Travellin Cats in Paris News

Hello everyone!

The almighty algorithm has decided we are worthy, so not only can the achievements now be showcased on your profile but I was also allowed to add community items: badges, emoticons and profile backgrounds. All of which can be found here:

Points Shop

There are also trading cards available for the super fans. Since this is a free game without microtransactions, the only way to unlock a card is to spend the equivalent of $9 on an item, which is quite extreme! This is set by Steam and there is no way for me to change it. So if you really want one of those cards, here is where you can buy the item to unlock them: Item

I was now also able to add the achievements for the two missing cats: Forsythe and Fortunata! As named by Zineryt

Peace & Love

Hello everyone!

The following update mainly contains bug fixes for people who play with a controller (1.20% of you! :D):

• Fixed a bug where panning with 3x zoom active while playing with a controller would sometimes not scroll all the way to the edge of the picture.
  
  
• Fixed a bug where the back button on the top left would be visible when clicking on play with timer mode active after regularly finishing the game while using a controller.
  
  
• Fixed a bug with 3x zoom where upon finding the last cat it would jump straight to the fireworks without playing the trumpet sound and animation first.
  
  
• Unlocking timer mode now gets saved immediately upon finding the last cat to prevent losing progress if you close or ALT+F4 the game before returning to the menu.
  
  
• Some players mentioned the game closed unexpectedly. I couldn't figure out why, but I added one security measure to hopefully prevent that from happening.
  
  
• Some players mentioned not all cat achievements had unlocked upon finishing the game, which sometimes could be caused by unstable internet connections. Upon finding the last cat, I added a check to unlock all 98 cat achievements.

Because of the recent updates to Steam's minimum price thresholds, the DLC will be unavailable for sale in Australia until 7th September 2023.

It's here! 🎉

Enjoy finding all the cats and the countless easter eggs I've hidden throughout the game.

Because of Steam's limitation to 100 achievements per game, two cats are missing a name. But fear not, I went ahead and hid the names inside the game! The first one who can tell me both names in this thread will win 5 Steam keys to give away to their friends!

Hello everyone!

The following changes are now live:

• Valve has reviewed the game and it is now Steam Deck verified!
  
• New icon for the cat meow volume setting since the old one was not clear enough
  
• Fixed a bug where seagulls would only make a sound when the timer mode is deactivated
  
• Fixed a bug where the cursor would change to the hand when over the position of the zoom icon while in-game

Regarding the Steam Deck support, which also includes gamepads in general, there is currently a slight issue with the panning that sometimes requires zooming in and out to explore the whole image. It's nothing game-breaking but fixing it is rather time-intensive and with everything else happening, I have not gotten to this yet. But I will in August for sure. :)

Speaking of all that is happening, Cats Hidden in Italy comes out in less than two days! And I just published the store page for Cats Hidden in Georgia, which seriously blew me away when I first saw it! I can't wait to share that with you later this year.

Hi,

The Speedrun Achievement is now no longer unlocking for everyone and working as intended again.
Plus the achievement text has been updated to reflect the new time.

Thank you S0FTERSIN for making me aware of this issue!

Peace & Love
