Kainga in 2025
Ive been working on bringing some exciting new features to the game, including new creatures, technologies, and the new points of interest system. I've also been trying to add controller support which has proven to be more difficult than I expected, but Im making progress on it. More news on this to come, and if you want to try out the new update and help find issues, you can join the BETA branch and reach out on Discord!
Im really excited to announce that Ive launched my own development company: Silk Softworks. Im still a solo developer, but as I spread out to more projects in the future, I want to have them under one umbrella brand.
This may seem just symbolic, but it has allowed me to move into a self-publishing model this year, under the Silk Softworks brand. This means Kainga will no longer be published by Green Man Gaming and I've regained full control of the game again! This has removed a roadblock in updates and you should see more activity here from now on :)
While awaiting the transfer, Ive also been working on a new game: ShantyTown. It started as a tiny side project but has grown into something I'm quite proud of. ShantyTown is a relaxing city-block building game where you place objects one at a time to create a colorful, atmospheric and dense urban environment. I've been making ~monthly devlogs since the games conception, so if you're interested in the whole game-dev process, you can check that out here. If the game sounds like its up your alley, please do me a favor and wishlist it! It really does help. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2434600/ShantyTown/ Although a totally different genre, tone and game, the world of ShantyTown and Kainga are inherently linked! They even share the same phonetic language! (These characters are on the cover of the Kainga menu book)
If you havent already, be sure to follow Silk Softworks on Bluesky or join the Discord using the links below. I'll also be streaming for the next few hours on Twitch, so if you want to drop in and see the update for yourself, please fell free to! Thanks for reading, Ill be sure to let you know when the new update goes live with a full description of what's included. All my best, Erik
