Hi everyone!

I’m excited to share the first look at my new 2D action game: The Defiant Cat — a story about a brave and rebellious cat fighting to survive in a world on the edge of chaos.

This project is still in development, but I’ve been working on defining the game’s atmosphere, mechanics, and emotional tone. My goal is to combine fast-paced action, mystery, and a strong sense of adventure.

Here’s what I’ve been working on so far:

• 🎮 Core movement and attack systems

• 🌆 Early stage designs and environments

• 🎭 Story elements about resistance and courage

• 🎨 Visual direction for the main character and enemies

This devlog will be updated as I make progress — I plan to share new visuals, gameplay details, and maybe even short clips later on.

What kind of abilities or mechanics would you like to see in a game like this? I’d love to hear your feedback and ideas!

You can check out the current demo to see these mechanics in action: https://joao-acelino-official.itch.io/the-defiant-cat-demo

🐾 Running for Freedom – Updates on The Defiant Cat Demo

Hey everyone! 👋

Since releasing the demo, I’ve been focusing on making the dog chase sequence feel even more intense and realistic. It’s the heart of the experience right now — where every step counts, and every sound could mean danger. 🐕💨

I’ve been improving lighting, camera movement, and sound effects to make the tension grow as you run. Even though it’s still a short single-player demo, I want every second to keep players on edge.

Here’s a quick look at how the scene is shaping up 👇

🐾 Any ideas for what could make it feel even more immersive?

Thanks again for following the journey of The Defiant Cat!
Your feedback keeps this project moving forward. 💛
