[IMPORTANT] Change to the May 25th Update. Read below.
We have all been working hard towards bringing you an update full of new and exciting stuff, but also fixes and improvements to the existing multiplayer. John and Greg have been rewriting existing code tirelessly, 7 days a week. Roman has been punching holes in terrain to make caves, and coding new forms of conflict to add some excitement to adventure mode.
After testing multiplayer together we discovered critical bugs that require the help of Unity to fix in their Unet networking code. We would rather delay these features then release them to you in an unplayable and buggy state. Being Early Access, we know that there will be bugs, but there is a line to draw between too many bugs, and an acceptable amount of bugs. Adding multiplayer fixes to this build would make it too buggy. Instead of setting a date to fix multiplayer by (especially because we are working hand in hand with Unity to make network fixes), we are going to work constantly on it, and update you along the way. As much as we'd love to set a hard date for you, we want to be able to take our time and make this right. We will still be releasing some new things! Here is what will be included in the May 25th Update:

Hello CHKN Army!
We have all been working hard towards bringing you an update full of new and exciting stuff, but also fixes and improvements to the existing multiplayer. John and Greg have been rewriting existing code tirelessly, 7 days a week. Roman has been punching holes in terrain to make caves, and coding new forms of conflict to add some excitement to adventure mode.
After QA testing this weekend, we have decided to delay the multiplayer improvements and the general performance improvements part of the update. Here is why:
After testing multiplayer together we discovered critical bugs that require the help of Unity to fix in their Unet networking code.

Here is what will be included in the May 25th Update:
- 7 new creatures, including dragons that breathe fire.
- conflict: creatures can attack your homestead at night.
- new points of interest: discover where the dragon dwells.
- creature stats: see how hungry or tame your creatures are.
- new items: transmute plants and craft exploding fruit.
Sincerely, Team CHKN.

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.
