Made by Circlejourney! I'm a Singaporean web developer based in Australia.
This is a "relaxing downtime activity" gone rogue. One day in the middle of July 2024, I woke up and thought, "What if I made Flight Rising…but with chickens?" The idea would not leave me alone. So I started creating the game, and suddenly, it existed.
The game was simply called "Chimkins" while it was in development, but when it came time to get a domain, I browsed through at least 200 options before finally picking up "chicken.pet". (I was surprised it hadn't been taken.)
This was always meant to be a minimalistic experience, so the speed of updates may be slower than one usually expects. There may be stray bugs across the site that I haven't caught yet. (Hopefully your chickens will catch them, though.)
This game would not have been possible without Twinings English breakfast tea, the Centrifuge server, and everyone who liked the idea from the start. Some notable project dependencies: Laravel 11, ImageMagick, jQuery, node.js, Bootstrap, Ace, Foundation Icons, and SortableJS. Cluck button audio, chicken clucks and chick peeps are from freesound.org. Everything else was created by me.
I'd like to say a huge thank you to my early beta testers, who gave this game its starting push and made it a reality: venula, Galaxynite, Neotheatre, phytodragon, lonestargazer, mada12, crimcrim, LightyearLeder, SketchyCC, and Cerealontherocks.
One of the classic Flight Rising experiences for me is maintenance time landing smack in the middle of the day. So I have decided to give everyone else a taste of the same experience by having the site's day cycle reset at midnight AEST. It's actually a pretty good thing because you can check your nests immediately after maintenance ends.
All words on the site are spelled like in British English, simply because it's what I'm used to.
This game has an "Infinite Chook" stat. That's a real stat you can have that gives you infinite chickens. Only owners and admins have it right now.
