HELLO AGAIN, hot as hell innit? Been a bit too, the last REAL Devlog was back in FEBRUARY?! Well worry not dear 3 people who actually read these. We're at Devlog #6 and progress has been made as it often does!
JordoJams, Talented Musician!
What's Up?:
The starting portion of the game is fully planned out! The tricky part is actually doing it, which will run a bit smoother with some help! @RizumuPlus is now on the team as an Animator and thanks to their help, Two new enemy types have joined the fray!
Stray Katz, the standard cat enemies chase you around and attack you when they get close!
Chunk Katz, the chubby cat enemies launch themselves at you as cat cannonballs!
What a Chaotic Scene!
These two enemies were animated and programmed in record time thanks to the combo play with @RizumuPlus so big shoutout to 'em! Much more progress was made as well including a tutorial and systems that will be important in the future!
Chunk Kat's Favorite Past Time!
A gameplay demo of Catatattack has been available to play in person at the NYC Indie Dev Night every 4th Thursday! An official demo release won't happen for a while, mainly to ensure a good, polished chunk of content is available to play. When the time comes, I will NOT shut up about it. Until then!

What's Next?:
Along with many miscellaneous fixes and changes in the game's code and design, the plans for the game's beginning have been put in action. Instead of a random tutorial and boss encounter to get people up to speed, as I initially planned, there is going to be a proper dedicated prologue level to the game to put our BEST foot forwards. Catat and Kitt invade a Junkyard run by DeeJay's Kat Krew to get info on the humans that got on their bad side.
Stray Kat and Chunk Kat's inclusion makes up a MAJOR chunk of content for these plans but everything from here on out is going to be more difficult to get into.
The First Bosses of the game has been designed and planned, Prissy and Princess as the prologue's Mini Boss Encounter and Deejay as the prologue's proper Boss Encounter! These two are your introduction to the many Boss encounters that'll pop up throughout the game.
The Bratty Kitten "Prissy" and her faithful BullDog "Princess"!
Along with these two, Hank is going to make a cameo in Cat form as a Mini Boss! Though he'll come up in person at the NYC Indie Dev Night and the full demo when the time comes.
Deejay, Leader of the Junkyard Kat Krew!
Conclusion:
It's been a year since Catatattack's Development began, a lot has happened and a lot more will happen in the future. If you ever want to see the progress in person or say hello, swing by the NYC Indie Dev Night and see what's been cooked up! If NYC is too far you could always check out the progress on the Catatattack Twitter Account! I CAN'T wait to show you all what's coming up, Until next time!
