Vision statement

 Introduction ' cat game ' is a cat collecting simulator game for Switch and PC that blends the cat collecting of ' Neko Atsume ' with the friendship building of ' Animal Crossing '. Cat Game is set in the home of your choice where you will adopt, befriend and connect with a variety of cats. Description In Cat Game you move into your dream home and fill it with as many cats as possible. You first pick a home from a collection of starters, later on in the game you will have the opportunity to relocate to a larger home to fit more of your new found friends. You can decorate your home to your liking but remember that certain cats have specific preferences and if you don't meet them you'll be in for a nasty surprise.  Example of the home decoration and cat collection seen in Neko Atsume link Cats can be adopted at your local adoption center. Initially you can only adopt one cat but as your bond grows so too can your cat collection. You can adopt a variety ...

Game idea research

Based on some of the feedback I've received from my classmates I believe that this would be a very interesting and entertaining game.

I imagine this being like the cat collection feature in the game  Neko Atsume . This feature would allow for me to include a range of different kinds of cats with different personalities, likes and dislikes. This would keep the game fresh on repeat playthroughs.

Another possible mechanic I would like to include would be a feature where you can develop relationships with the cats you adopt. I imagine this being similar to the friendship mechanic in animal crossing where y...

Brainstorming topics for my game

 In this blog post I intend on running through some possible ideas for the game that I am going to create. I will discuss where I got the inspiration for the game from, my ideas for the art style and mechanics I would like to include. Idea 1- Cat simulator My cat Ham, the inspiration for my cat sim My first idea is for a Nintendogs style game where you keep and care for cats. Another big part of why I would want to make a game in this style is that I recently got a kitten and I would like to share this experience with others. Ideally I would like this game to be a relaxing and more casual game. I would like the art style to be relatively simple, in recent years there has been a revival of cell shading and other less detailed art styles in games and I believe that this kind of style would suit a game like this. In terms of mechanics in this game I would like to include ways to play with your cat, feed them, bathe them and I would like to add some unique cats with very distinct perso...
