TODAY!

Woooooooooooo!
I have finally done it; Cat & Mouse is officially ready for launch! I know it has been way too long and I haven't updated anyone in a while, but I have been working tirelessly in the background doing my best to bring C&M to full release. I am legitimately excited to show you what Cat & Mouse has always been in my head. Cat & Mouse releases TODAY! There will be a small increase in the price, but also with the launch I will have it on a fairly significant discount. If you like the game, please tell your friends and grab as many copies launch weekend as possible.

Now, to tell you what I have been working on:

Added:

• Clutter (Physics driven objects)

• Controller Support (All gameplay and Most menu)

• Server Passwords

• Chinese Localization
  

• Spanish Localization (More to come)

• More advanced game options

Even though I have done my best to squash any bugs, I guarantee there will still be one or two floating around, please let me know in the issues section on the Cat & Mouse Discord. Also, if there are any missing translations or issues with translations let me know via Discord.

Also also, I officially opened PH7 Studios LLC, which is the first step to making Game Dev my full time job. I am still committed to adding small updates (maps and bug fixes) to Cat & Mouse for the foreseeable future but PH7 Studios will be starting on their next title Jan 2023. I will make a news announcement when PH7 Studios starts development and where you can follow what's next.

Aaaaaand that's about it. Again, please let your friends know, Cat & Mouse is very much a game you want to play with friends and thanks for playing Cat & Mouse!
