Hello Villagers!

I've just announced the Full launch release on 6th December - as you have supported me throughout Early Access, I wanted you to experience what I’ve been working on before full launch.

Take a look at the patch notes from the biggest update so far! So much has changed since the last update as I build the foundations for Version 1.0 and prepare to bring Kainga out of Early Access.

Let's dive into a handful of improvements below.

NEW SKYLOFT HUB
The Skyloft has been completely reimagined and redesigned. There is more room for activities here, where the full roster of Thinkers can now chat and discuss their challenges.

[h2]ANNOUNCEMENT TRAILER[/h2]

Today I’m really excited to announce the official release date of Kainga!

Kainga will be leaving Early Access on December 6th, and Version 1.0 coming to Steam!

This game has been a passion project of mine for years, and finally seeing Kainga out in the world is both terrifying and exciting at the same time!

Firstly, a huge thank you is in order to the early supporters. For believing in Kainga and helping me shape the game. I appreciate everyone for being there for encouragement and support to make my dream become a reality. Being a solo indie developer can be challenging, and you’ve kept me going during the development! Kainga wouldn’t be the game it is today without YOU!

The game has come a long way from its Early Access launch. Looking back just 1 year ago, it's incredible the amount of change that has taken place. The full version of Kainga contains over 300 technologies, 8 maps, 8 Thinkers, a 22 song soundtrack, and dozens of hours of interesting gameplay.

[h2]KAINGA COLLECTOR'S EDITION[/h2]

I’m also launching a Collector’s Edition of the game soon, allowing you to support me further and get even more immersed in the world that has been created.

See you out in the wild lands of Kainga!
