For this week’s Super Catboy Devlog, you get the opportunity for new insights regarding two important topics which might be of interest for you.

FIRST: The Main Gameplay Pillars of Super Catboy

Let’s go all the way back when Super Catboy was still a product of our imagination: We’ve put our heads together for quite some time, trying to pin down and define what our game should look like. Since we grew up with games and having distinct favorites, it all came down to an homage to all those brilliant retro games we all love. Thus, Super Catboy was shaping up pretty quickly, and we ultimately decided to combine some well-known and beloved genres that we thought were bound to be married but, to our surprise, have never been combined before. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38609081/37993864150b1db983cba4bb1d1109776fb0b928.png It features elements of classic Jump ’n’ Runs, Run ’n’ Guns and Beat ’em ups. Also adding variety through refreshing bonus levels like motorbike rides or a crazy mine car getaway – guess you get the reference. Our goal was always to create a game that is split into individual levels while still featuring a captivating story, charming characters and a vibrant fantasy world that is inspired by 90s cartoon series, games and movies. The different areas of the game world itself ranges from forests, snow-covered mountains or the bottom of the sea right up to an evil laboratory, a Wild West inspired canyon and a lot more! All these levels are designed to deliver as much action and variety as possible. They basically feature both massive explosions and exploration aspects - John McClane and Indiana Jones would be proud! In case you’re a collector type of guy, we got you covered, too! Because, every level has 4 hidden golden cat parts waiting for you to find them. The combat in Super Catboy is best described as fluid. The transition from melee attacks to the use of firearms is seemless – and a lot of fun, of course! From Bruce Lee to Rambo in no time! While the ammo for his gun is limited, Catboy can use his super sharp cat-claws in almost any situation without hesitation or drawbacks, even midair. But, no worries, ammunition can be found almost everywhere. After all, the level design is supposed to be challenging but not unfair. Just like the classics of the golden days! On top, we also added several boss fights, since these were always the real treats. Who doesn’t remember that specific moment, triumphing over the big bad boss of a game, back when we were kids? We still do! You’re not only going to face evil sharks, but also giant bulls and moles with killer claws. Because, why not? :-D {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38609081/3173ed706ca5d0c55d6e4fac700c240134b4aac4.gif{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38609081/b872b67e27d3ff547c686116951ce05f94d13575.gif{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38609081/6ced7e82807441a7c6009e67bad970b6f2f3a97c.gif

SECONDLY: Dope Tech in Super Catboy

We’re going to take you back in time now – to 1994 to be exact. That’s the time Super Catboy actually takes place. But, it’s an alternative 1994 where VHS rental shops are still a thing on the one hand, but on the other flying cars and dashing technology are a real thing. And the credit for the much-loved Hover technology goes to... No, not Doc Brown, or Marty McFly, ...but none other than Weapongirl’s grandpa! Unfortunately, he totally forgot to file a patent application, and now the technology gets sold all over the world by big business tycoons. Who would’ve thought? But still, he never stopped and is always striving to make new inventions – this is the thing that satisfies him most. He’s a happy guy nonetheless, living together with his granddaughter in a small house with a workshop. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38609081/8a1956a114bae1d01143b863d45c1939704bebba.gif Nowadays, the Hover technology can be used anywhere. But the most popular use can be found in transport vehicles like cars and trucks. Motorbikes also benefit a lot from Hover technology. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38609081/19bf8cc55cbfcef9adf12c55acb203352ff573be.gif {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38609081/8dc01b15e17a8a4e2b7b50d9312841d842935b6f.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38609081/1037f1a8382a708b80db458c1d52ef6e96bff7ef.jpg Due to their low weight, the Hover energy can be used to create impulsive boosts, which cater towards much higher top speeds of limited duration. The same applies to Gadget Grandpa’s newest invention (and yes, that’s his nickname): Dashing Shoes. These allow for super quick directional movements and very long jumps, which makes it the perfect gadget when combined with a cat’s agility. Nowadays, the dashing technology can be found in several inventions, like hovering platforms and bouncers, both midair and on the ground. As you can see, Gadget Grandpa is already a living legend ¬ not only because of his inventions but his humble and lovable nature. That’s it for this week’s Super Catboy Devlog. We hope you enjoyed the read and learned something meow about our favorite Catboy. Stay tuned for more information in the future. Did you see our latest retro-trailer? No worries, perfectly fitting for our devlog, we share our retro trailer once again. Enjoy! -Your Retro Games-, Catlovers, Super Catboy creators, masterminds, and developers Pixelpogo: Arthur and Thomas- {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38609081/f426e30648bcb0d31d0e064fc22be7671988ba73.png{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38609081/fb93b9ad276cc6432dec298ed9e359ab972e165c.png https://store.steampowered.com/app/1376910/Super_Catboy/

“Dr. Ungefug or: How I learned to stop worrying and love world domination”

