Pspspsps, new update just dropped. We separated toy styles from toy upgrades, so you can now play with your favorite toy while still having the best exp output! And speaking of exp, the toy effectiveness can now be upgraded up to +50 exp per click. We also noticed that the late-game can become too slow and grindy for our taste, so we decided to reduce the price for Galactic Rolls down to $25B. Enjoy the space shopping spree!

v1.2.6 Changelog

• Separated toy styles from toy upgrades.
• Added new toy level upgrade button in the catalog.
• Reduced Galactic Roll price (from $131B to $25B).
• Added an icon in the tooltip showing from which Roll the cat originates (When picking from a Galactic Roll).
• Added an option to sort by breed name in the Owned Cats Screen.
• Code optimization in the lantern script.
• Fixed a bug where the Worklight Lantern wouldn't assign the proper time boost.

Hi everyone! We're bringing some Quality of Life features on the Details card, together with a revamped Owned Cats screen and a new bulk-sell option. Let's take a look:

Roll and Discovery tooltips, Inspect button

When examining a cat, you now have two new icons, one identifying which Roll the cat is from, and the other telling you which variations of that breed you have already discovered.
In the new Owned Cats screen, each cat card has a magnifying glass button that will make you further inspect the cat by jumping to their room and bringing up their details card.

New feature: bulk-sell

In need of a big clean up? You can now sell all grown cats (or just the ones who reached max level) with a couple of clicks! Just make sure to lock all the cats that you want to keep with you before that. Last but not least, there's a new arrival in the catalog!

v1.2.5 Changelog

• Details Card and Owned Cats Card: added an icon (with tooltip) to identify which Roll a cat is from.
• Details Card and Owned Cats Card: added an icon (with tooltip) to see whether the cat has been already discovered as Adult or Chonker.
• Owned Cats Card: added a button to go directly to that cat's room and open the Details Card.
• Owned Cats screen overhaul.
• New bulk-sell option in the Owned Cats Screen.
• When buying a new cat, a new line has been added to the bottom of the tooltip showing how many kittens of the same breed you currently own.
• New furniture: Torii (Litter Box)
• Changing room style maintains the current furniture equipped, therefore the 20 cats limit has been removed.
• The Collection screen now shows the breed name if you have already discovered another variation.
• Save/Load code optimization.
• Added new cat names from the suggestions survey. Thank you!
• Updated the texture of disabled buttons.
• The Menu window has been slightly resized to avoid possible conflict between buttons.
• Added a border to the dropdown lists.
• Fixed the room hourly income tooltip.
• Equipping an already bought furniture/upgrade now plays the normal button click sound.

A quick patch to address some issues with the new Grab feature!

v1.2.3 Changelog

• Fixed an unintended behaviour that made you able to grab cats when a window was open, thus closing the window.
• Increased the timer duration before the grab mode is triggered to 0.4s (grab mode is triggered earlier only by moving the mouse away from the slot while holding down the left click).
• Added an option in the menu to toggle the Grab feature off.
• Added an option in the menu to toggle the positions shuffle back on.
• To make room for the new options, the menu screen has been resized and rearranged.
• The Income Tooltip now updates on room change.

Pspspsps, we've been planning to add this feature for a while, and now it's finally live!

New feature: Grab

By holding down the left mouse button, you can now grab cats and move them to any free slot, or have them swap place with another cat; in addition to this, all cats will remember their slot even after you close the game. We're also happy to report that we found and fixed the bug that caused a savefile corruption to some users!

v1.2.2 Changelog

• New feature: Grab.
• Cats will remember their slot between play sessions.
• Cats won't shuffle position randomly on room change anymore.
• Fixed a bug corrupting the save file on game launch
• Added the current room's income in the tooltip while hovering the money label.
• Improved performance when the Task Log is open.
• Fixed an issue with cat sprites overlapping incorrectly.
• Fixed a glitch where the EXP Booster button would change size when greyed out.

