Hi everyone!
We want to start off by thanking everyone who has played Chasing Whiskers the past couple of days seeing you all play the game and having fun has been a blast so far and we can't wait to show you what's next.
For transparency, we would like to remind you that this is a student project made over the course of 7 months, meaning we will unfortunately move on to other projects when our academic year comes to an end, but we've really loved working on the game and getting to share it with all of you!
As you all know we just released our game in early access and are hard at work creating a content update for the game to put it into 1.0, as well as fixing some annoying bugs! To keep you all in the loop we would like to share with you our roadmap for the upcoming updates:
We plan to release a new area for you all to explore, something you might have already seen: the Great Cat Tree! Make your way up and experience the world from a whole new perspective! To make your trip down to the jungle worth your while, we will also be scattering hidden collectibles around the world for you to collect and find, which you might be able to exchange for something....
To immerse you all further into becoming a your true diving-grandma selves, we'll be showing our story and narrative some love with a new and updated intro cinematic! New cutscenes and new quests will also be added, ready for you all to help out Ponpon!
The cats will be cared for with new and improved animations and functionality, a new cat type as well as a hat shop to give your cats different hats for them to put on. And new cat fur types will also be added, which you might have seen already in our discord!
We much like yourselves have found some bugs and glitches in our current build that we are aware of and are looking into hopefully fixing in the upcoming update.
On first start up the game indicates load save instead of new save.
Cats can get stuck on geometry sometimes.
Cats that teleport to the player might end up floating in the air.
Players are able to walk on water.
Low quality shadows in parts of the level.
Wide screen is currently not supported.
Playing with a controller won't show the correct icons during the tutorial.
Dialogue options might not be selectable when playing with controller.
The "Coming soon" Achievement cannot be unlocked currently.
Thank you all for playing, and see you soon! And please keep sharing pictures of your cats and cat armies, we love seeing them! ₍^. .^₎⟆
