It’s been awhile since we did a Screenshot Weekend Challenge, and we have been getting asked to bring them back! So, for this weekend:




Extra points if you include a creature who belongs on a farm! And even MORE points if you do this in Adventure Mode.



Time to get creative. Your screenshot may be featured in our newsletter and on social media! Just play CHKN, take a picture with the Steam Overlay and post it to the Community Hub. By next Thursday we will have a winner winner, chicken dinner.

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND EVERYONE!

Can you believe that the summer is almost over? We hope you all had a great one!

As we transition to fall, we want to give you guys a roundup of what we accomplished during the summer and what we are working towards.

Summer was a busy and exciting time for us. After our launch in Early Access April 1st we began cranking out content and fixes almost twice a month, sometimes more. Here are some notable releases:

• In June we introduced your arch enemies, the Poachers! They have continued to terrorize our creatures to no end ever since.
  
• July was a busy month! We started off with a big performance and bug fix patch, all thanks to your bug reports and suggestions. The Mech Dino was introduced mid-July with even more bug fixes! Big props to the development team AND the community for working hand in hand to solve issues.
  
• Creature abilities are very important to us and we put a lot of love and attention into them. This past month we introduced 6 new abilities, and then two weeks later, wolf life blocks and a minor optimization patch!

Besides the work we have been doing on the game, you guys have been hard at work too! We saw tons of Let’s Play videos, Fan Art and Screenshots being made over the summer which inspired us immensely. Team Twitch Streams became an important part of connecting to our players, and it continues to be one of the funniest parts of our work week.



Now that we have gone on our vacations and come up for a breather, we begin our production planning for the next several months, which we will update you on next week. We are taking a break from frequent content additions as well and are hunkering down to tackle both lag and multiplayer. We will have a significant optimization patch to improve game performance and lag some time later this month. If you missed it, we wrote a Dev Log last month updating you guys on our plan for it.

Thank you all for your continued support! We encourage you all to keep creating and keep showing us your crazy creations.

Sincerely,

Team CHKN.

John has been working hard on multiplayer all summer with the help of Unity. This week we are ready to test it out! This Thursday we will be streaming our in-house test during our weekly stream so you could pop in and watch.

Keep in mind that this could go really well or not so good! We may only play multiplayer for a portion of the stream, but that's the fun of it. We are super excited to give it a whirl and see all our progress in action while also looking for things we still have to fix.

Also keep in mind that we still do not have an ETA on multiplayer. This is just our first test run of a very early version of our improved multiplayer. However this is a big step forward!

Thursday, August 25th 12:00PM EST.
Want to know what time it is where you live? Check here.

Tune in to be one of the first to see it in action! Ask us questions, give us suggestions, and see what kind of trouble we get ourselves into this time.
We'll see you there!

We are always trying to find more ways to involve you guys in what we are doing, from surveys to Dev Logs to Twitch Streams. Now we have redone our Road Map and jazzed it up a bit. You can now VOTE on cards on our Trello board!

This will let us know what you are most excited about for the future of CHKN.



First, you have to make a Trello account which is super easy and takes no time at all. Then, read through our Road Map and click the “Vote” button for the cards you really like!

If you want to see something else made that isn’t on the Road Map, then suggest it in the forum! We are always keeping a look out.

• A new map!
  
• Breeding
  
• Avatar Customization
  
• Flying!
  
• Much more.

Do you like these ideas? Then cast your votes! Please remember that the Road Map can change at any time. We look forward to hearing from you!
