Yeah this was cute.  At one point I found myself thinking "what are you doing? get back to work hairball!".  Agree with theStoff, you should totally make the yearn balls purchasable, and let you place them efficiently near cats.  Different cat personalities would be interesting too.

That was the EXACT feeling I wanted. I was like "What would it feel like to try and get a pile of kittens to do literally anything coordinated." There was plans to allow all the creative elements, like being able to purchase and place all the elements yourself, you'd start with a single cubicle, and then you'd have to buy kitchen appliances, and food, and then toys, buy new cubicle space, maybe upgrade the size of the office to fit everything. But yeah the AI just took like 14ish hours of work to get even to a barely functional level, and when you consider I did 2 12-hour days, that didn't leave a lot of time for almost any other feature. It almost even only had 1 cat in it!

This was good fun haha. Only thing is it'd be nice if you set some goals or had more things you could get with your money.

Thanks! I wanted to do more with the purchasing elements and such, the original goal was to start with one cat and one cubicle, and you had to buy office space, new cubicles, hire cats, entertainment, buy kitchen equipment, all these things were supposed to factor in to overall happiness and such. Getting nicer items would mean more happiness etc. Sadly getting the AI sorted out took WAY longer than I expected, so I never had time to add all the extra purchasables.
