Hi, friends. We have a sort-of-update for you, which has definitely been a long time coming. We're incredibly sorry (and embarrassed, frankly) that it's taken this long but we'll get to that. If you read our last update, you know we ran into some big hurdles and were working on solutions. Today's update is that, while we've ruled out a lot of options (which is good), we haven't been able to find that elusive answer on how best to move forward. We're still absolutely in love with CHKN and this idea of bringing life to the creative building genre, so we're not giving up. We've made mistakes and

Since it's officially SPOOKY SEASON, we wanted to share some special community creations to help celebrate. (It's really just an excuse to look at more of your creatures because we love seeing what you guys make but shhh.) Real quick though: thank you for your kind words and understanding on our last post. You guys are amazing and we truly appreciate all the support. Thanks for sticking with us. Hope you're all staying safe!

“What is happening with progress on the game?” There are some fair questions over on the Discord. We firstly want to say that we love you guys and CHKN! And we're still committed to the game. We're a very small team and we've run into some pretty big issues with some really tough decisions to make. And then 2020 happened, so we've also been a bit distracted by real life to be honest. (We hope you're all doing well!) Here's where we stand: We're adjusting our roadmap for a version 1.0 release: adding some key features; more content and creatures; balancing for continual progression; making the

April 1st is CHKN's birthday! Seriously, it's not an April Fool's gag. Though it's kind of a fitting birthday, don't you think?

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 Villé 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.
