Devlog #6 - THE LEGEND OF CAT PARADISE
Kagero sheathed her katana at her side and took a deep breath. The bodies of defeated enemies lay strewn around her - she was seldom impressed by numerical superiority.
"The lion does not fear to walk alone among the sheep."
A series of explosions followed by joyful, childish laughter echoed from deep within the massive production hall, reassuring Kagero that her companion also had no major problems with facing an entire enemy squad on his own. Nevertheless, she advanced toward him - he had to be protected; after all, he was still just a child.
When Kagero located Baby Cat, the battle had already concluded. However, the kitten continued to maneuver his giant combat mech around, firing rockets at any piece of the environment that seemed insufficiently damaged. With a spray of bullets from his machine gun, he had etched the shapes of butterflies and smiley faces into the walls.
- โEnough, little one,โ the assassin murmured, jumping onto the mech.
- โDo you understand why we're doing this? Why do we fight?โ
- โFor fun!โ Baby Cat squealed with delight, his answer to every question always the same.
- โItโs more than fun. Let me tell you.โ
Kagero signaled for the little one to open the cockpit hatch and then perched herself on one of the robot's mechanical arms.
- โWe cats are not like other animals,โ she began. โWe donโt hail from this world. Long ago, we had a paradise of our ownโa cat paradise.โ
- โWhat's paradise?โ Baby Cat asked, furrowing his brow.
- โA place of harmony. True harmony, whose goal isn't to balance opposites but to break free from their eternal dance. It's an indivisible and omnipresent unity that...โ
Large, shiny eyes gazed up at her, filled with unwavering incomprehension.
- โStill too young for philosophy, huh?โ she sighed. โVery well. Picture a realm where there's no death, no worries. Even better! No standing water to drink. Rather, a place abundant with everything delightful.โ
- โExlplosions!โ the little kitten exclaimed. โBoomies are the bestest!โ
- โAnd what if I told you about food that is always fresh, moist, and perfectly in the middle of a bowl so wide that its edges never ever touch your whiskers? A private beam of afternoon sun for anyone who wants a nap?โ
- โI donโt wanna sleeeepโ Baby Cat whined, his mouth pouting into a sad horseshoe shape. โI want booooms!โ
- โHmm, let me think... Sometimes, stars would break away from the night sky and fall to the ground, glowing red-hot. They would bounce all around the land like mad. Catching one of the Red Dots was a real feat! I guess shooting it down would count, too. As a reward, youโd get a wreath made of fresh catnip...โ the assassin daydreamed so heavily that her pupils dilated. โAh, to get high once again... up there, to heaven, I mean!โ
- โWhat's get high mean?โ
- โI'll tell you when you're older.โ
- โBut...โ
Suddenly, Kagero's ears turned like satellites towards a dark corridor leading deeper into the factory.
- โNever mind,โ she cut him off. โIt seems the wind is about to bring another storm.โ
The enemy's greatest strength lay in their number. Mechanized rodents didn't pose much of a threat individually, but now they pressed from all sides, and for every fallen soldier, two more appeared.
Baby Cat was in his element: he launched rockets left and right, laughing out loud when the enemy projectiles bounced off his mechโs protective field like mere pebbles. But the pebbles kept coming, more and more of them.
- โMore story!โ the kitten called out, utterly oblivious to the gravity of their predicament. โAbout the cool paradise!โ
- โNow?โ Kagero gasped, dodging an enemy strike.
- โIโm bored!โ
Once again, raising the little kitten proved to be a challenge greater than any battle.
โWell...โ the cat started but halted abruptly, vanishing into the shadows and reappearing moments later in a wholly different spot, where she swiftly neutralized a laser turret.
โIn our paradise, there were boxes. Countless cardboard boxes of every size! And each one was empty, just perfect for...โ
โFor shoots! Rat-tat-tat! Pew pew!โ Baby Cat illustrated his point with a real burst from his machine gun. A few enemies fell.
โIt would be a waste of perfectly good boxes... but you could shoot at yarn balls! In paradise, there were whole herds of rolling yarn balls.โ
โI likes yarn. Yarns go whoosh!โ the kitten rejoiced. Unnoticed by him, the energy level powering Baby Catโs mech's shields had plummeted to a critical low.
Suddenly, the radio connection between the cats became fractured and filled with static. From a distance, Kagero could only see Baby Cat's robot forming into a ball and disappearing into a swarm of charging enemies.
