Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone!
Hopefully, Cat Powered UFO will finished by early next year, as for me I'm off on holiday!
I'm thinking of hiring someone to redo the little cartoon at the end of my game - Cat Powered UFO

Happy to talk to you further if you are interested! :)
Cat Powered UFO is a wacky little RPG where you collect cats and fly to weird and wonderful dimensions!

I've started making little update videos and thought I would share them here on Itch.io!

Thanks so much for playtesting for Cat Powered UFO!
To other developers reading this.
If you are serious about making your game as good as possible I highly recommend gamercomposer.
He makes videos of himself playing your game and speaks his moment-to-moment thoughts for you.
This is really useful, it's likely you'll have many oversights in your design that you are completely blind to.
Seeing someone else play your game in real time helps identify these blind spots.
Thats so creative and fun!
Ok, I have something to confess...
I do already have a game called Cat Powered UFO.
I was interested to see what you would think up without any context, and I must say I'm not disappointed! xD
If you did want to check out Cat Powered UFO, don't pay for it, just go for the version with 2024 in the name. That's the latest version. (I won't link it because I feel that distracts from the true purpose of your thread)
Thanks so much! :D I kinda wish I had asked you before I made the game lol!
I have a 2D project called Cat Powered UFO, I've made some big changes recently and could use some testing from fresh eyes.
https://thesneak.itch.io/cat-powered-ufo
"Cat-Powered UFO 2024 0.6.zip96 MB" is the version that needs testing.
I understand that a 2D project was not your preference, but if you liked Earthbound or Undertale you might enjoy playing Cat Powered UFO :)
Even if you don't end up testing it, thanks so much for helping devs here on itch! So many people want their games tested but so few are willing to test others.
Please roast my graphics. No, seriously I need the feedback!
Cat Powered UFO's update charges on!
And it's not just graphics. I've been tinkering with gameplay as well.
I'm going to be redoing some of the weaker levels like the car race and water scenes, and I'm making the non-turn-based battles scale with your chosen difficulty setting.
Thanks very much to anyone who can give feedback of any kind! :)
Cat Powered UFO is getting a makeover.
What are your thoughts on the changes?

Hey friends! It's been a while since I've updated you on how the penguin game is going, but that doesn't mean I haven't been working on it! Check out these screenshots!! The game is really looking a lot nicer then where it started!
Also, there is a new version out now for playtesting! Would love to hear your thoughts!
Play it here!

I've always sucked at making tilesets, so today I bit the bullet and paid $6 for one on itch.io.
It looks a lot better now so it was worth it for sure!
The tileset came with a bunch of other environments, so I'll be throwing them at some stage.
Overall, I'm pretty happy with it!
This is the tileset I brought in case your interested.
I've been working on how to introduce the player to each level.
The camera spotlights the entry door and exit.
Also, I've added a text box and little Penguin face!
The idea being that I can have different characters talk to each other during the level.
Hope you've been having fun and thanks for keeping up!
I had considered adding a zoom-in-out function. Your right tho, it would cause a loss in detail. Plus pixel art tends to break when viewed at dimensions other then 100% 200% 300% ect.
That said, it's still worth some testing!
Hows Scrapship going by the way? I haven't kept up with it for a while!
I'll have some more levels for you to try soon!
