Same World, Different GameTo those who don't know, I am a solo-developer, and for the past few years I've been working on a type of spin-off of Kainga's world in my new game, ShantyTown.Set in the far future, you play as a government surveyor traveling around different areas of this tropical island, documenting unplanned urban development in a dossier. As a player you have to:Place items one at a time to create dense urban dioramasTake a photo of your creationsMove on to the next location with a new set of items to do it againThis is much more of a cozy game than Kainga, but I think fans may e

Hello Kainga fans! I'm sorry that the last major update had a huge visual issue with the tooltips not disappearing for most players. But long story short, it has been fixed! This was exceedingly difficult to track down, as I was one of the few people NOT experiencing it, but I eventually found it and solved it (even if it took more than 2 weeks).If you want to know the details: the problem was in a UI optimization I was attempting to make in the main HUD using an "Invalidation Box" which saves on UI refresh rates. But I didn't realize this was causing Tooltips to not hide themselves properly (

Hello Kaingans! As a solo developer, it is often hard to choose what to do with the limited time I have, and a lot of that time has been dedicated to my new project, the cozy urban building game ShantyTown which has just launched a Demo (check it out!) Every time I work on Kainga, I'm reminded of what makes this game so magical: The World. So I'm happy to finally release the next update which focuses on just that, the world of Kainga! Introducing Kainga Update 1.2! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37098409/0de38b470cf506c8c54cd348bf4d2ebaa8cbaf7e.png What's New in the Update? Here's a brief list of just a f

Happy New Years, Kainga fans! I’m here to finally give you some big news about the future of Kainga: Seeds of Civilization and what to expect in 2025! Kainga Update 1.2 I’ve been working on bringing some exciting new features to the game, including new creatures, technologies, and the new points of interest system. I've also been trying to add controller support which has proven to be more difficult than I expected, but I’m making progress on it. More news on this to come, and if you want to try out the new update and help find issues, you can join the BETA branch and reach out on Discord! {ST

Hello all! I thought I'd pop by to give a little update on what's being worked on in the world of Kainga: Seeds of Civilization! New Content First things first, there are a few houses in the game that are currently not unlockable but a teaser to what's coming up. I should have hidden them but I didn't :) sorry! I'm working on quite a bit for update 1.2 which of course includes new technologies, beasts and map modifiers. The main thing I'm working on is what I'm calling "Points of Interest" which are locations that can spawn on any map similar to the Belowlands Karma Shop or the Necromancer's t