โLittle one!โ she cried out, dashing toward him. โAnd wha- do you lik- in pa- dise?โ
Kagero slashed with her katana in a frenzy, completely forgetting her training and discipline. Her stamina was diminishing.
โTel...l me.โ
Then the comms channel got silent, and the weirdest thing happened. The assassin couldn't tell if it was sheer exhaustion or fleeting glimpses of the fabled cat paradise blurring her vision, but instead of a rodent army, she now saw scores of adorable plush mice before her. And Kagero secretly loved everything sweet and cute - so much that she couldn't bear it and would often give up to an urge to tear the object into pieces.
โKawaii!โ she squealed, overcome with lust for murder.
After a few moments of pure fury, the enemy unit eased to exist. Kagero, breathing heavily, reached the mech, still coiled on the ground.
โLittle one! What's with you? Answer!โ She pounded on the impassive metal shell. โYou can't... Speak up... Please...โ
As if on cue, the robot unfolded. The kitten sat behind the controls - unscratched, perfectly fine, and very pleased with himself.
โSupper Baby Cat reporting for duty!โ he shouted, saluting crookedly.
Kagero was still in shock. But she didn't have a moment to gather her thoughts and calm her racing heart - like children of all species, Baby Cat had no mercy for adult concerns.
โMore story, please?โ he pleaded. โDo I even have a choice?โ she sighed, her exhalation heavy with resignation. โAlright, listen. The paradise was tended by the almighty Ancient Cats - our gods...โ
โOurgods...โ the little one echoed, his eyes wide with fascination for all things grand and powerful.
Kagero shared with Baby Cat all she knew about the Ancient Cats. How they were born from chaos and possessed great power, each embodying a chosen aspect of feline power. About their divine abode, the Sacred Scratcher, a towering construction full of houses, platforms, and shelves, one for each Ancient Cat. And about the day when it all came to an end.
โOther animals learned about our paradise and went mad with envy. They couldn't stand our happiness.โ Kagero said, her voice tinged with resentment.
โSo they broke in, toppled theSacred Scratcher, and destroyed everything. The cats were either taken captive or forced to hide in other worlds. Over time, they forgot about the lost paradise; some even forgot how to speak! Can you imagine? But deep down, they all long for it. That's why every cat still wants a miniature Sacred Scratcher at home, even if they don't remember its divine origins. And when sometimes they stare off at presumably nothing? That's when theyโre trying to piece together the elusive memories of it all.โ
โAnd Ourgods?โ Baby Cat asked.
Kagero's gaze wandered through the wreckage of the hall to the next part of the factory, where their mission objective awaited. She rose to her feet and headed in that direction.
โWell, about that...โ she said, smiling. โGet up, Little One! We have a god to liberate.โ

Ultra Mega Cats are back with a new Demo
Hello, fellow feline aficionados!
We are back from our long, long nap and we have dragged in something special for you before the start of Next Fest - a brand new and updated demo! Letโs go together through what you can sink your claws in the demo itself.
Two Playable Characters
The two original Ultra Mega Cats are back and ready to make a catastrophe out of the rodent nation. The stealthy Kagero and mechanized BBkat have undergone some visual and mechanical updates. To catch up with everything, and to assist with choosing your favourite cat, we have prepared character overview videos for your enjoyment.
One more thing, as you might be wondering about the recently revealed character voiced by Roger Clark - Clint. Unfortunately, his character is not playable in this version of the demo, but there is no need to get hissterical as the famous gunslinger with 9 lives will join your posse on launch day.
New Progressions Systems
In this demo we are kicking the door open on the meta progression system and letting you play with it for the first time. During the runs you will be able to earn a new type of currency - the nexus chips.These can be spent for permanent upgrades and modifiers for your cats such as explosive ammunition or portable shields. To further enhance your pawsibilites, we have also added new vending machines and boons, so you can joyously engage in creative destruction.
Here is the final kicker - your progress in the demo will carry over to the full game!
That is right, you will be able to start playing the full version right where you left off with everything you have managed to unlock.
New Challenges
Current enemy roster has been greatly updated and expanded. During your journey through the 10 levels of the demo, you will have to put up with lightsaber-wielding koalas and mecha rabbits. Speaking of foes that hate your cattitude, the bosses of mecha rodents in Machineland also had a bit of a touch-up - so you can expect them to be even bigger bullies than before.
Nap timeโs over, letโs go Ultra Mega Cats
Could all of this get any more purrfect? Yes, it can - with your help!
Make sure to leave a review after you are done with the demo. You can also drop your feedback on our Discord channel. We canโt wait to hear from you
