Hey there strays!
So glad to finally implement the quest and email systems into Mow Meow! Apparently making them work nicely in multiplayer was a challenge. ːTECsweatːːbbtcatː
On this build we have 16 emails and 2 questlines. Please let me know what you think of the UI flow! I mean, I think it's good but... of course I'm going to say that! ːcsdsmileː
The start of the questlines could be better, so if you're stuck here's a hint - one is by standing on the litterbox in the water for a second, the other is by reading the first email, then wait for the emails. ːmoustachepussː
I can't wait to start adding a bunch of NPC questgivers, but before that happens, I need to work on new sections!!!! That will be the next focus. Want to be kept in the loop? Join the Discord or visit the blog. ːpraisesunː

Eventually these codes will be told by NPCs, email or other ways. For the timed ones, the higher level you are, the longer they will last and the quicker the cooldown will be. Here's the ones in this build:

player.setscale 9000 | make player bigger | Timed - size |
itty bitty | make player smaller | Timed - size |
speeditup | makes the player walk really fast and mow a lot faster | Timed - speed |
fly | makes the mowing key/button go up in the air | Timed - gravity |
loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong | makes the player able to extend longer | Timed - stretch |
longcat | makes the player able to extend longer and stay long | Timed - stretch |
show me the money | acquire 444 catnip | Daily |
freenip | acquire 500 catnip | One time |
help me | acquire 555 catnip | One time |
rosebud | acquire 499 catnip | One time |

That's it for now
