We spent the last couple of months fully focused on the Kickstarter campaign, making sure we could show you just how [b]pretty[/b] the game is going to look. However, that also means it's been a while since we actually worked on [b]its gameplay[/b], which will be our main focus in the months to come! Programmer [b]Ernst and I[/b] will be diving back into [b]Unity[/b], the engine we use to build our game in. Time to fire those game development ovens back up![/i] 🧑‍🍳🔥 [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45149257/98290c56e6b0ccd9360bdf7a7ba66aa59d3ff6c4.png[/img] [i]Ernst will focus his efforts on [b]enhancing our development toolset[/b], which will allow us to build the game more quickly and smoothly in the future. Rick will be planning the order of all [b]gameplay elements[/b] so we can decide which ones should be [b]built first[/b]. It's safe to say that these are super exciting times on the game development front![/i] 👀 [b]We will be back next month with more updates about the development of Cat Cafe Manager 2![/b] Don’t hesitate to [b]reach out[/b] to us on [url=https://discord.com/invite/sAXW2mx]Discord[/url], [url=https://www.reddit.com/r/catcafemanager/]Reddit[/url], [url=https://x.com/roostgames]Twitter[/url], [url=https://www.tiktok.com/@roostgames]TikTok[/url] or [url=https://www.instagram.com/catcafemanager]Instagram[/url] if you have any [b]questions[/b] about the survey or anything else!
