A box was sticking through the ceiling of the cabin where the body is found. Fixed the collision on the shopping mall reception desk. It was possible for the cutscene at the shopping mall reception to play twice. A conversation in the shopping mall between two NPCs kept playing a
Added subtitles for English, German, Spanish, Italian and French languages. Fixed a bug where the cat would teleport up a wall if the cat was angled upward by just the right amount when it contacted the wall. Fixed many small cosmetic bugs.
If a the cat was walking to a waypoint when the player re-loaded a previous save, the cat would continue to walk to that waypoint after the save was loaded. Adjusted a few level streaming volume whose location and size were not correct, causing streaming levels to occasionally un
Toggle switches used to blink when turned off. It looks like I bumped some code and broke the blinking while fixing thing for 1.26.2.16. I apologize again for such a dumb mistake.
Fixed a mistake with the playground laserbeam. The on/off state was not being saved with the save game. Fixed a mistake with toggle switches. I added an "Enabled" state to allow them to be disabled as opposed to on/off, but when a savegame was loaded the on/off level sequences we
When the cat did a U-turn in a vent the camera would sometimes move outside the vent. This would then cause the level to unload. If the player re-loaded a save in the playground area immediately after playing through it some doors were not reset to their initial positions correct
Fixed some level streaming volumes that were slightly too small. This meant in some situations if the camera was in just the right location a streaming level would unload and the cat would fall through the floor.

+One of the float pool toys in the pool deck managed to float out of the pool and into the land. +A few elevator doors where assigned to the wrong streaming level, causing the game to occasionally crash. +There is an area behind information that I didn't finish but there are door
+As a result of insufficient testing I broke the final cutscene of the game. In order to fix a camera problem when the cat is in the liferaft I changed the trace channel for the cat's walking and jumping from ECC_Visibility to ECC_Camera, which is the right thing to do - I had it
+As you go down the elevator from the training area to the pool deck you can hear the pool deck music. +The mouse input was not being captured immediately when the game started. +Make the fishing boat not appear to be coming out of the water. +Truncate the Syberian hamster conver
I accidentally left the menu option "Play from cat" in the main menu. I apologize for my stupidity.
+Re-arranged the start of the pool deck to better introduce the player to the world. +Fixed a cut and paste bug recursion bug I introduced a few weeks ago. +Make shoulder buttons attack and jump. +Make a separate PS5 settings screen. +If we go to settings during gameplay we don't
+Fixed a crash bug from a player where we couldn't throw a mouse that was in the process of being destroyed by the garbage collector. I assume the cat was carrying the mouse it picked up in a level that was now unloading then attempted to throw it. +Put posters in the passenger e
+Fix the problem where we have boom sound in some areas when we load a game, because the audio volumes are turning down sounds over a second. +Put a light in the first part of the pipe room just past the vent so the player can see the floor. +Move the crew discussing cargo furthe
-Changed the way the opening title level is loaded to not block the main thread, and also to wait until all required shaders are compiled. -Added a message on the loading screen showing the number of shaders still to compile so the player doesn't think the game has stopped respon
After a year of work there is now a major update to the game. Most of the game has been updated or improved in some way, mainly involving new or better assets, animation, audio and level structure. Some areas are new, most have been re-arranged to make things clearer or more fun.
Pre-compiling of shaders had been turned off during debugging and was not turned on for the production build. This makes the game stutter and look bad. I apologise for such an obvious bug.
This is a large update for Ship's Cat. Most areas have been updated, animations have been improved, music has been added, in the whole game has been polished. Specifically: There is a new training area. New cat attack animations and effects. More interaction with humans. The play
The NPC head controller was attempting to look at another NPC when the level was unloading, meaning the UE4 garbage collector nulled that other NPC's pointer. This caused causing a null pointer crash.
