It’s still very rough right now, but after 14450221 iterations on the jump and fall detection, we’ve managed to have something that works (well . . . most of the time).

Looks great. Only feedback I’d give is the tail rises a bit fast after the cat jumps up, sometimes the turning looks a bit strange, I think it’s when the cat’s not going forwards, e.g. 0:07 & 0:29 (although I know this is often nicer to control as a player) and personally I prefer the black cat :P… Customisable cats? 😀

hey ! thanks for the feedback, its a pain, i’ve never animated a thing before, you absolutely right about the dirty rotation when he’s not going forwards, we’ve got to solve that.
And yes, you should be able to play with a custom cat! MEOW !!!!

Thanks for replying, I’m glad you didn’t take offense to my criticism, its still infinitely better than I can do 😛 I downloaded the snow scene koola showed yesterday and it ran so smoothly! I’m sure this is going to be one of the best looking games ever 😀

Looks pretty damn good! To continue on with the guy that talked about the cat tail. Should check out Khan Academy course that they set up with pixar for animating.

Awesome. Little feedback though, cat should stop for microsecond or something before jump. Unless it’s running. Thanks!

Wowwww. Just learned about this game today and it’s already one of my ‘most anticipated games.’ Lookin good! I know it’s wayyy too early in the process, but are you guys planning any gameplay besides exploring/platforming? Is there a goal/storyline or will it just be a beautiful-looking exploring game? I already have thoughts of things like ‘hiding by a windowsill and eavesdropping to obtain some clue on how to progress’ or something. Or like a way of hurrying the player along a path could be being chased by another cat or dog, or other such animal, or fall damage which can be regenerated by finding food in the trash or hunting mice/rats…
Of course, you probably have your own direction for the game, and it’ll be awesome… I just like speculating. XD

Yeah I hope that too, that there will be more than just exploring

No, January is the last time for an update? This game, especially the screenshot in the city, looked amazing before. I feel like this game is going to be great. I hope you do more updates, and more often! This is very promising, and I will be checking back when I can!

Hey,
Stumbled upon this today,and i must say this is pretty exciting.I like the concept.
But there’s something bothering me:we don’t know much about what this is.
I mean,excepted the fact that it will be an exploration game set in H.K. with a cat as avatar,we have no info about anything else.
I believe it’s important to know at least what game this will/could be and also,who the dev(s) are.
So i’d recommend you post something about what your objectives are or do a FAQ.
Here’s a list of what i consider as important to know:
-What is the game? What will be the genre? Will there be any objective(s) or a quest/story? What will be the economic model (f2p,pay once,…)? Will it have multiplayer feature? On what support will this game be played? Steam release? Will there be in-game character progression (levelling,…) ?
-Who is the dev or the develloping team? Knowing who you “work” with establishes confidence.Don’t get me wrong I don’t want to stalk you 😀
-Are you planning on kickstarting the game or set up any ways of supporting you economically?
-Ask other people what they’d like to know.
I hope it doesn’t look rude,i don’t want to be rude towards you.
I also really don’t want to force or urge you to do such a thing.
I’d just like to help.
