CHKN v0.1.15 Patch Notes: Wolf Lifeblocks + Improvement Fixes!

Hey CHKN Army!

Today we added wolf lifeblocks to CHKN! Now you can build a menacing companion to fight those Poachers with. (Its eyeliner and eyebrows are on point too). We also fixed a few bugs that have been reported, such as creatures starving to death in the wild as well as not eating fruit. We also made a huge improvement to riding. Now creatures will stand still and kneel when placing a saddle. No more manic spinning and stampeding when you're trying to ride your abomination! Read the full patch notes here:

NEW FEATURES:

New Creature: The Wolf!

IMPROVEMENTS/CHANGES:

Upgraded to latest version of Unity Engine which should yield better performance.
Tamed creatures will now stand still and kneel when a player is placing a saddle.
Whistle commands can be given while riding a creature. You will still direct movement but creatures will attack if near a target.
Optimizations to game saving speed while moving through world.
Minor optimizations in creature sensing AI.
Creature stat UI is no longer hidden by things like the whistle tutorial text.
Tutorial indicators now trigger when looking at something with the crosshair instead of always visible.
Fixes to using items while riding a creature.

BUG FIXES:

Creature following now correctly takes in account the creature’s size.
Fixed bug that would cause creatures to starve when not near a player.
Fixed issues which would cause game to save a chunk without its entities.
Fix to creatures unable to eat fruits.
Tamed creatures no longer attack player if a player attacks another member of their species.

We hope these imporvements and bug fixes make CHKN more enjoyable for you all! Let us know what you think of this build, and take screenshots of creatures you make with the wolf parts! We love seeing your abominations. As always, thank you for your feedback and suggestions. They ultimately led to a lot of these improvements and fixes. Keep 'em comin! - 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.
