A wild Dubsheep under construction... We want you to design the first set of new wild creatures for the world of CHKN. Submit your creature combos and we’ll choose which of your creations will roam wild in our next release! Your challenge this time around is to create fun and interesting wild creatures made only using Life Blocks from up to 3 animal types. Players discover wild creatures while exploring so they can be friendly island inhabitants or aggressive foes. We had so much fun on the last challenge seeing your boss designs that we’d never have come up with ourselves. We also learned a lot from how you built your creatures. We can’t wait to see what you all come up with this round!

The Rules

[olist]

Create a small or medium-sized wild creature you’d expect to run into while exploring early on in Adventure Mode.

Is it dangerous or cute? Stand-alone or roams in packs? It’s up to you!

Build your wild creature using only the Life Blocks from up to three animal types.

So, maybe a cat-dog? Or a plant-dino-sheep? Or how about a spider-cow? You can choose any three (or fewer) animals you like, then use any parts from those three animals in your creature.

We’ll be judging your creatures on:

Functionality
Personality
Looks

How to Enter

[olist]

Launch CHKN in Creative Mode.

Choose your animal types and build your creature using their Life Blocks. Have fun and get creative!

Exit the build sphere and save your creation to the Workshop so we can see it. (Use the [Q] command on your creature and select “Save to Workshop”.)

Make sure to give your creature a name and be sure to add “Creature Challenge #2” to the title or description so we can find it.[/olist] That’s it! If you have multiple ideas, you can enter as many times as you like. Save your creatures to the Workshop before Tuesday, January 16 @ 23:59:59 EST to enter them into the contest! We’ll announce the winners and show off our favorite entries during our next live stream on Friday, January 19 @ 3:30 PM EST. Join us then to see if you’re the lucky winner.

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.

Additional creatures; dragon, goat, sheep, llama and many more.
