Kokora is a 2017 sandbox game developed and published by Delokhio Coop with the first edition publically released in 2008 by Jacob Bancroft under the name Deyo Kokora. In October 10th 2012 Deyo Kokora was purchased by Delokhio Coop and Kokora: Second Edition officially released in March 2017 on AurOS and PanOS. The reason for the development of Kokora: Second Edition was to transfer the game from the Java programming language to Delokhio Coop's inhouse Voros 3 Engine for smoother development and optimised performance. Jacob Bancroft remained as lead artist of Kokora but left the company on November 9th 2020. Kokora Deyo was taken off the Delokhio Coop website on January 8th 2018 and development ceased in December 9th 2019. 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 within 9 days of each other.
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, depending on the gamemode, 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 2011. Kokora: Second Edition recieved generally positive reviews. Although it was initially viewed negatively by its online community 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 Kokora 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: Geared Up, and Kokora: Education Edition.
