[OogieBoogie765 12]

OMG Its so totally adorable Makes me wanna play it soooo bad. I will wait for said demo for millenia if necessary ^-^, but on a more serious note... Keep up the amazing work 

[+ Lyla 41]

It's official. I am supporting this ... even if I can't around to playing it any time soon. This game is too cute to not be supported. Kitties for life~  <3

[Nyapurgisnacht 152]

Thank you so much again for checking this out, I appreciate it more than you will ever know~ Sorry that I'm not too great at responding individually, for all I can say is thank you en masse, I wish I could keep all of you in a precious Chinese box.

 

Although it's mostly the kitties that deserve credit I think, I do wuv those kitties <3

 

I just fixed up the top-post a bit:

+ I've added a sizable update to the story, since I have a pretty clear idea of where I'm going with this now.
+ And the credits.
+ I'll be updating those outdated screenshots very shortly! (My print-screen key is missing suddenly )

 

Thank you very much to my wonderful, most helpful playtesters, who have been incredibly patient with my pain-in-the-assness, and helped make this game so much better than it was a few weeks ago. From their help, I don't think it'll be a problem releasing the demo within the next 13 days.

 

-Pulls cap backwards-
There's only a few things left I HAVE to finish before the demo is out, but I'm glad to say it's chuggin' along nicely.

 

My plans, zey are slowly coming to fruition. Slooowly.

 

RELEASE EDIT: I'll be taking about two more weeks to finish some artsy nuances. I really hate to make more delays, but I think it must be done.

Woohoo! I appear on the credits xD (I honestly wasn't expecting that, thanks!).

 

And I'm sorry I can't help you with testing at the time I'll make sure to play the disinfected DEMO once it's out and give proper feedback

(About) Demo Update

 

rough scene concept

 

It's been forever since I updated the thread o.o;

The demo is just about done enough for me to feel okay with showing it to y'all. Just some continuity errors to fix up, some enemies to program, and two little scenes, and we're good to go ^o.o^
 

I decided to release the demo soonish, and make just one update a while later for any bug fixes and for a feature update. Then I'll be working on the full version for a while. I've managed to condense the design into something feasible to complete. Thanks for sticking with me~

 

About the Demo:

The clock will be passive during the beginning tutorial. Time will pass by completing certain tasks.

After the tutorial is complete, the clock will change active, where time will pass naturally and it will be up to the player to decide how to spend Kitty’s numbered days. There will be more to see within the demo after the tutorial is finished!

The tutorial will be story-heavy, where a setting will be established. The story will center around Kitty and her kittens after the tutorial.

The focus instead will be on gameplay post-tutorial, with optional stories interspersed throughout the world that will have rewards for completing.

 

Progress Notes:

Wrote out a design doc, along with writing out all the text from the game (meaning less time rearranging things in the editor; it's much easier for me to make edits this way, so I have a faster process down!)

Several sprites have been retouched

Menu graphics updated
Database being filled
Most mapping has been redone
Boss is implemented
Story revised
Survival is more fluid
Traits - Love, Guilt
Kitty Sensibilities: Innate Sense, Natural Empathy
Kittens can get bored and lonely. Kitty can groom the kittens, and play with them using toys.
New interactions with kittens
Help-messages are optional

Skip cutscenes function

 

Features that will be included in a demo update:

New original sprites for Kitty and the kittens.

Castle Town - slightly higher difficulty
Diseases and Injuries
Aging
Jumping
Meowing

Pouncing
Traits - Hunting, Food Sense

(and of course any bug fixes and minor changes that may happen)
 

Also, thank you Izu for giving me some pointers on parallax mapping that helped a great deal, and Noyemi K. for some awesome tunes that'll be featured <3

 

I'll be working hard ^^

I'm really eager to try this out to be honest. I've seen it here and on another RPG Maker site, and I really do look forward to a demo release.

After reading your above post about those updates, I hope you give your demo the go-ahead so we can play!

 

*paces back and forth eagerly*

Thanks for checking it out ^^ The content is all there, just running it through some tests right now.

 

Just to make sure, are you talking about its page here?

[+ Takeo212 1,079]

Yep, that's the site

Yesterday I'm sure through random RPG Maker searches, I found your game a few times on here and rpgmaker.net.

It's a sign of awesome lol.

 

Glad to here, I'm sure many of us are looking forward to a bundle of cat rpg'ing! 

I've been looking for a good survival (no zombies) and crafting game, and so far you have my attention :3

 

Also, my cat is ginger so the kittens make me think of him Except my cats fat and lazy - those kittens are adorable and cute!

[Meinos Kaen 12]

... On one hand, I like the idea.

 

On the other, I get a very Watership Down feel from this.

[Nyapurgisnacht 152]

@Takeo:

There will totally be crafting in the full-version! I'm thinking about just not doing this- But it's up in the air for now, we'll see.

