CHKN v0.1.14 Patch Notes: Creature Abilities + New Items and more!

Hey CHKN Army!

Abilities are here! We are so excited to bring this update to you guys. Since creatures are the core basis of our game, we have been working on ways to differentiate each one besides stats and behaviour. Now with abilities, you must strategize on the best ways to build and use your creatures during certain situations! For example, drinking cows milk cures you if you get poisoned and waterblasts can put out fire caused by dragons (or you when you’re being clumsy with a torch). We also added an offhand slot so that you can carry a torch while also holding something in your other hand, such as food, a weapon, or a whistle. We also added a few more cool features! Check them out below in the full patch notes:

NEW FEATURES:

Octopus mouth shoots ink which obstructs vision.
Snake mouths have venom which deals damage over time when they bite.
Spider mouths have a paralyzing poison when they bite.
Damage-over-time and paralyzing darts can be crafted using snake and spider mouths plus a dart.
Charge ability added for creatures with horns.
Offhand slot added. This is an additional slot in the hot bar. Whatever is equipped in this slot will be placed in the left hand. The F key quickly switches the main and off-hand items. If an item in the main hand doesn’t have a secondary action, right clicking will activate the off hand item. Torches and lanterns will provide light when equipped in the off hand slot.
New creature type: Cow! Cow udders will provide milk when activated with the bucket. Milk will remove all poison statuses.

IMPROVEMENTS/CHANGES:

Crafting recipes tweaked.
All items now properly fit in player’s hands when equipped.
Damage indicator added to screen.
Status indicators added to screen.
Water reflections disabled to improve graphic performance

BUG FIXES:

Fixed bug that prevented screen to shake slightly when hit
Fixed issue where couldn’t place blocks near edge of edit sphere

We can’t wait to see what you guys make and do with these exciting new abilities! If you have any questions, comments, suggestions or bug reports for this patch, please let us know in the forum. Have fun! -TEAM CHKN

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.
