Story:

 

 

Kitty Survival Simulator features the player as a mother cat named Kitty, and her three kittens. Kitty loves her kittens, and she'll go through any lengths to keep them alive.

There is references to what we would now consider animal abuse, the world is out to get Kitty in one way or another. It's a cruel world, and even crueler for a cat.

You act as a guiding conscious for Kitty. There are times when her instincts will overpower you, and certain objectives must be fulfilled in order for Kitty to feel safe enough to progress. Though Kitty is silent, she is full of thought and wonder for the world around her, and her years of surviving gives her strong feelings you can interpret and act upon. With your cooperation, Kitty can help you decide what way the world bends.

 

There is an essence of choice- You are free to spend Kittys' numbered days killing the few mice right around her slum home. Progression overall is optional, and it is encouraged to explore and take things at any pace.

 

But there's so much to explore! Things to eat! Fights to win! Who knows what Kitty could accomplish through a simple purr or hiss?

Screenshots:

 

These screenies are from the very first version I had of the game, and desperately need to be updated ;-;

They're so old oh god help

 
Features:

Multiple endings

 

Survival is key- Though hunger, thirst, and fatigue will always be a constant worry for Kitty and her kittens, everything from temperatures to diseases to loneliness could take their toll upon Kitty.

 

You will also need to carefully choose what Kitty puts in her body, and you'll even find ways to prevent ailments and disease.

 

The world changes drastically during the day and night. Everyone operates on a schedule, and certain events only happen at certain times and certain days.

 

Open-world

 

Fast paced, live and interact day by day, hour by hour.

Awww--this looks sweeet owo I love the screenie with the little kittens all together! Them feels when I see small cute animals ><

 

Also, I LOVE your windowskin. :3

[Nyapurgisnacht 152]

Woop, thanks for the kind words and your approval~ Always nice to see others that are interested in the small cutes, and the kittieeeeeesssss x3

[Knighterius 502]

Oh wow!! This game is super cool!!! ^~^ I love the fact you just get to play as a cat. My sister, back when she had heaps of time and no life, made a game similar to this but I love the dialogue for yours! ^~^ eee I can't wait til you have a demo! this game seems delicious!

[Tejas 35]

Waiting for it to be released I really do love Sims games, now its time to try a Cat Simulator!!!   

[Nyapurgisnacht 152]

Thanks guys ^^ Just so everyone knows any feedback is always appreciated~

@Knighterius: Oh, is your sisters game playable anywhere? You've intrigued me.
@Tejas: I like Sims games too x3 What a coinky-dink right? Hope you'll enjoy it when it's done

Update time!

I've added some new and updated screenshots with effects and such. I've also updated the credits list.

Some tidbits of the progress so far-

The Night/Day transition works, along with lighting.
Plot/game progression events are 90% complete in the Castle.
50% of the first "zone" out of four is mapped and scripted.
There's now a "Run" option in dialogue choices, which has various effects.
The player dies when they are killed. (As it should be.)
Survival implemented and running beautifully! Aw yeah.
Enemies now do... Stuff. You'll just have to see.
The font is prettied up and it's a little big to accommodate to those with poor eyesight like myself.

And I made my own title screen/logo-type-thing. Snazzy right?


I'm making this a little more expansive than I originally intended, but I'm pressing forward at a good pace and I think I can stay true to my "demo release in a few months" goal.