"A fat cat's a happy cat," they say ;3

Huh, I've never read it, but from looking at the description on wiki, the game definitely isn't an epic, and Kitty and her kittens are simply cats, no talking. Just purrs and meows, the staple cat-stuff~

This is Pure Sass!!!! i love it!, sassy games about cats call my attention every time!. Keep up the good work! :3

[Zen Blood 70]

Ooo, another cat game!
I can't wait to see the demo.

[Saeryen 299]

This looks pretty cool! I love cats, so I will definitely support this.

[Rikifive 3,411]

What a cute game! =3

Your game looks and sounds interesting! =]

This definitely will be fun to play! =3

Keep it up and good luck! =)

[Nyapurgisnacht 152]

So a bunch of stuff!

 

A while back in July I decided to restart, the project file itself was messy, the game was laggy with a million bugs, it was felt like a prologue more than anything, I just generally wasn't happy with it.
I got the base of the whole thing down for the rest of July, and took a break for my health during August (a month off did wonders, and I was able to study more into Ruby and mapping and other things that I could simply look at~ )

Last month I got a surprise real-life kitten, so I was busy with that, but a few things did wind up getting done. It's been great research material, in a sense!

 

Just as a brief update: The game looks and runs waaaaay better than everything my poor playtesters had to dredge through, if I say so myself xp

 

The one thing I want to do but keep putting off is a sprite for my little MC, I might wind up running that by the forums to try and get that looking nice.

 

Either way, I'd like to get this done before the year is up. Thanks for sticking around <3

 

BUT WAIT

 

 

Here's pictures of my cats!!! The new kitten's name is Hopeless, from how she was acting when I found her, and Tsuki is still a pretty-Tsuki-kitty.

 

Look at how cute they are. LOOK AT THEM.

 

 

 

And look! Hopeless is starting to copy Tsuki!

 

 

 

 

[Thejaxinator 106]

take your time with this anyway i can wait

[Thejaxinator 106]

Everything going ok?

[Nyapurgisnacht 152]

Everything going ok?

 

Yes!! Thank you so much for asking! I had a lot of RL stuff sort of pile on at once and I needed to sort out some things. I'm still taking a hiatus but things are better now, I'm planning on coming back to developing next month ;3

This game sounds both adorable and thoughtful! I think it's neat that you act as more of a guide for Kitty than as Kitty herself, and that you have to appeal to her animal instincts from time to time. I'm interested to see how you will handle themes of animal abuse from a cat's perspective.

 

Those kittens in a basket in that one screenshot are way too cute. Wonderful lighting effects, too! They really give the areas life.

 

You have my support! I am so down for an open-world kitty adventure. Hopefully that RL stuff settles down soon and you can get back into it. Until then, have a nice hiatus! :>

[Nyapurgisnacht 152]

 

Oh my I haven't updated the thread in a while. I was off hiatus for a while, but uh, I'll just retoast the news I added to the gamejolt page yesterday. I know a lot of us are probably in the same boat here, the support I've already received has been wonderful, I don't want anyone to feel obligated, just an update on things <3

Kitty Survival Sim Needs Help!

Development was going smoothly, most of the programming is out of the way, and I’ve moved on to creating every map for the game, and there is a LOT.

However, as I've mentioned before, I’m the sole developer of Kitty Survival Simulator, and my health issues and real-life matters have made development slow. And now, unfortunately I'm experiencing some technical difficulties, that temporarily inhibit me from working on the game.

Long story short- I no longer have a working computer. I can’t afford another one right now because I have no income of any kind and I’m entirely broke.

Kitty Survival Simulator will always be a free game. BUT I need a computer to make it.

So please consider donating to my new Patreon. All I need is a cheap but decent desktop PC to continue development.

You'll of course be directly helping the development of Kitty Survival Sim, as well as any future projects I’ll be developing or aiding in the development of.

You’ll also get perks for being a Patron!

Obviously, the more donations received, the faster development will be able to continue.

Please don’t feel obligated to pledge anything, I’m not hanging any sort ultimatum over your head, I have no intention of cancelling the project!

I just… Could really use the help, because I don’t know when I’d be able to get a computer otherwise.

Anything you're willing to give, I will forever appreciate from the bottom of my heart, I know I’m already asking for a lot from this lovely community ;-;

Until I do have a computer, I sincerely appreciate your continued interest and your patience~

Thank you <3
Nya


 

 

 

 

All taken care of, no worries~

[CSEmber 9]

It doesn't look like your Patreon has had any luck. Are you still having trouble?

[Nyapurgisnacht 152]

Heya, thanks for asking!

 

Nope! It took a while but things have begun to sort themselves out ^^

 

I have a computer! A nice desktop even! Woo!

 

Kitty Survival Simulator is still on my dead laptop! Boo!

 

But that's okay! There's still things I have to take care of, but getting that and everything else off my old laptop is on the list~ I STILL want to finish Kitty Sim!

 

I'm keeping myself busy with other things in the meantime ^^

 

Thanks again for checking in~
