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 [url=https://steamcommunity.com/games/420930/announcements/detail/4398281683067945189]last update[/url], 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 learned a lot, and we're still hoping to overcome the hurdles but the truth is that we don't know whether we'll be able to fulfill our original 1.0 goal or if we'll need to pivot our approach entirely. We kept hoping a solution would be right around the corner so we could update you sooner. We can't apologize enough for leaving you in limbo. So what happens now? Well, we're going to continue looking into a plan for the future. In the meantime, we hope anyone that wants to can find joy in what we've built so far, warts and all. And we've come to a point where folks continuing to support us monetarily isn't going to help find answers any faster. So, CHKN will be going free by the end of next week (around the 17th or so). And for those of you who have supported us through thick and thin, we have a small token of our appreciation. After the switch, anyone who purchased the game in Early Access will find a free digital art book available in their Steam library. We hope you enjoy a look at concepts, illustrations, and unreleased work telling the story of the life of CHKN. We're not sure when we'll have new news but we'll continue our quest and you'll be the first to know. Thank you so much for your support. - [i]Team CHKN[/i]
