Player Creatures Spotlight + 20% Loading Fix

As always, we've been inspired (and a little scared) by all the amazing creatures and videos you guys create so it's time once again to spotlight some of our recent favorites! We've also fixed a multiplatform bug that was causing players to get stuck loading at 20%. If you've experienced this in the past, please download the latest update and try again!

Workshop Creatures

You can subscribe to any of these player-created creatures in the Workshop to bring them into your own games! If you'd like to see your own creations in a future spotlight, be sure to share them over on Discord in the #creatures channel. Faux Mantis by Godith Shadowind With paralysis, poison, and quite a bit of speed, this is a creature you don't want to meet in the dead of night. It would definitely make a good companion for exploring, though.

The Krakyn by Berzerkinblaze "An abomination even of this world, the Krakyn is a legendary leviathan feared for its immeasurable power and nightmarish mouth, from which no prey can escape." Uhhh *runs away*

Transport crab by Momo Need to move your homestead to another location? Or just afraid of traveling light? With high endurance and plenty of shelf space, this creature is perfect for protecting your chests on the go.

Hydragon by EvilLizard Laser Eye, Venom Poison, Charge, and Tail Slash. A force to be reckoned with.

Purallergie by Ken The most terrifying enemy of them all: Dander!

Let's Plays

If you want to go on an epic adventure, DanTDM has you covered. See what he and his pal Phillip get up to while trying to survive. Spoiler: there are hijinks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFpLnKD1FpE Mefelz has been doing a whole series of CHKN adventure videos with his friends in multiplayer! They're all a lot of fun to watch even if you don't speak Indonesian. Here's episode #4 where they discover the power of the MECHACHICKEN. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlMF5uXfRk4 To share your videos or streams with us, make sure they're tagged as CHKN and post them on our Discord in #videos so we can get the word out!

Thanks, CHKNeers!

The Art of CHKN

Behold! The miracle of life packed into cubes. CHKN is an open world sandbox game where life itself is your strongest tool. Bring creatures to life by assembling them from body parts, each packed with its own special sauce. Cook up whatever creatures you want and don’t be surprised if your creation has a mind of its own. With Creative, Adventure, and Multiplayer modes, there is an abomination for everyone.

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.
