This is definitely the chance to make your voice heard about Switch 2 Game Key Cards.

I dug out (ha!) my Playdate just to buy and play this game. It scratches that Pokémon D/P/Pt underground minigame itch perfectly

A 19x14 grid of the 266 photos (mostly cats, a couple dogs, and 1 lizard) that were submitted to be included in the game. They appear randomly in rooms and are added to an in-game collection when found

Lastly, here are all 266 pet photos can be found in the final game. This was my favorite part of the Kickstarter, and I'm so happy we could memorialize everyone's pet(s) this way!

The original flat and very cartoony logo, with the word "Catlateral" surrounded by a cloud and "Damage" surrounded by an explosion. "Cat" is blue and "-lateral" is grey to reinforce that it's a cat game.

The final logo. Still cartoony, but with a little more depth in each letter. The letters in "Catlateral" are calico colored, with ears on the "C", toe beans on the middle "A", and a tail on the last "L". The letters in "Damage" are all askew with cartoony stars and clouds behind them.

Going through my old files I also found the original logo I made 😄 (final version for reference)

A collage of screenshots, ranging from the original prototype, to various improved versions, and finally a couple shots from the final, release version of the game. The primary visual improvements are mesh detail and toon shading

A gameplay screenshot of the prototype with a permanently outstretched paw and a view into a single bedroom. The shading of scene is flat, with simple color textures (before the final toon shader was implemented)

Share a random game from your collection on Saturday!

This one was tricky to find, but I had an idea to start collecting “meme games” and this felt like the way to start. I can confirm that these names are actually in the game 😆

I also collect video games and related memorabilia, like to cook/bake (this year I’ve been learning how to make croissants), and have two cats named Wil and Lyn. Very happy to chat about any of those in more detail 😄

I never introduced myself! I’m Chris, an indie dev who made a silly little cat game and is currently figuring out what’s next. Most recently I worked at Fire Hose Games on an unannounced project, but have done QA, project management, and miscellaneous dev work throughout my 12 years in the industry
