Devlog 6 - Getting Ready for Per-fur-mance

How lovely to see you again!

This week, we've been feline the grind, as we get ready to present Cosmic Cat-Astrophy at MOJO, one of Lisbon's very own game showcases!

Feel free to join us and play both our game and our wonderful colleagues' games - we'll be at Instituto Superior Técnico (Taguspark) through Monday the 19th, if you're interested. You can find the location pinned here.

With all the planning done last week, we've spent this week putting our plans to fruition, so players get to experience pawsomeness first-hand:

- We temporarily switched to a shared-screen co-op experience, so we could show off most of the game experience locally and invest further on online co-op at a later date

- We prototyped more co-operative-focused puzzles and visually-interesting planets

- We worked on bug-fixing for direct player interaction with each other and with the cable

- We improved the game development and tech documents based on the feedback from the previous playtesting session

- We prepared a playtesting plan for the major playtesting session on MOJO

Hello! This week, I worked on fixing the networking component behind the scenes, as well as supporting my colleagues on the remaining features to be improved on (a tom of all trades, if you will).

Hey everyone! This week, I've been working on fixing the bugs regarding player-to-player interaction, as well as our "new" climbing movement. I've clawed my way to success, as the players are now able to climb their way up the planet's formations.
I also gave feedback on the improved documents.

Carolina "Carol" Brás

Hello everyone! This week, I sketched out and developed planets and puzzles for our dear playtesters to play at MOJO. I also helped sketch out the storyboards for the improved game design document, and gave feedback on all the changes made throughout the new documents (game design, tech, and playtesting plan). 
You'll get to explore the planets soon - but you won't see me let the cat out of the bag, regarding them, before the showcase :3 .

Alexandra "Alex" Pato

Hi! This week, I made a detailed plan for playtesting Cosmic Cat-Astrophy, as well as further detailing and changing up our previous documents. I also worked on instrumentation implementation and will be helping out with planet development, plus preparing a newbie-friendly explanation of the gameplay for the showcase. I'm a purrfectionist at heart, so I hope things turn out as great as I hope them to be.
