Happy Year of the Rat! Let's Celebrate with Player Creations.

Whether you've already celebrated the new year or will be celebrating the upcoming Chinese and Lunar New Years (or all of the above!), we wish you a very happy 2020 from Team CHKN! We're celebrating by downloading more amazing player-created creatures. Here are a few of our recent favorites.

Feathery Disaster by Sanderson Vill

That's a LOT of feathers. But don't be fooled! It's just a clever way to distract you from deadly laser eyes. Tricksy dino. It also somehow looks quite fashionable, don't you think?

Cattlesnake by marionic6

Marionic is back with this longboi, aptly named Cattlesnake. From the description: "While this creature may seem like an easy target, it has a pretty solid defense and a mean charge to boot." We can also confirm it makes a great mount creature!

siren head by jasonbala

We thought this was creepy until we actually downloaded it. Then it was terrifying. And awesome. We're not sure how it fares in combat but we're going to try as soon as we work up the courage.

Strider (Half-life 2) by Maciek

Maciek is also kindly contributing to our nightmares with this tallboi based on the Striders from Half-Life 2. If you've played that game, you're probably having flashbacks right now. It's okay; this one is much cuter.

Cyclops (full Gear) by Wombat Nuggets

More pigmen! To round out this list and add to our ever-growing collection of pink humanoids, we give you this pickaxe warrior. Keep this guy on your side. You don't want to see him angry. (Also, hilarious bonus: the pickaxe flops around and it's great.)

You can subscribe to any of these 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.) Modify them, befriend them, or fight them to the death. It's up to you! If you'd like to see your own creations shared in the future, be sure to link them over on Discord in the #creatures channel. Please keep sharing them with us! We love seeing all your creations. Also, just a quick reminder that we're still working on those system upgrades. (As mentioned previously, we're currently focused on fixing lost data/multiplayer issues and improving performance, both of which are big things that require more time to address.) As soon as we have something new for you guys to test, we'll let you know. Thanks for your patience! Happy new year and we wish you great happiness and prosperity in 2020! - 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.

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.
Improved Multiplayer Mode.

Much larger world, with additional biomes and points of interest.
