Hello there! What a wild launch! Thanks for the well-wishes and positivity during this time. I'm out of the hospital and feeling MUCH better :) It's been a while since release, so sorry for the delayed patch! I've been reading all your feedback, and making changes where I can. Please do know I'm doing my best to fit everyone's needs! There are some gameplay changes, specifically settings, that should allow for a more relaxed play session for those who don't want to deal with neighbors. Also added are a few suggestions form the community, so thank you for your voices! I'm much more active on Discord! so if you want to come by and say hi, share your bug reports, or horror stories of snails and crabs, welcome!

Welcome to the mystical world of Kainga, magical lands full of wonder and beauty, where strange other-wordly beasts roam. Take control of a Thinker and grow your village into a thriving civilization, adapting and surviving against all odds.

Kainga: Seeds of Civilization is a unique roguelite-inspired village-builder. Be warned, its stunning landscapes hide many threats. Other tribes compete for resources, the weather threatens to wash you away, and colossal creatures can rise up and destroy all you’ve built. As you begin to take wins and earn karma, the world begins to unravel with new unique lands, technologies, challenges and Thinkers to unlock, discover and learn.

Can you master the beautiful but dangerous lands of Kainga?