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38609081/3876ccdd3f26846e3b4cdcd88734292f89437aa9.png Cunning and as evil as it gets, he wants no less than total world domination. In his megalomania he bred an army of human-like dog soldiers in his laboratory, deploying them all over the world with his airships. These poor doggos started their life as normal baby pups, but have been genetically altered to walk on two legs and brainwashed to attack everything that gets in their way. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38609081/26086e8795ccaf5f736b6e7d4625091581160c23.png Dr. Ungefug also tried his luck creating submissive versions of several other animal breeds, including moles, bulls, sharks and cats…with varying results. Some of them became mighty monsters, while others turned out to have too much mind on their own, including Catboy. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38609081/3173ed706ca5d0c55d6e4fac700c240134b4aac4.gif{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38609081/b872b67e27d3ff547c686116951ce05f94d13575.gif{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38609081/6ced7e82807441a7c6009e67bad970b6f2f3a97c.gif{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38609081/c6c279af165ee9d3115cf78a6c5850b4e03deaa7.png The young Ungefug attended science school together with his friend Gadget Guy (who, in a shocking, unforeseeable twist, later became known as Gadget Grandpa) but never really had any success. While Gadget Guy developed one break-through invention after the other, such as the hover-technology, Ungefug failed to create anything useful at all. This negative energy led him to drop out of science school, disappearing into the underground for many years, until he came back from the shadows with an army of evil goons. His dog soldiers come in many forms and sizes. They carry a wide range of different weapons from knives to rifles to heavy machine guns. Some are equipped with shields to defend themselves.

She is a creature very much like Catboy, but driven by dark intentions. There is a lot of mystery concerning this character, which might be revealed during the course of the game. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38609081/583532cede8c3f6b727d93550ddb0cd52f094696.gif -Your Retro Games-, Catlovers, Super Catboy creators, masterminds, and developers Pixelpogo: Arthur and Thomas- {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38609081/f426e30648bcb0d31d0e064fc22be7671988ba73.png{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38609081/fb93b9ad276cc6432dec298ed9e359ab972e165c.png https://store.steampowered.com/app/1376910/Super_Catboy/

Super Catboy takes place in a fictional world on an earth like planet that combines 80s and 90s aesthetics with modern sci-fi technology, allowing for things such as hovering vehicles. The world is inhabited by humans and normal animals, and the existence of the anthropomorphic animals that got created by the evil Dr. Ungefug is yet to be revealed. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38609081/3d649ca4ded51a9b530fa34f945da1cba4902e48.jpg Catboy is the titular hero of our game and was also created by Dr. Ungefug. During an airship crash he becomes conscious in front of his broken breeding chamber and while exploring his surroundings he soon meets the first anthropomorphic dogs that got sent there to investigate the crash site and capture surviving subjects. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38609081/476a65bf091b7bfb59b0aab28897eb5d90a03cea.png Right before the crash {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38609081/7806c16484515f77c62534dfb6db5041cc0430cf.jpg Catboy in breeding chamber {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38609081/981fda9e0c949568ce60234962a57f258e52ab82.png Anthropomorphic dogs created by Dr. Ungefug Instinctively, Catboy will resist and put up a fight against the dogs, only to be discovered by Weapongirl. Upon noticing him, her first reaction is, of course, shooting in his direction. But she quickly realizes that Catboy is not like the other hostile anthropomorphic animals, and decides to help him escape. Giving him his first gun, the two take away on her motorbike. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38609081/08cc5ebf7505f45d3f179a9c94b37c30e92f6840.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38609081/979db4bc52c3d64e2c85ec2de180cf72611f6480.gif Weapongirl is a weapon-fanatic crazy young lady, who arguably can be a bit hot-headed. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38609081/19bf8cc55cbfcef9adf12c55acb203352ff573be.gif She loves motorbikes, every type of gun, rifle, rocket-launcher or grenade, which makes her feel a bit lonely sometimes, due to other girls of her age having different interests… {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38609081/24f31a719b7734faff694c5ea0be3cde91f2e06b.gif Weapongirl lives with her Granddad, whose name is Gadget Grandpa - well not really, but that’s how they call him anyway, because he is a great tinkerer who always has some new inventions to try out. He supports Catboy on his way to save the world and equips him with technology like the dashing shoes. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38609081/8a1956a114bae1d01143b863d45c1939704bebba.gif Relaxing moments in the game, with Catboy, Gadget Grandpa, and even some motorbikes in the back News channel 6 has caught wind of Dr. Ungefug’s evil plans and they have sent out a team of reporters trying to get some good material of Catboy and his friends fighting for justice whenever they can.

