Door Collision
The closed home object was being used to detect door interaction and collision with the cat, which was not ideal and caused some very odd clipping and use issues. The cat could clip into house and also interact from the back of the house. This was not intended, but cats break rules all the time!
I created a separate, hidden door collision object and used that instead for collision checking and usage, which worked very well! I also modified the collision box of the home to be a bit further out from the house (to prevent too much overlap). The cat can now only enter the house from the front door, when it is unlocked.
Home Sprite
The cat was getting a bit lost in the home sprite when close (they were the same color).
I changed the home sprite size and set it to be a nice lavender color, so hopefully it's a bit easier to see where the cat is in relation to the home.
Pause menu
The cat's claws were still working on paws, I mean pause, and decreasing stamina, which has been fixed.
The cat's energy was also decreasing on pause, which was also fixed because the pause menu is not where cats sleep!
Thank you for reading!
