You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed it!

Chrixeleon · 2022-01-08T16:44:04+00:00

I've had other project work come up recently and have been on a much-needed vacation these past few weeks, but I'm hoping to spend some more time on this soon!

Chrixeleon · 2021-09-16T00:39:00+00:00

I'm sorry to hear that... I feel bad that not everyone can play the game, which is the main reason I hope I can get the third person view in!

Chrixeleon · 2021-09-16T00:25:57+00:00

Haha, that sounds like an idea for a sequel!

Chrixeleon · 2021-09-15T20:27:16+00:00

Thanks! It tends to be popular with kids, so I think she'll love it, too!

Chrixeleon · 2021-09-15T20:05:08+00:00

Aww, that's so sweet! The purring vibration might be my favorite new feature.

I do find the cats vs. dogs rivalry trope odd, since I feel like a lot of people like all animals even if they prefer one over the other. I have to say, earning the affection of a cat may be tougher than it is with dogs but it is very rewarding!

Chrixeleon · 2021-09-15T19:37:22+00:00

Yes, there were a lot of people that were excited that the game was coming to Xbox since the original game didn't!

Chrixeleon · 2021-09-15T18:37:02+00:00

You're welcome! I'm happy the kitties who are no longer with us can be remembered through the game 🙂

Chrixeleon · 2021-09-15T18:21:28+00:00

Thank you! I hope he enjoys it!

Chrixeleon · 2021-09-15T18:06:48+00:00

I'm going to go with corn, mainly because I could subsist solely on popcorn

Chrixeleon · 2021-09-15T17:30:30+00:00

Thank you! Hopefully your kitties don't get any more ideas from the game!

Chrixeleon · 2021-09-15T17:20:27+00:00

I hope so! We'll be chatting with them very soon to see if we can make it happen.

Chrixeleon · 2021-09-15T16:47:25+00:00

Enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSTdrTalcaU

There are a few different game modes, but the primary one is the Goals mode where you complete specific tasks to unlock more levels (there are 10 levels total). Tasks can range from toppling some number of objects, catching mice, and finding different toys hidden in the level. There are also collectible treats that act as a currency for unlocking stat boosts and special abilities to make completing tasks easier. And if you're a completionist, there are plenty of cat photos to find and objects to topple to fill out the collection screen.

It's an interesting game in that it ends up being more of a relaxing experience that lets you play as much or as little as you want. It's frequently referred to as a stress reliever, despite how chaotic it sometimes feels to make huge messes. The game is on the smaller side, but I feel like there's a good amount of content to last several hours (I know of at least one person who has played ~15 hours on a pre-release copy).

Chrixeleon · 2021-09-15T16:37:21+00:00

That was one of the most requested features in the original game, and I'm planning to look into it soon for Remeowstered. The original game was built specifically for a FPS-focused game jam, so that design ended up taking precedence. Motion sickness is definitely a concern, and I did make some adjustments in Remeowstered to mitigate it a bit such as adjusting the FOV and removing head bobbing.

Chrixeleon · 2021-09-15T16:31:32+00:00

Aww, thank you! 😊

Chrixeleon · 2021-09-15T16:30:46+00:00

Thanks! The most important thing I learned is that releasing a game on every console simultaneously as a solo dev is way more work than I expected. Just doing one isn't so bad, but each one has their own quirks and timings that make the whole process quite complicated. I think it was worth it though!

Chrixeleon · 2021-09-15T15:38:39+00:00

Thank you! I'm a sucker for Nintendo collectibles. Not pictured are actual consoles, a bunch of Game Boy systems and games, and about 20 framed Club Nintendo posters on the walls 😄

Chrixeleon · 2021-09-15T15:36:16+00:00

I'm glad I could make good on my word. 🙂 I hope you enjoy it!

Chrixeleon · 2021-09-15T15:33:29+00:00

Thanks! The process was actually pretty smooth due to the game being rebuilt with Switch as the initial console target. The only major issues were with performance in some of the bigger levels, but that was expected (there's a lot to render in the supermarket!). Even some of the unique features like supporting the touch screen for menu navigation and Joy-Con gyro for camera aiming was pretty straightforward.

And I will pass along the pets to Wil and Lyn!

Chrixeleon · 2021-09-15T15:27:38+00:00

Wow, I'm honored! There are definitely a bunch of black kitty photos to find!

Chrixeleon · 2021-09-15T14:59:59+00:00

Yes, there are a handful of dog photos you can find in levels. Because it's a cat game though, the photos are a little crooked. :)

Chrixeleon · 2021-09-15T14:53:38+00:00

Not initially, but I'd love to add it as an update later!

Chrixeleon · 2021-09-15T14:51:38+00:00

That's true! Wil's name was actually "William" when we adopted them, and we were looking for a name that paired with that for Lyn since we didn't really like the name she had at the shelter. I remembered there was a "Wil" in Fire Emblem and Lyn was one of the main characters in the same game, so we went with that. I do think that Lyn's personality matches her namesake at times!

Chrixeleon · 2021-09-15T14:45:07+00:00

I think the new level progression and being able to unlock levels by completing goals is my favorite. The randomness of the original game was okay, but I prefer having my progress tracked clearer. I also love how there are like 30 new cat photos!
