KOTOVOD Worker #11: Going Deeper


Infinite is the glory of cats and humans, who participated in the Revolution, which resulted in two species colonizing Mars, so dead and lifeless before their arrival.

But when the planet surface is flourishing with trees and bushes and the factories are humming, supplying only top quality goods for cats all over the Solar System -- where would you go next?

That's right: we have to go deeper!



KOTOVOD's brightest scientists were temporarily assigned to digger roles. Equipped with our best shovels and their in-depth knowledge of Mars geology, they made it possible so that our engineers can now build transporter lines under the ground, to improve the factories' logistics even further!

Although no one really cared of writing down their names, their selfless deed will be eternally remembered! Glory to science! Glory to KOTOVOD!



[h2]Version 0.7.5 Released[/h2]
  • New underground level on the game's map
  • Players can now build transporter lines and splitters under the ground
  • Storage units are known to be not very useful at the time, which is why we've reduced their cost four times
  • Transporters connecting to buildings look prettier
  • Bug fixes

Share Your Opinion: What the Yarn?



KOTOVOD is a company built on democratic principles. Which is exactly why we have established one day (or less) per week, when our engineers' opinions matter!

Not that the administration necessarily listens to these opinions*, but it does cherish them!

This week we ask you to share your thoughts on a very sensitive decision, namely: the type of yarn that will be used in our Yarn Ball Maker machines.

All of our yarn is weaved out of highest quality cotton (slightly genetically modified with sheep genes), but it is the design and texture, that matter! This is what our precious cats will be playing with, so you can imagine what is at stake here! So choose wisely.

[h3]Option 2[/h3]


[h3]Option 3[/h3]


[h2]Head to our Discord Server to let us know of your decision, before it's too late![/h2]


*Game developers do not necessarily share the philosophy of KOTOVOD's administration. Our players' opinion matter for us a great deal!

KOTOVOD Worker #10: Splitter Cell



UPDATE: v0.7.4 is out!

Important Notice: Due to the factor that we like to call "Stupid Humans", the release of the update is postponed until Friday morning. We'll let you know as soon as it's out, stay tuned and don't forget to pet your cat on a regular basis

It is well known that the Union's engineers designed KOTOVOD machinery with perfection. When there is cats of the world happiness at stake, every mechanism must work like clockwork, period. However, when you're reaching for the stars, there's always room for improvement.

Take transporter splitters, for example! Despite working perfectly fine, previously they have only been capable of splitting stuff on conveyor lines horizontally. But now, thanks to the work of brilliant minds of KOTOVOD's scientific department, all engineers get splitters that can be rotated to split lines vertically as well!

Not only they're bloody effective, they look mesmerising, too:


In addition to that, these new splitter models are capable of streamlining your conveyors into 2, 3 or even 4 lines! The efficiency of production is expected to skyrocket! Glory to science! Glory to KOTOVOD!

[h2]Version 0.7.4 Releases (on Friday)[/h2]
  • 3 new splitters models: they rotate in both directions, they occupy less space and can stream your lines into 2, 3 or 4 streams
  • Buildings now automatically accept the amount of resources for production of 3 units of goods. More resources can be loaded manually
  • Goods and resources now visually fade out upon entering a building
  • Updated UI icons
  • Bug fixes

KOTOVOD Worker #9: Mars in Bloom


Isn't Mars just beautiful? It certainly is now!

After the great Cat-Human Revolution the planet was terraformed and has become capable of sustaining life. But its view was far from being inspiring, with only a few occasional plants growing here and there. Certainly not a place to take your cat to make a selfie (let alone chewing on some leaves!).

Well, it all changes now, thanks to collaborative work of KOTOVOD scientists and Totally Not Mutant Seeds Company (a division of I.L.L.U.M.I.N.A.T.I. Inc.)! The newly planted trees and bushes are not only beautiful, but they grow and reproduce all by themselves, without additional watering or fertilizers!

Thanks to their work, Mars will flourish, and so will KOTOVOD!

(Disclaimer: KOTOVOD and TNMS Company do not hold any responsibility for cases of uncontrolled growth and spreading of plants; it is advised to harvest plants on a regular basis)

[h2]Version 0.7.3 Released[/h2]
  • Plants are now growing intensively on the map
  • New and updated design of plants
  • The character does not get stuck in buildings anymore
  • Added a warning when starting a new game (to prevent deleting saved game by accident)
  • Minor bug fixes and interface improvements
