Cats and Seek: Osaka News

Hi everyone! April’s here already, so it’s time for a little update from us about what’s been happening over last month!


Kamakura is the final level you’ll be able to explore through the DLC. So in total, there will be 5 levels (1 free, 4 in the DLC):

• Asakusa (Free)
  
• Akihabara
  
• Ueno Park
  
• Shibuya
  
• Kamakura
  

You can check out a sneak peek of the levels on our Patreon post! 😺




This is a brand-new feature we added, inspired by the Eki Stamps we discovered while wandering around Tokyo last year. In Japan, a lot of train stations and tourist spots have special stamps you can use as souvenirs. We loved the idea so much that we added our own hidden stamps in Cats and Seek: Tokyo! You can find them, collect them, and use them to create your very own in-game artwork. 🎨


Yes! By the end of last month, we ran our very first community translation for Cats and Seek: Tokyo, and the response was amazing. We're super grateful for your support!
Thanks to everyone’s help, the game is now translated into 15 languages so far! 🎉

• Brazilian Portuguese
  
• Croatian
  
• Dutch
  
• Finnish
  
• French
  
• German
  
• Italian
  
• Polish
  
• Romanian
  
• Russian
  
• Simplified Chinese
  
• Spanish - Spain
  
• Spanish - LATAM
  
• Turkish
  
• Ukrainian
  

Some other languages are still in progress too.
If you’d like to help translate a language that’s not done yet, or not started at all, feel free to hop into our community forum here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/2925320/discussions/0/597396108583437769/


It’s April, which means it’s launch month for Cats and Seek: Tokyo! 😳 We’re a bit nervous, haha. There’s still a lot to double-check and polish. Once everything is ready, we’ll announce the official release date. Stay tuned!

If you haven’t wishlisted the game yet, please do! And don’t forget to check out our other title, Cats Around Us: Black Cat. It’s waiting for your wishlist too! 💜

In our past games, some players were wondering, "Why aren’t the cat descriptions translated?" Well… it’s because there are a lot of them! We didn’t have the budget to translate everything properly, and machine translation just made things super weird. 😂

A bunch of you suggested letting the community help, and honestly, that’s an awesome idea! So for Cats and Seek: Tokyo, we built a brand-new translation system to make it easier for volunteers to join in.

Wanna help bring these kitty descriptions to life in your language? Go straight to the discussion board https://steamcommunity.com/app/2925320/discussions/0/597396108583437769/

[h3]Cats and Seek: Toge Land[/h3]
Back in January, we collaborated with Toge Productions to release Cats and Seek: Toge Land to celebrate their anniversary. We're so happy to see that the game has received 189 reviews so far! Thank you so much to everyone who played and left a review 🥰

[h3]Prototype[/h3]
We also tested an early prototype for another game series we're working on. So far, we've received more than 60 feedback submissions through the survey included in the prototype. Thank you so much to everyone who took the time to play and share your thoughts! If you're curious and want to try it out, you can check it out on our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/posts/new-prototype-120037282


[h3]Patreon[/h3]
Thank you to the 180+ members who have joined our Patreon! We've been sharing sneak peeks of upcoming levels there, and we're so grateful for your support.

We also received a suggestion from one of our players about community localization. Currently, all cat descriptions are only available in English because there are so many of them, and professional translation would be too expensive for us. Meanwhile, AI translations often produce weird or awkward phrases.

I'm now looking into ways to set up a community localization system that would be easy for everyone to use. Once I figure it out, I'll share the details on Patreon. And if you're interested in helping, please join us! Our Patreon is free to join.


[h3]Events[/h3]
This March, we're joining two online events: The Days of Ramadan and the Women's Day Sale. Make sure to visit the events and check out many other awesome games! Oh, and Giant Cat is on discount too!
