Player-Created Creature Spotlight!

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. CHKNeer Mokyudog (Haku-san on Discord) has been hard at work getting very creative with Life Blocks! First off is this amazing tank. We're especially fond of the mech-dino-mouth dozers in the front.

by MokyuDog If you're looking for a slightly more traditional creature pal well, Robodog isn't that either since it doesn't actually have any eyes or mouth. But we hear it's still very loyal. Plus, it's really fun to ride. [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1858813411]

Robodog by MokyuDog For something more dragon flavored, marionic6 is a wizard with dragon parts. Check out this hydra. "He will not hesitate to burn you to a crisp if you get too close. You've been warned." Erm, make sure you tame it first. (And browse through marionic's Workshop for other dragony creations.) [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1874435191]

Landia by marionic6 We've spotlighted creator goat before, but we have to do it again. This GOLIATH definitely lives up to its name if its stats are anything to go by. Stay far, far away unless you're really brave. Or want to die for some reason. [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1768935466]

by goat Or maybe you just want a HUGE, friendly pig warrior to watch your back? kim_asplund has you covered. "Do not fight this pig-like giant! He has a deadly hammer!" And also a loin cloth. Nice touch. [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1751696635]

Titan Pig by kim_asplund You can subscribe to any of these player-created creatures in the Workshop to bring them into your own games! (Click on the links and hit the "Subscribe" button, or search for them in-game.)

Thanks again for helping us test our fixes in progress. It helps a ton! And keep sharing all your beautiful/horrifying creations with us! It really keeps us going on long days in the coding dungeons. See you next time. - 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.
