Pre-Release Patch: Arena Mode - CHKN Brawl

The all-new Arena Mode (CHKN Brawl) and Creature Collection feature are now on Pre-Release (instructions below). We need your feedback! Test creatures in a new ‘creature brawl’ and tell us your suggestions on the forums or over on our Discord server. We want to know what you think.

v0.6.0 Pre-Release Patch Notes

New Features

New mode: Arena!
- It’s time for a good ol’ fashioned creature brawl. Pick two teams to enter the arena and battle it out in a best-of series format. The last team standing wins.
- Choose creatures from your own creations or find contenders on Steam Workshop.
- Spectate the battle or control creatures directly during the fight.
- Check out our developer stream video where we test out the Arena.
- Note: Multiplayer and more creature abilities coming soon!

Creature Collection Added

Browse, search, add, remove, duplicate, and subscribe to creatures all in one place.
Filter creatures by different stats or search using the text field.
Wild creatures you discover while exploring in Adventure Mode are also added to the Collection under “Discovered”. (NOTE: Currently, all wild creatures are revealed to all profiles while we upgrade Adventure Mode.)
Use the Collection to spawn creatures in Creative Mode or choose challengers in Arena Mode.

New Profile-Based Save System
- Save your progress, game worlds, and creatures to separate player profiles.
  - Creative Mode games are now saved per profile.
  - Adventure Mode games/progress are now linked to a profile. (NOTE: Adventure Mode is currently not available on pre-release.)
- Note: In future, the profile system will track discovered wild creatures per profile and let you bring your profile’s bonded creatures and items with you into multiplayer games.
Test drive of Procedurally Generated Terrain System
- We are testing a new system to randomly generate terrains and more easily create new maps and areas for you to explore in various game modes.
- Note: You’ll see new environments that are a work in progress.

Improvements

Side stepping animations have been added to chicken legs
Gameplay is now paused when loading so you won’t miss any action when playing single player
New foliage system added for improved graphics and better performance
Reduced fog. Go forth and SEE!
Settings are now saved per branch so you can have different settings on Live and Pre-Release.

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.
