Hello everyone, it has been a while. As you may have noticed, there have been no updates for Chonky in the last few months, and we would like to apologize for that. After spending more and more time fixing little bugs and adding missing features, we decided that Chonky and ourselves needed a break. We are currently creating a new design document for Chonky. Once we have a better grasp on what we want Chonky to be, we will return to active development. Some of the core systems will have to be replaced. Therefore, it might take a while. But rest assured, we will return to our beloved project. With a major rework and a lot of new content.
Best Regards, Enhydra Games