Looking good! ^~^ A nice update indeed. x) 

And no, my sister never posted the game xDD There wasn't really enough for it to actually be a game anyway. A cat wakes on this beach walks into a cave the cave is all weird and then jumps down this thingo and falls and then finds the exit to the cave and then escapes and makes friends with a dog and then there is a save point which is a bunch of scarecrows but you have to find the right one and if you don't you can't save for the whole entire game. Then you go in this room and the cat has a flash back of this girl and then you leave and go into this fortress and then there is a thousand people walking around really fast but you have to catch the girl you saw in the flashback and once you do it ends x)

[Nyapurgisnacht 152]

Well that's a shame, it sounds cute. If a little linear I suppose xD Hmmm, I kinda like that scarecrow thing though *scratches chin thoughtfully.* I might have to use that in some other game someday xp

[Knighterius 502]

Oh! And I forgot to mention! I really love your titlescreen! ^~^ So cayute!

xD By all means! I think I'd have have to show the game to her if you ever did put it into a game x) hehe

[Nyapurgisnacht 152]

Not much of an update, but I added a support button.
Just, you know, in case anyone thinks this project is worth the trouble~

[Knighterius 502]

Worth my trouble indeed. 

[raymi100 291]

I'm so sorry for replying so late But this game looks amazing! Your screenies are adorable~ I can't wait to see more of what you're planning to do with this game

 

I'm supporting~ :3 *puts support bar in my siggy*

[Nyapurgisnacht 152]

Wah, thank you ^o.o^ How about I like, put your game in my sig too then? Yeah, how do you like dem apples.

[raymi100 291]

I would love that hehe, thank you XD

[Sessie 34]

Such a cute and cool idea! I can't wait to see how it progresses~
Totally looking forward to a demo

Thank you so much x3 I'm looking forward to having you look at my demo xD Also, welcome to the community

 

 

Update! (Sorta)

Things are coming along quite nicely:

 

I'm still fine-tuning events and balancing the difficulty out. Puzzles are supposed to take thinking, after all. How might a pretty kitty solve her problems?

There's a few fun new mechanics now, like meowing at stuff, and breaking things with your little kitty clawsies.

Everything is being prettied up. The game isn't so freakin' dark now, but it's moodier.

AND MOOOORE~~

 

And, I think I may be able to release a demo soonish ;3

 

Aaaand I'm updating the credits again.

 

That's all <3

[Darthneko 7]

This looks great! I love the idea, totally stalking this thread for a demo.  

[Nyapurgisnacht 152]

Thank yooooou <3 I appreciate your stalking :3

 

The demo, it approaches on the winds, I can feel it in my bones.

[SinfulBeauty 95]

OMG! I can't wait for the demo! <(O3O)>

[Allusion 398]

*squeals* This project looks so amazing! And adorable! And astounding! I will definitely be following this project, and I'm looking forward to the demo release~ Those kittens are so freaking cute~<3 I feel protective of them already. Maternal mode invoked. Come at me, brah. 

 

*supports* 

[_____ 214]

looks great, very nice

[Nyapurgisnacht 152]

Yo guys, thank you for the support! And if any of the people who have made/ are making custom stuff for me happens to see this, I love you all and your brilliant, wonderful minds ;-; I wouldn't be done with this for years if I was all by myself, but it's coming along nice and quick.

 

A few things I'm working on that I want to include in the demo are:

 

+ Kitty will be effected by various "statuses" depending on her hunger, thirst, and sleep levels. More incentive to keep Kitty healthy.
+Good choice in foods and clean water will be imperative to keeping Kitty's health well.

+'Loneliness' trait that will effect the kittens, and a 'guilt' trait that will effect Kitty. Some things will be harder to deal with than others, and guilt can be cumbersome...

+ New equipment, new things to kill and eat, more repercussions.

+ For progression, there's a simple storyline that doesn't require much effort to get through.
+ Several completely optional storylines, with huge rewards if you take the time to go through them. Kitty plays a part in deciding the outcomes.
+ An optional boss!
+ And another optional boss!

+ A secret, optional dungeon

+ Cleaner graphics overall.

 

Silly-times! Heartbreak! Kitties being kitties! Oh the drama!

I want to show you all something fun with lots of content until the game is totally complete. For it will be a journey of epic proportions, I have so many ideas ^o.o^

Thanks again for all the support <3

 

And so we continue to march ever onwards!

"For Glory!"
"For Kitties!!"

 

TL;DR

 

Demo soonish, thanks for all the support, hugs and wuv all around <3
