Catgirl Care Devlog

Content

Hello again and welcome back to another devlog! Last month I posted about my plans for Catgirl Care and Rockin' Resort and how I intend to finish Catgirl Care Chibi before I get to work on those games. This month, I'd like to talk about my progress!

Modding Support

Catgirl Care Chibi is a charming little game but my main focus will be on Catgirl Care after release so I won't have much time to give Chibi additional features. To solve this, while developing the settings menu I've added in a modding system!

The system is fairly basic but very powerful. I've done similar modding tools in past games, allowing users to use Godot's patch system to replace assets or create full new gameplay systems. I'll include some documentation with the next build!

Chibi Setbacks

Unfortunately, due to a surprising volume of commission work this month, I've only been able to implement a couple new features into Catgirl Care Chibi so far.

I try to be done with commission work by the 20th of each month. This gives me half of the month to focus on gamedev which works fairly well even if things run a couple days late. This month started with a couple non-patreon commissions at the end of last month and kept me busy until the 29th (technically I still have more commission work but it's manageable again). Due to this, I essentially had no time to work on Catgirl Care Chibi this month.

I want to avoid development being stalled in the future so if this happens again I may adjust the rewards window. It's not all bad, though - I view this as suffering from success. I'm happy you all love my art!

If you can, try and reach out early (1st-5th of each month) for commission bank rewards. I don't mind answering questions ahead of rewards time and contacting me early will allow me time to plan ahead and get you your rewards earlier (I'll still deliver them when Patreon pays me around the 5th). This will also allow me to have more time at the end of the month to make games!

Kitty Plans

Time permitting, I still have a lot to do for Catgirl Care Chibi. The main focus is going to be on polish which will include improving the UI, reworking the environment visuals, adding missing music, and adding more catgirl customization.

The UI updates should be straightforward but there's been an issue regarding the environment assets that has been bugging me. Here's an example of what I intend to change:

In the first image, you can see the current in-game sofa. It's alright by itself but once you introduce any other furniture, the perspective becomes a problem. To solve this, I intend to use an orthographic perspective for future environment assets. This will require me to rework a few existing assets but there aren't many so it should be fine once I have a solid 3D workflow.

For the missing music, I already had one finished for the room editor. I forgot to include it in the last update. I've also added a small song to the catgirl editor as well. These are already done so expect those updates in the next build!

A finally (though I might do more), I'd like to give the catgirls more hairstyles and outfits. I've compiled a list of options so I'll see how many I end up adding in. This is a space where I can see modding being fun since they're pretty simple to create.

tl;dr

Catgirl Care Chibi's next update is a bit behind schedule due to commission work but the next update will have modding support and a bunch of visual upgrades and polish! Please reach out early for Patreon rewards in the future (1st-5th of each month) to give me a head start!

Thanks again for your support! The love for my art this month may have been overwhelming but I'm determined to press on and make more cute pictures and games. I'm hoping to have more to show you all next month!
