Getting Started

Summary

Kynseed is a life-sim adventure, with a large amount of player freedom. Things may at times seem overwhelming, but there is generally no need to rush. There are a number of in-game means to access help, guidance, and options to tune your experience.

Getting Started

Once the beautiful title screen appears (press any key or button to make the options appear) you are presented with a variety of choices. Load and Continue are fairly self-explanatory, as is Settings. There are many useful options within the Settings menu, so maybe before you begin, you can adjust the game to more of your liking? You can access these options at any time in-game. Well, except for in combat or cutscenes, but otherwise, any time.

New Game

Here you can begin a new adventure. A new save will be created, so do not fear losing previous ones.

When you start a new game you will be given a choice of character style to choose from. You may pick from a selection of head types and hair and skin colours. You can then name your character.

Meet Pott

When satisfied, continue to the introduction scene. Watch the charming introduction about how Uncle Bill took you from the orphanage known as The Shoe and brought you to his farm in the Vale, a safe haven in the land of Quill. You will then awaken in a strange place. Using a mouse & keyboard or Gamepad, run to the glade where our friend Pott awaits and answer his questions by running through the doors.

Pott is a Brounie, which is a kind of Fae that is loyal to a house and will dust and tidy it if treated well. Brounies are exceptionally loyal, but also very sarcastic, so don't take his words to heart. He loves you really. Please note that the choices you make do not block off any content...they are merely just to alter your initial Stats.

After your decisions, you will get one more question from Pott concerning a choice of Pendant (you will be gifted this choice at the end of the Prologue.

Ruby Pendant, Emerald Pendant, Sapphire Pendant and Diamond Pendant.
