Hey everyone.
The various parts of Matt’s Hidden Cats are starting to come together and the game will soon resemble it’s final form.
I’ve revamped the hint system to be more fun and interesting:
• You can have up to 9 hints at once. (light bulbs)
• You get hints as you make progress, interact with stuff, or just wait a while.
• You can use either a small hint or a big one that just takes you straight to the goal.
• And there’s an option to increase or decrease the amount of hints you get.
So that should accommodate just about everyone – from people who want to rush, to people who are stubborn and want to use as little hints as possible. There’s also some strategy involved in how best to ration your supply, and you’ll never spend 30 minutes looking for that last item, unless you want to.
If you recall, you can customise the mouse cursor in this game, and there’s a lot of different options. I’ve given the pencil cursor the ability to draw – you can change colors, line thickness, and there’s even an undo key!
Obviously it’s not for everyone, but I’m sure some players will come up with creative uses for this.
Some of the other cursors also have special effects, but I’ll keep those secret for now.
The game’s art is so unique cute to me. Who is responsible for the game’s illustration? Do they have a deviantart or some place where i can see more of their stuff?
I’m happy there is a option to limit hints, i love to increase a game’s difficulty to the max and feel miserable for 99% of my playthrough. I’m really excited for the game’s release. ^^
Do you plan on making more youtube videos? I enjoy them a lot. ^^
All the art and programming in Matt’s Hidden Cats is done by Matt himself! 🙂
It’s an interesting game. I also watched the YouTube video and saw that, fortunately, it’s not just about sharpness and it also has puzzles. But my suggestion is to strengthen the puzzle discussion and make it more intelligent. This way, its appeal and excitement will be maintained and it won’t be repetitive and it will be suitable for all ages. A better source for your inspiration is the game Cats in Time, which is about finding cats by solving puzzles and is available on Google Play
