Always keep a copy of the Old Ones and make a printout on the H.P.

What's more disturbing is that she was also seeing his grandfather.

Yes it was all me 😉 And a load of others. Thank you very much!

I saw screenshots of this in ACE magazine and couldn't believe it. I barely slept thinking about it. I got my first PC just for this (though I only just managed to get it to run!).

Glorious!

Oooh yes really liked it but like many of them, bloody hard at times. DM was probably amongst the easier ones. And Might & Magic World of Xeen, which I really want to play again.

Lionbum @lionbum.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
Did you ever play Bloodwych? That was interesting as it was split screen co-op.

Lionbum @lionbum.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
Yeah a bit though didn't quite fully click (haha) for me as much as DM or the Eye of the Beholders. Might try again. Have you tried the Secret of Weepstone and Underkeep demos?

Yes he was 😄 I always had Wuuf, Gothmog, Chani and Sonja. Would love to make a dungeon crawler like that. Sigh.

Lionbum @lionbum.bsky.social · 23/09/2026
Yes! Light spell! Over and over and over. You are only cool though if you had Wuuf in your party.

I used to live on the 4th floor in a room behind an illusionary wall. Stacked full of food and equipment. Then I would stand punching doors etc for hours raising my skill levels. Everyone was a master of everything by the time Chaos Strikes Back came out, which made that much easier.

Die Hard: You are the correct person in the right place at the perfect time. Passenger 57: Statistically red gives you a 50% chance too. Predator: I wouldn't wish that way on any animal with a severe penis affliction.

Oooh 99 was when I started my game dev journey. Seems like only yesterday. If yesterday was 27 years in length.

I can't see any green cover Fighting Fantasy books or a copy of Black & White (might be there but hard to see), so not perfect but pretty damned good! ;)

It's more Fable with bits of Ultima 7, Fantasy Life, Reccetear and Stardew :)

An absolute honour! Hope you enjoy the absolute onslaught of references, wordplays and terrible puns. Am as pleased as Tickling Tom Hookfingers you are playing. And keep your eyes peeled post-prologue for some entertainment legends!

The only voice impression I convince myself I can do perfectly. Although I can only say "Ah! He-Man!"

Someone should turn these into actual books ;)

Minigames on loading screens, like the good old 8-bit days. You could leave your doors open and get a tram and fish and chips and still have change of tuppence etc.

Kynseed. But I think my lack of tech knowledge made me think Unreal AI was Unreal Engine :) just ignore me and move along...

Lionbum @lionbum.bsky.social · 23/08/2026
I don't think we did. We used our own engine on a Monogame framework, although I don't code so can't truly be sure what any of that means :)

There are over 550 pop culture references. Still counting!

Physical would be nice but not currently in the plans sadly. Fingers crossed though!

Kynseed Review – A Cozy Life Where Every Year Counts
Looking at Kynseed, it's easy to mistake it for a cheerful farming RPG. It's valid reasoning, considering PixelCount Studios was founded by former Fable developers. Plenty of that playful British humour can be found throughout the game. But farming is only one part of the experience. If you scratch beneath the colourful pixel art surface, you'll find a world where some of the biggest decisions you'll make involve giving up years of your character's life.