Without his brave involvement Catboy would have never been able to manage anything. All credit and honor is due to him. At least that’s what he thinks.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38609081/43d6d062a0a88f47e4217f06a53add6cd0b5924f.gifCats? Dogs? 16-bit? What is going on?{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38609081/43d6d062a0a88f47e4217f06a53add6cd0b5924f.gif

When we started to develop Super Catboy, we wanted to create a game, that captures the spirit of the early 90s 16-bit platformer games and we ourselves would like to play. So, we started to combine the best elements of all the games we loved in the 90s like Megaman X, Super Mario World, Donkey Kong Country and many more. Originally, the character Catboy was supposed to be a human with cat-like traits such as cat-ears and whiskers. However, during the development process, this started to look a bit weird, and we changed him to being a cartoon-like cat with a red vest (Marty McFly would be jealous) and a determined look on his face, since the task ahead is not an easy one: he’s the only hope to save the world from the evil Dr. Ungefug and his in-dog-trinated anthropomorphic army of dogs. Then: First Concept scribbles of Catboy and Weapon Girl {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38609081/e3b6a24c4fbc68fa6cd253c29a9b9c7139dd421b.png{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38609081/5777717a1188efb8fee7bf858048da67107f31f2.png{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38609081/fc238e2eb286d5b6446c58895038be4e5c73ae95.jpg Click the images to view them in full size! Now: Super Catboy and Weapon Girl! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38609081/26c9290c541effb6c4bc15ec9a4bbeef6c92069f.png{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38609081/52cb21288eaff4a0c65b81c7d8be17fd4575d731.jpg Click the images to view them in full size!

Our initial plan was to have the gameplay strongly resemble that of Megaman X, but we changed it over time to involve a vast variety of gameplay mechanics from classic platforming titles we came to love as kids. We took some good ol’ Donkey Kong Country inspiration and put it into the construction of our levels as well as bonus levels, such as riding a motorbike or steering a mine cart through perilous chasms. Things, such as running on top of a running train, just HAD to be in the game. Trains, bikes, mine carts - Pixelpogo wants them all! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38609081/7f655ded3013704cc07fab51ca91adf36eed23de.jpg{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38609081/801a59451ffc244b4bf2b03aafb73c17dc124e27.jpg{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38609081/c15ea8e59c8e4210e89af05201e60b327b5df9f3.jpg Click the images to view them in full size! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38609081/8dc01b15e17a8a4e2b7b50d9312841d842935b6f.png More vehicles from Super Catboy! And of course, we wouldn’t miss the classic run’n’gun feature, for players who just love to shoot their way through the levels. Super Catboy features a ton of action-packed passages full of explosions and bosses, yet has some quiet, scenic, or simply relaxing moments to tell the story. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38609081/df9e1c6d54aff0f71096764297fe583544262241.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38609081/8a1956a114bae1d01143b863d45c1939704bebba.gif "Relaxing moments" in Super Catboy are meant literally!

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38609081/43d6d062a0a88f47e4217f06a53add6cd0b5924f.gif„Just why do these guys love retro platforming so much?“{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38609081/43d6d062a0a88f47e4217f06a53add6cd0b5924f.gif

Well, it’s simple: Platformers with a big emphasis on fluid character movement just feel very satisfying to play. That mid-air punch that gave you just a little more upward momentum to barely make the jump over the pit, dashing across pillars like a torpedo while casually punching some enemies into the abyss. There’s just something about it that feels great. And to keep this formula fresh, we want to eliminate frustration while still delivering challenges. We want to let the players choose their tempo by offering clever save points and intuitive, responsive controls. It’s all up to you guys: 'Do you want to time your jumps with caution, or race through the levels using dashes and wall jumps?' 'Do you want to use Catboy’s claws or do you prefer ranged combat?' You decide! Developing a title as a homage to games of our childhood always raises the question of how far we can trust our nostalgic feelings and memories? Or if our memories are in fact deluded by nostalgia? In the end, we are aware of these challenges and will strive to deliver the most authentic old-school jump’n’run experience to our players. -Your Retro Gamers, Catlovers, and Super Catboy Developers Pixelpogo - Arthur and Thomas- {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38609081/f426e30648bcb0d31d0e064fc22be7671988ba73.png{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38609081/fb93b9ad276cc6432dec298ed9e359ab972e165c.png https://store.steampowered.com/app/1376910/Super_Catboy/

Together with developer Pixelpogo — a two-person team from Aachen, Germany — we are delighted to announce the upcoming action-platformer Super Catboy. Inspired by the golden era of 16-bit platformers during the ‘90s, the game combines the charm of cat videos and the thrill of intense shooters to create a one-of-a-kind cat-tastic escapade. Catch this crazy kitty on Windows PC and Mac via Steam when Super Catboy launches Fall 2021. Super Catboy isn’t your typical Tomcat, no, not this fascinating feline! Accompanied by a deranged-yet-cute sidekick companion — a young girl armed to the teeth with more weapons than you can PSPSPSPS at — Super Catboy will venture far and wide to dismantle the shady plans of his evil creator so that he can go back to doing...cat things...in peace. “Super Catboy combines elements of various platformers, run’n’gun, and beat’em up games, but offers unique variety with the inclusion of bonus levels that feature an alternative gameplay style,” said Arthur Eckmann, Co-Founder, Pixelpogo. “We were inspired by iconic games like Mega Man X, Metal Slug, Donkey Kong Country and the like, which have shaped the game designers we are today.” “We want to stay true to our roots while nodding at the present with Super Catboy,” said Thomas Flachs, Co-Founder, Pixelpogo. “It’s not just about that ’90s flair — we included graphics and gameplay mechanics that players are used to. We want it to be modern and comfortable.”
