Dev Log: New Creature Reveal!! + More creature art.
[ 2016-05-12 20:08:58 CET ] [ Original post ]
Last week we asked you all to guess what our newest creatures is going to be, giving you these three clues!
- It lives in bogs. EW.
- Don't fall in! It's speedy maw opens and closes in only a few milliseconds, trapping mostly bugs but sometimes the occasional frog.
- Although it looks like they have teeth, they actually have trigger hairs, which snap shut when stimulated!
Today we reveal what that creature is! (Drum roll please..........)
VENUS FLY TRAP!!
What's cool and different about this creature is that it actually isn't a creature, it's a plant! The root block keeps the plant stationary and will act as a guard to your homestead, eating any creatures that might wander into your territory. The Venus Fly Trap will be available on May 25th!
Our elephant is done! Above is Kevin's fancy, shmancy rendering and below is the elephant in game, being led around by Kate.
All the new creatures for May 25th are done, so Ashley has started working on two new ones for June; a bee and a cow! (Yes, those udders should be that big. You'll thank us when you start using those as hats for your creatures.)

The Art of CHKN
Behold! The miracle of life packed into cubes. CHKN is an open world sandbox game where life itself is your strongest tool. Bring creatures to life by assembling them from body parts, each packed with its own special sauce. Cook up whatever creatures you want and don’t be surprised if your creation has a mind of its own. With Creative, Adventure, and Multiplayer modes, there is an abomination for everyone.
But seriously. We’re just beginning with CHKN and we want you along for the ride. It’s going to be crazy and weird, but we’re going to involve you in any way possible, whether it’s asking for advice, testing out new features, or just showing us your ridiculous creations! We love hearing from you guys. Team CHKN is just a tweet, email, comment, or a very loud scream away. There will be bugs and there will be issues. Keep that in mind before you play.
KEY FEATURES
- Unique AI (aka the Special Sauce): You have the power to bring creatures to life by slapping blocks together, in whatever shape, size, or combination you want. These blocks of intelligent life give your creature unique personalities based on the combinations you make. No two creatures are alike...unless you make them alike. In which case, an egg will pop out of one of them. Even if it’s a cat. Because SCIENCE.
- Creature Interaction. Creatures have all the feels and they’re not afraid to express them. Sad eyebrows? Your creature might be lonely. Happy smiles and farts? Your creature loves you for feeding them hamburgers. If a creature is snarling and running at you, then it’s probably too late - you’re dead.
- Survival Tactics: You and your creature are starving to death. Do you feed your creature the last of your apples? Or do you cook your creature into a burger to feed yourself!?? Too much? OK.
Creatures will work better than tools at collecting resources and protecting your homestead. They’re better at fighting and cutting down trees than you are, so you’ll definitely want them on your side. - BUILD ALL THE THINGS!: Build a house! Build a farm! Build a three-headed, five-footed, llama-rantula-pus! With your creatures’ help, break apart your surroundings to craft tools and structures. Craft beds made of chicken parts and farm the land in order to survive and thrive.
- Adventure, Creative and Multiplayer Modes. Modes on modes on modes.
- Burps and farts. Need we say more?
DISCLAIMER
This is an Early Access game, which means it’s a little chick growing with every build. Remember raising them in school? Well, we’re that little chick under the heat lamps, confused about why we’re standing in sawdust with kids staring down at us.But seriously. We’re just beginning with CHKN and we want you along for the ride. It’s going to be crazy and weird, but we’re going to involve you in any way possible, whether it’s asking for advice, testing out new features, or just showing us your ridiculous creations! We love hearing from you guys. Team CHKN is just a tweet, email, comment, or a very loud scream away. There will be bugs and there will be issues. Keep that in mind before you play.
