Old Hag VS Cat by sankacoffee51

[raw]
made by sankacoffee51 for LD 42 (JAM)

Hello Fellow Gamers,

Small synopsis of my game:

You are an old hag, so in love with cats that they multiply in the flat at an incredible rate. You need to feed them with food and water. The beginning seems simple, but it gets difficult to access the Sink and the Closet with all those cats around.

WASD: Movement

F: Take food or drink when in front of closet or sink

F: Deposit food and drink in the bowl

Esc: Pause and menu

Drag with left mouse button to turn view around

I decided to participate on a whim, while having an already well occupied week-end, and I managed to pull off something somewhat playable within my limited timeframe.

My tools for this session were:

A few generic textures I personally made

Unity

Blender

Gimp

Inkscape

Audacity

My cats

For music:

https://pernyblom.github.io/abundant-music/index.html

OpenMPT

I went mad trying to add fur, thus the few cat colors available (have a with textures, must train this)

Have fun!!!!

the combination of graphics and sounds and the plotline were just too funny. Linux build seems to work just fine, i found that the mouse/look controls were a bit sluggish which threw off my movement a bit. Great entry

Thanks, they are made sluggish because you know, old people ^^

I could say what I want about the grpahics and feel of the game, but I was crying laughing so 5 on Humour.

Man, the controls were bad though! I hope you know you can just look down until your character is upside down... but maybe that just adds to the charm.

Good job with the clever twist on controlling the character! Really drives home the point even while it does make the game frustrating to play.

An old hag navigating through her cats sounds very interesting!

However, though I get the reason for the sluggish controls, but I still think that the physics should be accurate enough (I got a little stuck at some point) to clearly navigate the scene. After all, the point is navigating through the cats right?

The point is trying to navigate through the cats, I know I have to fine tune more the controls and the cat effects on the controls. Thank's for playing!

Even though the graphics aren't special, and the controls are mildly annoying, MAN did I laugh while playing this!

TL;DP Meow.

Pretty humorous and fits the theme quite well.

The perfect combination of great photorealistic graphics, high-level physics, brilliant idea and mind-blowing music. Most appreciated the artificial intelligence of cats and the steep sound of meowing.

I'll tell them tonight that their meow is steep and I'll be sure to be more cutting edge next time :laughing:

I love the constant meowing. Adds to the chaos a lot lol.

I couldn't figure out how to get water to the cats that needed it, and the controls were really difficult... though since you're playing as an elderly lady, maybe that's intentional?

The cat AI is perfect but dragging to look is nasty xD I get why you did it though

Hahaha so awesome! At the beginning I thought it was to easy, but after a while it was very hard to reach the bowls hahahaha

Awesome!

the combination of the buggy cats and their sounds made it really creepy and funny ate the same time xD (i liked it tho)

It was horrifying! Keep up the good work!
My favorite part was when a bunch of the cats suddenly ran to the food dish for the first time.

Not bad idea but how it seems to me insufficient work has been done to implement it.
Cat's meow and their behaviour drove me crazy =)

Now this is an interesting one.

I would have rated this a lot lower if it wasn't so damn funny. The AI of the cats is interesting. Their walk is very glitchy, but also very funny to watch. Also, they constantly launch into the air, especially near the feeding/drinking bins.

Another funny thing, for some reason you can walk faster going sideways then forward. Is the old lady a crab? She can also hold quite a few items.

Anyway, I really liked it.

Keep it up.

Hi there, thank you for you comments everyone

@thijs-tak The cats jump fairly randomly and on certain collisions too ^^ I'll look into better movement for future games! More items make carried make movement slow down, I had to let the lady carry a certain amount for it to make sense.

@scott-steffes you saw the food craving mode when their health is low that make them go straight for the food :cat:

Well that just happened...
I would be lying if I said the sound design wasn't somewhat mesmerizing :D
The game was kind of fun, but next time maybe filter some of the sounds?
Unless that was 100% intentional, then you nailed it!
I liked it, even if I don't understand why...

Nice game, Love how everything is balanced!
Good luck, Don't forget to take a look at ours if you don't mind and see what it's like when we just focused on graphics in this game jam!
