The Kindred
Family Friendly Gaming requested a digital
download code for The Kindred on Steam. Since I am writing this you
should be able to come to the conclusion that Family Friendly Gaming
received a digital download code for The Kindred on Steam. This PC video
game is in Alpha. I know what many of ya'll are wondering. No we were
not paid to play the game in Alpha. I completely understand that
sentiment that gamers should be paid to be QC analysts when they are
playing Alpha versions of video games. I will not dwell on that very
important issue in the video game industry in this preview. The Kindred
is sort of a Minecraft clone with a few important twists. What are they?
I will try to explore them in this preview.
I played the 5.1 version of The Kindred on the Personal Computer (PC). I
was able to play local offline and set the difficulty, world size, and
terrain generation. There was a seed number and I was able to translate.
The Kindred is really nice to players by explaining how things can be
done. We have a family of blocky people in a blocky world that we assign
tasks to. Think of this like assigning jobs or chores to each family
members. They can have more than one as well. They will perform those
duties when the opportunity presents itself. Like farming after an area
is created for crops. Or taking care of animals once a zone is provided.
The Kindred is almost like a mixture of Minecraft and Harvest Moon. The
main difference is the characters will take care of things for you.
The music in The Kindred is so quiet that it is almost silent. I noticed
The Kindred lagged from time to time. I kind of expect that from an
Alpha version of a video game though. I am not a fan of games going out
to the public before they are ready. I like how easy it is to build
things in The Kindred. From walls to objects. Yes there is a crafting
table in The Kindred. I wish someone would come up with a new name for
it. How about Work Bench? I will accept all gratuity payments for any
company that takes my idea and makes money with it.
