Cat Cafe Manager 2: Big City Bliss News

Hello! Rick here to let you know we're entering the final week of the Cat Cafe Manager 2 Kickstarter! We've been incredibly happy & humbled at the support we've received so far. As I write this we've received €62,062 to help fund the development of the game!! That's amazing!

This also means we've already unlocked 2 🚩Stretch Goals:

• €50K : 🏪 Cafe Outside Customization
• €60K : 🐱 Cat Connections

[h3]🚩🏪 Cafe Outside Customization[/h3]
With this feature you won't just get to decorate the inside of your cafe, but also customize your cat cafe's outside: colors, decorations, windows, plants, signage, and furniture!



[h3]🚩🐱 Cat Connections[/h3]
Cat Connections will see cats in your cafe build connections as they spend time together!
Most connections are positive, like 💛Lovecats, 😊Best Buds, or 🎲Playmates.
Some connections are troublesome, like 🥊Rivals, 👿Enemies, or 😼Bully!





[h2]Next Stretch Goal: 💌Romanceable NPCs![/h2]
The next 🚩Stretch Goal is set at €70K: 💌Romanceable NPCs!



We're massive fans of games that include dating and romance mechanics, and we adore the idea of including Romanceable NPCs in Cat Cafe Manager 2!

• 🎁 Give gifts to friends to grow closer! Better find out their favorite gifts!
  
• 😳 Unique events trigger when your relationship deepens. If you get close enough, you'll be able to ask to turn your friendship into a romantic relationship.
  
• 👨‍❤️‍👨 Go on cute dates, and bring a cat or two!

We hope you're as excited as we are! I'm ready to give Arwel a Pretty Girl Guncat plastic kit for his birthday! I bet he won't be weird about it, at all!

If you're already supporting the Kickstarter, a massive THANK YOU from myself and everyone on the Roost Games team. If you're not, why not take a peek at the Kickstarter page, see if there's any reward level that fits, and consider helping us expand the game with new features in the Stretch Goals, like 💌Romanceable NPCs?



Either way, thanks SO much for looking at our little cat game!

[h2]🙀 We've successfully reached the 40,000 funding goal on the Kickstarter!

🎁 As a THANK YOU gift, every single backer will get a FREE 📔 digital art book added to their Reward![/h2]

📔 The digital artbook will feature behind-the-scenes concept art, beautiful high-res art from the game, and juicy nuggets of lore on the world of Cat Cafe Manager 2!

Q: Do I need to change anything about my pledge to receive the Digital Artbook?
A: No. Every single backer, no matter their Pledge Tier, will receive the Digital Artbook.

Q: Can I get the Digital Artbook if I am not a backer yet?
All Kickstarter backers will get the Digital Artbook, you have time to become a backer until October 4th!

Q: When will I receive the Digital Artbook?
A: The digital artbook will be delivered around the same time as the Early Access Launch, mid-2026.

To get the free Digital Artbook, back now on Kickstarter!




Now that we've reached the funding goal, it's time to start getting 🚩Stretch Goals!
For those that don't know, Stretch Goals are additional funding goals that, if reached, allow us to add new features and content to the game!
The first Stretch Goal is 🏪Cafe Outside Customization, which will be added to the game if the campaign reaches €50,000.

🏪🛠️ Cafe Outside Customization will allow you to change the colors, walls, signage, windows, plants and furniture outside your cat cafe! We're excited to give you even more ways to build your dream cat cafe!



Did you know we've been posting updates on the Kickstarter showing new gameplay mechanics, characters and concept art for Cat Cafe Manager 2? Here's a little peek at some new and improved cat care gameplay!





Some of our indie dev friends are also running campaigns on Kickstarter! We'd really love it if you checked them out!

Outbound for camper-van coziness, Bora for Ghibli Zelda-vibes, The Witch's Bakery to run a bakery in Paris, Nif Nif for pacifist deck-building, Altered Alma for metroidvania cyberpunk RPG, and Bitter Silver for a cool Cowboy Bebop like visual novel. Thanks!



And that's the end of this momentous update!

If you are a backer, I want to thank you from the very bottom of my heart.
When we started working on the original Cat Cafe Manager, I never in my wildest expectations would imagine we'd one day make a sequel, let alone that the game's fans would help fund its development directly. It's so amazing to me, still. Thank you, really.

If you're not a backer yet, right now is a great time to jump aboard!
Let's go get some stretch goals and make the game even bigger, better, and fluffier!!
