Hello, we're approaching the end of the campaign and we have already reached the 70k€ stretch goal!!!! 🙀 😭
- €50K unlocked: 🏪 Cafe Outside Customization
- €60K unlocked: 🐱 Cat Connections
- €70K unlocked: 💌 Romanceable NPCs
This means that a bunch of characters will become romanceable! Get ready for gift-giving, cute dates, and unique story content for each romanceable NPC! 💌 🥰
If we meet the next stretch goal at €80k (88,205 USD) we will include... Kittens in the game! 😻
🙀 These tiny furballs require a little more care than your average feline... but aren't they CUTE?
💪 Kittens start off with lower stats than most cats, but can become very good little kittens if you spend the time & resources to nurture them.
💖 If certain specific cats get close... your cat cafe might be blessed with a new kitten soon! Be sure to take good care of the parents, too!
We also wanted to share some details about the 🐟😻 Adopting stray cats mechanic!
🧭 Finding a stray cat for the first time will add it to your 📀 Cat-o-Dex.
Different strays will appear in different places. If you forget where you found one, you can easily check your Cat-o-Dex!
🌦️ Some strays will only appear under certain conditions, such as a specific time of day or weather. But don't worry, kind folks in town might give you hints on how to find rare stray cats!
Once you find a stray, you can approach them and start a 🐟😻 Stray Encounter!
These are turn-based encounters where each turn, you decide how to approach the stray. Try to win their Trust without startling them!
✋ Petting a stray cat is a great way to earn lots of Trust, but it may cause them to get skittish and run away!
🥫 Most cats can't resist the allure of cat food. If they look ready to run, lure them back in with their favorite treat.
🐱 Some of your Cat Companions can also help! Having them cuddle and play with the stray can put the them at ease and win their Trust!
For this mechanic, we got inspired by the Pokémon safari zone and other pacifist turn-based RPGs. I hope you look forward to finding all the stray cats and winning their trust!
Here's a sneak peek of the Wallpapers that backers of the 😎COOL CAT tier or above will receive in a few weeks! They will be available in different sizes so you can use them for different screen types and devices! 💖
Finally, we're currently running a new pet contest on X/Twitter and on Discord! We will add one lucky pet to the game, in one way or another. To participate, you can send us your pet picture(s) on this X/Twitter thread or on Discord. We will pick the winner this weekend!
We will be back with another update soon after the campaign is done, to let you know how much we were able to raise, and what the next steps of development will be.
If you want to keep an eye yourself to see if we reach the Kittens stretch goal, you can head directly over to our Kickstarter page.
THANKS SO MUCH EVERYONE!!
Until then! <3
