Kitty Powers' Matchmaker
1.14.5 Update
Our latest update contains a few bug fixes that you've told us about, as well as small improvements.
For anyone who's noticed strange or broken looking characters on their friends list, this update should fix the problem for you. Make sure you and your friends play the latest version of the game, and things will sort themself out!
Valentine's Day Update!
Today you should see the game update with some new features!
The problematic avatar letter system has been completely reworked and simplified. Now, whenever your friends send your avatar on a date you will receive a letter telling you what happened!
You will still need to unlock your friend's avatar's 'type' in order to see them appear in the game.
In addition, I've recorded full VO for the game, so now you'll hear me waffling ALL THE TIME. You lucky things!
Also, some annoying bugs have been squished. Yay!
Within the next few weeks we'll be adding controller support too.
We hope you enjoy playing with these new thingies!
Lots of love, and Happy Valentine's Day kittens!

Try Matchmaking in Spanish!
We recently announced that we've been hard at work on an update that adds the option to play the game with Spanish text!
The full release will be available in a couple of weeks, but for anyone who wishes to give it a try ahead of schedule, you can do so by following these steps:
(PLEASE NOTE: Once you have started playing the Spanish test version, you won't be able to return to the main version of the game until it is updated in a couple of weeks time, as your save file will be incompatible.)
1. Right-Click 'Kitty Powers' Matchmaker' in Steam and go to Properties.
2. A dialog box will open. Go to the 'BETAS' tab.
3. There is a box to enter a beta access code. Type 'HolaKittyMatchmaker' into the box.
4. Click the 'Check Code' button.
5. You will receive confirmation that you can download the Spanish test version.
6. In the drop down box, change the Beta you would like to opt in to so that it is 'spanish' instead of 'NONE'.
If you encounter any issues you'd like to alert us to, get in touch at www.magicnotion.com/contact.
Magic Notion 3rd Birthday - MATCHMAKER UPDATE 1.12
We've had a busy few weeks working on a secret project which we'll be revealing soon, but we've also taken the time to take a look at some of the issues you've been seeing in Matchmaker.
Because it's our birthday, we decided to make some feature improvements that the community have suggested!
- Redesigned the salon.
- Players can now definitively select the style of clothes/facial decor
- Players can now select the hair colour rather than randomly generating them
- Character 'type' can be revealed for candidates by spending coins. This happens once the second type is unlocked
- Envelopes on restaurant select screen shuffle slower when there are more of them. As the number of envelopes increases the speed slows slightly to compensate
- Changed the spelling of some menu items.
- Items in the shop are sorted by unlock order.
- Other bug fixes.
We hope you enjoy the new improvements. We certainly like them!
And the best news of all is that the update is available RIGHT NOW!
Version 1.11 Update
A new update has just gone live with the following fixes and improvements.
- Achievements earned when not connected to Steam will sync next time you play the game on Steam.
- Cloud saving and loading will only happen if you have it enabled.
- Fixed a bug where an item of food on the German menu was incorrectly described as fried.
- Clients in the lobby should be of more varied types, preventing the issue where some types are hardly ever seen after playing for a while.
Thanks to everyone in the community forums who helped us identify these issues. If you have any problems, contact us and we will be happy to help.
New Collectibles!
As a bit of fun we asked our talented friend Dan Emmerson (he worked on the adventure game 'Bertram Fiddle') to create his idea of what Kitty Powers' would look like as an old school point and click adventure!
We were so pleased with the result that we turned it into 5 new emoticons and a profile background for you to collect!
Keep an eye out for it on our Facebook page too! https://www.facebook.com/KittyPowersMatchmaker
Enjoy!

Version 1.1 Update - Letterbox fixed, Pink Hair for Men!
We've just gone live with the version 1.1. update with the following new things:
- major middleware update to Unity 5
- Fixed some errors in dialogue.
- Fixed bugs with the online highscore table.
- Fixed bug with the display of daily coin bonuses.
- Potential fix for mail screen overlay bug.
- Glam men can now have pink hair!
We are aware that a small minority of users may have issues starting the game. This is due to the minimum specs for Unity games changing slightly.
- On PC, Windows XP or higher is required
- On Mac, OSX 10.7 or higher is required
If you do have this issue please contact us straight away via our website ( www.magicnotion.com/contact ) for the workaround which will allow you to continue playing.
If you have any issues, as always contact us and we will be happy to help.

Latest Build Rollback
We released a build over the weekend to fix the letterbox bug, and also give glam men the ability to have pink hair, as well as some middleware updates.
However a couple of customers have reported that their game is failing to start, so we've rolled back the build to allow everyone to play, and will fix the issue and re release it asap.
Thanks for your patience!

Version 1.09 - a couple of fixes
we've just published an update with a couple of fixes in it.
- A fix for the game crashing when you've prestiged and you try to update your avatar
- A *potential* fix for the letterbox squishing all your letters on top of each other.
If you've had the letterbox bug, please let us know if this update helps as it's hard to repro ourselves as we don't see it happening.
Thanks!