Hello everyone! We're starting 2025 with a big content update:

New room style: Meown

Our third room style is finally here! This lunar playground is the perfect home for your space cats, and it comes with a batch of new themed furniture as well. While the Meown is unlocked by completing tasks, the Toolbox, Rover, and Worklight are for sale in the catalog at any time.

New feature: Bulk-buy

The unending pain of having so much money but needing to go back and forth the ui to buy one roll at the time is over. You can now buy multiple rolls of the same kind with a few clicks, and filling rooms to capacity will be a breeze. But it doesn't stop here! We've been working fixing, improving, and expanding Chonkers, here's the full changelog:

v1.2.0 Changelog

• New room style: Meown.
• New furniture: Toolbox (bench), Rover (Tower), Worklight (Lantern).
• Rolls can now be bought in bulk.
• Experience needed for cats in the Cobby Cuties, Exotic Friends, and Special Snugglers rolls has been reduced by 30%.
• Furniture prices have been reduced for every room after the first.
• Keep an eye out for new rare distractions flying at full speed across your screen!
• The outline of a selected cat will now mirror their rarity.
• Added a new loading screen when the game starts and optimized loading times.
• Overall performance optimization.
• Joypad buttons have been bound (D-pad for room change, Shoulder buttons for left and right clicks, Right Action / Button East for the Esc key function).
• Added Activity / Rich Presence for Steam and Discord.
• Roll names have been added above each row of the Collection Screen, along with a number tracking how many breeds are yet to be discovered.
• Collection Screen has been slightly resized, to hint more at the horizontal scrollbar.
• Since it still caused confusion, the Community Marketplace button in the Exp Booster screen has been aptly renamed as such.
• Changed Lantern and Bowl positions in the Backyard room style.
• Fixed the night light effect for Lanterns in the Backyard room style.
• Fixed a graphical glitch in the Oriental Shorthair Kitten sprite.
• Resfreshing news! The "Task resfresh" typo in the task log has been corrected.
• Fixed the graphic for the locked version of the sell button in the Cats Screen.
• Fixed a mouse conflict with the tooltip while choosing a new cat card, causing unwanted flickering.

That is all for now. Our best wishes for a cozy and wonderful New Year to all of you

Hello everyone! We've addressed the issue regarding income levels, which were completely off and dragged the initial pacing of the game longer than expected. The income formula has been revised, resulting in a massive increase for all cats, especially the rarest one. With this change, selling cats won't feel like the only way to make progress steadily. Additionally, we adjusted Exp requirements for the cats in the first Roll, making the game more engaging early on.

v1.13 Changelog

• General income rebalance for all breeds.
• Experience rebalance for the "Moderately Sleepy" Roll.
• Hovering on your money label will now show your total daily and hourly income.
• New cat names have been added from the suggestions survey. Thank you!

Hello! We're still tweaking income values to make early game progression feel more satisfiyng, and they'll be ready for the next update. In the meantime, here are some small changes and a couple of features requested by the community:

v1.12 Changelog

• The task log has been reworded for clarity, since the streak system is not an actual streak anymore, but a cumulative tasks reward.
• Line-spacing in the tooltip during cat selection has been increased for better readability.
• You can now cycle between rooms using the left and right arrow keys, or by pressing the corresponding room's number (Thanks Gary Dozer).
• You can now sort cats by level in the Owned cats screen (Thanks Armanywright).

See you soon for our next update!

[ 2024-12-18 21:05:24 CET ] [ Original post ]

Hi! Today we've been focusing on the streak system, and have some news about it: As of now, the streak won't reset anymore if you miss a daily task. Thinking back on it, it felt too punishing and not reflecting at all the vibe of our game. Some users experienced bugs with lost streaks. To bring everyone up to speed, loading an existing save will now bump your task streak up, as if you've completed each daily task since launch day. Lastly, the game will now create a backup save file every 15 minutes of playtime. We've had an instance of a bsod while saving, creating a corrupted file. Should something like this happen now, you can replace the broken file with the backup one. Save file paths are: Windows: %appdata%/godot/app_userdata/chonkers Linux: .local/share/godot/app_userdata/chonkers

v1.11 Changelog

• Streak system rework: streak won't reset on missed daily tasks.
• Total distractions clicked achievement goal reduced to a more reasonable amount.
• Removed the experience popup while playing with cats that are at max level.

Thanks for your continued support and feedback, Cheers!

Hello! We're working to further improve our game, also thanks to the suggestions of our lovely community! Here's the changelog:

• Income from distractions is increased based on the amounts of rooms owned.
• Money reward from litter boxes is increased based on the amounts of rooms owned.
• The examine vertical card now has a galaxy background when selecting space cats.
• Space cats cards in the collection screen now have rainbow names.
• Fixed a bug where space chonkers sprites in the collection screen appeared as normal chonkers.
• Added new cat names from the suggestions survey. Thank you!
• Increased distraction spawn rate and adjusted trajectory in the Backyard Room Style (Thanks Chocolate Van Candy).
• Added an accessibilty setting that toggles a bigger outline on distractions (Thanks RoyalCorvids).
• Current money UI will appear while clicking distractions in Chill mode.
• Fixed a bug that made distractions under a text popup unclickable while in Chill mode. (Thanks Frambo).

(Thanks Gary Dozer for the following suggestions)

• Purr sounds that play when selecting sleeping cats were very quiet and hard to hear, now they are louder.
• Moved cat sounds to a different audio track from sfx and added its own volume slider.
• Added a setting to mute only the toy sound.
• Cats stay awake for a few seconds after playing and gain one extra passive exp point during that time, but it wasn't pointed out anywhere. Now a text popup has been added to display this.
• Expanded the tooltip during cat selection from a roll: A discovered kitten will show you the exp required to grow, and a fully discovered breed will show Lv.1 income and sell value.
• Added a new tooltip for the collection screen showing exp to grow, income and sell value for discovered breeds.

Hello everyone! We're pretty confident to have found a solution for the bug that caused the very first daily task to not trigger the item reward correctly. For every new user, in case you still don't receive an item drop after your first daily, just restarting the game will fix that and drop your reward. We're sorry for the inconvenience, and to compensate for it all current users who encountered the bug will receive an extra reward next time they launch the game. Thanks for your continuous support, and we hope you're enjoying playing Chonkers! Alessandro

[ 2024-12-13 16:29:40 CET ] [ Original post ]

Hello! First things first, let's address the elephant in the room. The Item Store is gone, dead, and it won't come back. Nobody, not even a necromancer, can resurrect it. For those unaware of what I'm talking about, we added an Item Store with an EXP Boost and a Golden Roll (items that could be obtained for free in-game) thinking it could offer a mean for our players to continuously support us and, at the same time, be rewarded with a modest boost in-game. Unfortunately, the Item Store has been perceived as a paywall, and the fact that we intentionally avoided advertising the purchasable items (that could not be bought in-game, hence why the lack of the "In-App Purchases" tag) has been seen as we were trying to hide the shop instead. Additionally, we encountered a bug that was blocking the in-game reward system and these items became unobtainable for many, and it surely didn't help building trust. We are sorry for the confusion it might have caused and hope that our official statement will help you decide whether Chonkers is a game for you or not. Said so, we are incredibly grateful for your feedback and the wave of love that Chonkers has been receiving!

v1.07 Changelog

• Fixed (hopefully) a bug preventing Steam from triggering the reward item drop upon completing the first daily task. Successive tasks have already been tested and proven to trigger the item drop correctly.
• Added a setting to toggle the right mouse click, to be able to play with cats without needing to hold down the mouse button. (Thanks Kirilee from our Discord)
• Added an icon in the examination window to further signal when a cat is a chonker, same as in the owned cats screen. (Thanks OldFool2024 from our Discord)

Thank you all for sticking with us, despite the initial hiccups Yours kindly, Alessandro and Fabiano P.s. Come chill with other Chonkers lovers in our Discord. We're waiting for your feedback, and you're welcome even if you're bringing a bug report with you!
