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.
