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 tower. These points of interest are things like NPC's to interact with, Thinker-less camps and new world mysteries and puzzles to be solved!
I have a bunch of ideas for potential points of interest but I'm always open to hearing yours!
Technical Changes
That's the fun stuff, but most of my time has been spent on fixes, keybinds reformatting and restructuring code to allow for things like proper UI and text scale to match standards of the Steam Deck and consoles. That's right! Kainga is getting controller support!
I had a lot of fun coming up with the control scheme and I think I've come up with some clever ideas!
If you want to be one of the first to help test this (and the new content features) be sure to hop on the Discord to keep informed on how you can help!
In addition to that, I'm working on some deeper features that have been highly requested like a sandbox mode, and I'm trying to come up with a good way for players to share the maps they generate!
Summer Sale!

Kainga's currently on one of the deepest sales and seeing all the new players has been great. If you have questions or want to share your own ideas for Kainga the Discord is a great place to chat!
Please keep being awesome and have a wonderful day.
Thanks all,
-Kainga Dev
