Help Test Controllers + Thanks for Bug Reports!

We need your help to test full controller support on Pre-Release. If you have a controller handy, here are the details:

CHKN will now automatically detect when you have a controller connected. Woot!
We’ve added cursor emulation so you can control those parts of the UI without needing a mouse.
- You can disable this emulation in the Options menu if you prefer the OS cursor, but heads up that this completely disables the ability to use parts of the UI with the controller and you’ll need to use a mouse, too.
We’ve added default bindings for the following controllers (so far):
- Xbox 360
- Xbox One
- Playstation 3
- Playstation 4
Steam Controller: Default bindings are coming soon. In the meantime, you can set your own bindings (for any controller) in the Options -> Controls menu.

To download the Pre-Release build with controller support, check out these instructions. Tell us about bugs, improvement ideas, or feedback on the forums and we’ll take a look ASAP. Thank you!

Added logic to place creature root in the correct position when the creature is reassembled

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.
