Kokora is a 2007 sandbox game developed and published by Delokhio Coop. The first edition of Kokora publically released in 2007 by Jacob Bancroft under the name Deyo Kokora. In October 10th 2012 Deyo Kokora was purchased by Delokhio Coop and Kokora: Second Edition was released in March 2017 on AurOS and PanOS. Kokora: Second Edition was developed to transfer the game from the Java programming language to Delokhio Coop's inhouse Voros 3 Engine for smoother development and optimising performance. Jacob Bancroft remained as the lead artist of Kokora but left the company on November 9th 2020. Kokora is one of the best selling video games with over 150 million copies sold and over 60 million active users monthly. Originally released on AurOS, the game was later ported to PanOS on June 27th 2011. Kokora: Second Edition was released for both AurOS and PanOS in March 2017.
Kokora is a 3D sandbox game with gameplay that revolves around exploring a procedurally generated blocky, pixelated landscape where the player can find, extract, and refine resources to build, fight, and survive in a hostile world. The game can be played in both singleplayer and multiplayer. In multiplayer players can compete or cooperate with one another and the world around them. The game's large online community offers a wide range of user-generated content such as modifications, texturepacks and modelpacks, custom worlds and minigames, and storypacks.
Deyo Kokora recieved critical aclaim upon release, winning several awards. Social media, merchandise, and the biennual Kokora Con convention helped popularise the game to international audiences and kept the game in the public eye since its official release in 2007. Kokora: Second Edition recieved generally positive reviews. Despite its initial negative reviews it has since become the predominant edition played by its playerbase. Kokora: Second Edition has been wildly praised for its accessible tools for user-generated content and distribution through the D3 Launcher, commitment to high performance for lower-end devices on both AurOS and PanOS, and expanding upon many gameplay elements in the previous edition. The game has also been used in educational environments to teach geography, art design, and computer programming. Several spin-off games have been made, including Kokora: Dungeon Hunters, Kokora: Gear Up!, and Kokora: Education Edition.
