A Castle Full of Cats
Arcade Mode Update
Arcade update is up and a lot have changed:
• There are new images for the arcade poster (title screen and coffin), and also a popup when you find the poster.
• As a lot of you have requested, there's no penalty on Fofiño's fight anymore. Now padlocks will not lock back if you fail to find all 4 cats in the screen. ːfofinoː
• One trick people were using while playing Arcade mode was to take a screenshot and pause the game. Because of this we've changed the way the arcade works. Now if you pause the game, all 4 cats will change positions, and even if you already find some of them, they'll be reset.
This is not ideal but it's better than the old method.
• Steam Leaderboards were reset. The old leaderbords will remain available on Steam.
That's it fur now.
Check the Arcade out to see the changes! ːkisscatː
One last thing: in case you've missed, the demo for A Tower Full of Cats is available!

New Languages
Happy New Year!
Hungarian and Italian languages are now available in the game.
Special thanks to Seweryn Karapuda who did the Hungarian translation for the game!
Now Italians and Hungarians can enjoy the game too! ❤️
Also, the game now detects your language the first time you play it. ːwinkycatː
That's all for now, humans!
Hope you all have a pawsome 2023 and adopt more cats! ːfofino2ː

New Intern
Hello humans!
2022 was a great year for us! We've released 4 games, a minigame, a comic book and a lot of aditional content for those games. Not to mention the other 4 games we are working on right now!
That's a lot of work, so we need more paws to help us.
This is Leo, Devcats' new intern.
He was found all alone in our yard, feist as a little feral cat really is. We rescued him and within 5 days he bloomed into a sweet little boy, purring loud every time we pet him. ❤
If you follow us on instagram (@luadogato) you already know all that.
We named him Leo and he still need to be approved by all of us cats, but most likely he's going to stay with us permanently.
~~~~~~~~~~
We created a special bundle for the end of the year! The purrfect christmas gift for a dearly friend!
https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/2976/Devcats_Collection_FOR_GIFTS/
This bundle will only be available for a limited time.
We have a lot of plans for 2023, however we've learned that is always better to wait until the following release because we announced a bunch of games in 2022 and had to change plans for various reasons
Last but definitely not least, we would like to THANK everyone of you who have been supporting us this whole year and we wish you a happy Christmas and a PAWSOME 2023!
PS: Our humans made this game. It's a really hard competitive arcade shooter but in case you like this type of game, it's on sale for a few pennies.

A Castle Full of Cats is out!!!
Vets always say that we cats need to sleep 16 hours a day. Well, we haven't. ːcrycat2ː
We have been tirelessly working on our new game: A Castle Full of Cats.
If you liked A Building Full of Cats you're definitely going to love this one!
This Castle is much bigger, with more cats (and items!) to find and you're able to talk to some of our NPC's too! As usual, by the end of the game, there's something special. We really hope you enjoy it.
We should charge more for this game but we wanted the game to be affordable for the most of you, humans.
So we decided to launch the game for US$3 and we made a DLC for those who would like to help us and also see the "Catherine version" of the events in the game. Remember her? She's from one of our other games, Zodiacats.
This DLC includes a comic book, a mini game, posters and wallpapers. None of them are necessary to ACFoC experience, but buying it will definetely help us. ːfofino2ː

Devlog: Entering the castle
It's been almost a week since ACFOC demo's launch and we are very happy with the results so far! ːlovecatː
Watching your videos playing our demo was very helpful to us: we have already made some changes on the counter and doors, and we're also changing the dialog box and tutorial.
Furthermore, this game is going to be much bigger than A Building Full of Cats.
Here is a comparison:
Not only that, but also the rooms have much more details now. You will indeed need that zoom. ːwadacatː
The demo starts on the main hall but the full game starts outside the castle. We chose the hall because it's better at showing how the game structure looks.
Another thing that was left out the demo was the map and its extra items (keys and relics). You can play the game just looking for the cats on each room and move on, but there will be some side missions to solve, in case you have a good heart and wish to help other cats on your way. ːwinkycatː
RELEASE DATE
The original plan was October 24th, a day before the Steam Scream festival, to celebrate Halloween.
However, we were not accepted in the festival... ːfofinoː
So we decided to move the release date to November 2nd. This will also give us extra time to polish the game.
Anyway, that's it for meow.
See you soon, humans!
Love & Purrs,
Devcats ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ
