COMMUNITY FOCUS: Weekend challenge entries + new videos and fan art!

Last Friday we challenged you crazy creators to build creatures that would live in caves, and show us what you made! Here are some awesome ones for this weeks community focus, as well as a few great videos that were made this past week.

SCREENSHOTS:

lilyput7 made a Crabat, and says "Large nostrils to sniff out prey, large eyes for night vision to seek prey. Crab legs cause they taste great :)" Love that crab leg logic!

pipeinplaid made the "majestic Cave Catsnake" which evolved big ears and tiny eyes from living in a cave for so long.

Unrelated to the challenge but too funny to pass up, propos took a pic of this Palmsheep after he apparently ate from funny mushrooms and started tasting colors.

NEW VIDEOS

FAN ART

WookieBlog made this funny comic! They have a point, we have to admit.

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.

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.

FUTURE ROADMAP:

Additional creatures; dragon, goat, sheep, llama and many more.
Added abilities; flying, poison, fire breathing.
Improved AI; dogs can guard houses, ants can follow scents, etc.
Improved Multiplayer Mode.
Cactus-Man.
Much larger world, with additional biomes and points of interest.
