope what comes out during EA is solid so the game isn't misrepresented there is a lot of people who will solely be impatient and hurt the game with bad reviews/mixed so it's super risky, big time supporter of the game myself so "i got my fingers crossed this is a good decision.

"Steam Early Access

We don’t want to release on Steam Early Access until we have a relatively polished, fully-featured Alpha release. We believe this offers the best chance of success as, despite the Early Access label, Steam gamers expect a relatively final product. The following will likely be implemented during the Steam early acess phase."

that was for king under the mountain but i can't find the exact quote!

ANYWAYS good luck i'm there day 1 as usual!

I'm unbelievably excited for this. My first introduction to kynseed was via dangerously funny's video on it. It then sat in the back of my mind for a while, until I decided to look it up again. I'm so glad I did that, because the beta backer access is so much fun! I'll keep supporting this game as long as I can! :p

I'm super hyped for this. It's been cool as an aspiring game artist to see the work you wonderful people have been doing and i cant wait til i can play the full EA release.

Any estimates when early backers will get the steam keys? Need to make sure to watch for that!

Yay! I'm sure there will be a lot of happy people on Nov 8th! (Including yourselves!)

Oh, it will be such a busy weekend, but who needs sleeping :)
Great news, and now that it's so close, I can't wait for it :)
