Hello Kaingans!
I'm thrilled to unveil the latest addition to your Kainga experience: a DLC support pack! As I alluded to in the last update, I've been working hard drawing alternative versions of all 8 Thinkers in brand-new, stylish outfits!

The main purpose of this DLC is to support development of Kainga going forward so I can continue to expand this weird and exciting world!
Here's a video to share what to expect:

Love Kainga and want to see more? This official Kainga support pack is a cosmetics-only DLC that allows you to switch the outfits of all 8 Thinkers to newly designed alternatives for that extra bit of flair!

Explore parallel designs to the current Thinker outfits, each uniquely envisioned to add a touch of novelty. These designs follow the "B-Side" alternative versions of the Thinkers, released in update 1.1 . While the DLC isn't necessary to play these alternative versions, it does introduce some cosmetic flair to your gameplay!

[h2]Alternative Thinkers? Tell Me More![/h2]

Unlock the "B-Side" of each Thinker for a new starting loadout, three exciting festivals, and a bonus passive technology. Obtain these in the base game by either unlocking all basic technologies, unlocking all Thinkers, or mastering one Thinker. Once achieved, embark on a quest to access the B-Sides of Thinkers – a cool twist to your Kainga experience!

So, if you're yearning to add a touch of sophistication to your Thinkers, this cosmetic DLC awaits!

Important Note: The contents of this Pack are cosmetic only!

Here's a couple more screenshots:
