Today is the most special day of all the year: International Cat Day! "It was created in 2002 by the International Fund for Animal Welfare, to raise awareness for cats and learn about ways to help and protect them" -- and that's what we've been doing (and will continue to do) in all of our current and future games: showing you humans that cats are just as cute and loving as dogs and we cats need care, love and protection just like them. ːfofino2ː Now to the mews! Here are some of the news about our games:

A BUILDING FULL OF CATS

Trading Cards and emoticons are here! ːlovecatː https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/41043020/80d862d45067ef3071c257cd96d5cff155d67a52.png The hint system is coming in a few days. This next update will also include a Dutch localization.

CATS LOVE BOXES

We had plans for releasing Cats Love Boxes this month. We really believe in this game but the wishlists are WAY bellow than our other games. ːsweatcatː That's crazy of you, humans... It's a game about BOXES! How can someone not be excited about that? ːcrycat2ː Because of that, we postponed Cats Love Boxes launch to the end of the year.

COZY ROOM

That's the game we're willing to launch next. We don't have a release date yet but we hope to launch it in September.

A CASTLE FULL OF CATS

A Castle Full of Cats development is going well and we believe it will be a worthy successor to A Building Full of Cats. ːwinkycatː A demo will be available on the October edition of Next Fest, so you can play the game before buying it.

SUDOCATS

There is going to be a small content update later this month, which will also include 2 new languages: Japanese and Russian. Well, that's it! Enjoy your cats and cats games today most of all days, in homage to all feline friends in the world! Thank you again, humans! ❤️ Love & Purrs, Devcats

Small fix for Portuguese language.

Hello again, humans! We have great mews today!

ZODIACATS UPDATE

This update brings you a glossary: some astrologic explanation on each term we used in sign's attributes. There's 2 new puzzles that work as an ending for the game. These puzzles are only available after completing the zodiac wheel. Another change with this update is the new color scheme for the light puzzle. We made it less bright so the details in the background and cats are more visible and pleasant (Virgo will no longer be a problem! ːlunar2019grinningpigː ) https://i.imgur.com/bNA1BXN.png Before and after Finally, since Zodiacats was our very first release and we had no budget at the time, the Russian, Simplified Chinese, Japanese and Korean localizations were just machine translations. After the A Building Full of Cats success, we decided to hire translators to make this right. Please, send us a message in the forum if there's anything wrong with these localizations, since we can't understand a thing. ːpapyruswackyː We also included a new language: Traditional Chinese. List of changes:

• 2 new puzzles
• 2 new achievements
• Glossary
• New color for the light puzzles
• Traditional Chinese localization
• Russian, Simplified Chinese, Japanese and Korean localization remade
• Catherine exit scene
• Devcats splash screen SFX

SUPPORTER PACK UPDATE

We also updated the Supporter Pack! https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/26826/Zodiacats_Deluxe/

• 2 new desktop wallpapers
• 2 new mobile wallpapers
• 4 new avatars

Hope you enjoy this update. Thank you again, humans! Love & Purrs, Devcats ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ

Hello, humans! We are happy to announce that you can now take Catherine with you anywhere: Zodiacats is verified on Steam Deck! ♥ https://i.imgur.com/RNr1ATc.png Thanks again for playing our game! Love & purrs, Devcats ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ

It’s been 4 months since we launched our very first game as Devcats and we are very grateful for the players’ reaction. We’ve traced plans for Devcats in 2022 and we’d like to share them with you! ;) There’s one factor that’s really important to a game on Steam: wishlists. That’s why we’ve been revealing so many games in advance. We need to have as many wishlists as we possibly can by the day of each game launch, otherwise said game will be completely lost amidst all the other current releases. So, we politely ask you: if you’re interested in our games, remember to add them to your wishlist and follow them, so we can stand a chance among the others. ? https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/41043020/da8b1ca645f41cd6e8db23975ee738b39ef09715.gif Even if you don’t wish to buy the game right at its release, having considerable wishlists and followers helps us to gain some projection inside Steam’s algorithm. That’s right, even cats are dependable on algorithms now... :( All of our games are being included in the DEVCATS BUNDLE at their release – therefore you can always buy the game with an extra 20% discount if you have our previous games! So, let’s cut to the games... https://store.steampowered.com/app/2007350/Cozy_Room/

COZY ROOM

This is our main announcement of the day! You’ve just won a free game!! Cozy Room is a virtual room where you can enjoy the world’s most amazing companionship: Mr. Fofiño! Decorate your room and do whatever you need in this relaxing environment. Customize your room and unlock decor items by solving puzzles that tell the rescue story of our dear Fofiño (latin word for “cute and fluffy”). You can also build your own playlist, directly from your computer, with your favorite music. Cozy Room is planned to be released in August/September.

SUDOCATS

Despite Zodiacats being our first release, Sudocats was our very first game – we had some setbacks in the project and that’s why there were so many things done wrong. We solved all Sudocats problems in the first month and now we’re updating something strongly requested by you all: real cats pictures! Below, an example with our CEO Judy: https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/41043020/c2081e2496ac2e028002e5841e04243dd694033c.png This image is not merely illustrative: Sudocats WILL BE LAUNCHED in Nintendo Switch! Sudocats update will be online next week.

ZODIACATS

We’re planning to add a glossary about sign attributes (we’re doing our homework to be as precise as we can). Also, the next update might come with a surprise… ;) Zodiacats updates are on hold for now, unfortunately. That’s because of…

STEAM NEXT FEST

We’ll be participating with A Building Full of Cats’ demo. We have just a few weeks to finish the game, which is going to be released as soon as the festival is over. As we’re just five cats, we need every paw we have here (darn it, we wish we have thumbs!!!) We had plans to launch a demo for Cats Love Boxes for this festival as well, but it seems we’re running out of time. We’re still working on it, anyhow. Its release is planned for July.

THE BLUE CAT

This is currently our main project – therefore it might take way more time to be ready. It’s possible that we will release some other non-announced-games before launching The Blue Cat. Stay tunned! That’s all folks! Hope you liked our mews! Love & Purrs, DEVCATS

Hi, humans! We've just released our second game. Sudocats is a sudoku for cat people! Cats are wonderful creatures but you better not put them together without proper introduction. So, plan ahead to display them in the right order so they get along!

Zodiacats

Although we cats don't usually listen to what humans say, this time we heard you and we are planning some upcoming updates: we are doing a through research to provide to you a glossary on the astrological terms we have used in the game! That's it for today. Time for a nap. ːsansː Thank you.

Hi, humans! Today is a special day: it's World Cat Day! =^.^= To celebrate, we are releasing a new update! As a lot of you requested, we are here to announce the Night Mode: a darker mode for darker environments, so you can still relax without hurting your eyes. :) We also included 4 (four) new languages. Please note that we are cats and we barely speak human, so we apologize for anything that might be lost in translation. (Human says that we are still a small dev company, so we can't afford a pro translator. We're deeply sorry!) UPDATES: - Night mode - 4 new languages (Japanese, Chinese, Korean & Russian) - Some mispelling fixed Don't forget to wishlist our next game Sudocats, that will be released this March! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1725640/Sudocats/

We hear you, humans! Some people are asking for a darker mode. As cats, we sometimes forget how limited human sight really is so we didn't plan for a night mode, but we are making this happen. Here's a message from Catherine: https://i.imgur.com/vkXFTEG.png "We’re currently working on a “night mode”, a new mode to sooth the eyes in darker environments. We want to provide a relaxing gameplay no matter your surroundings! Hope you like, humans!"
