During the last weeks we have fixed a couple of crashes and greatly improved performance to help you run Kitten'd even on less beefy computers. We have also added cute steam trading cards that you can collect simply by playing the game.

We have also added support for both LIV and Twitch Integration. Let your viewers become kittens in the game and have twitch chat control the furry demons and wreck havoc in your apartment.

Check out this short clip to see what it looks like:
We made a guide to teach you more about how it all works, click here to check it out!

• Trophies updated to say accessories instead of hats.
  
• Hats no longer unlock in My Room towards the achievement.
  
• Items bought in the sandbox mode now spawn at better spots.
  
• Fixed issue with kittens sometimes not correctly occupying the space they were standing it making it so that other kittens tried to stand in the exact same spot.
  
• Used my brain and math to update pathing in the game. This boosted performance in the entire game by a whole lot.
  
• Fixed crash when picking things up really quick and putting them down REALLY quick!
  
• Add french translation
  
• Fixed issue with usernames on the leaderboards clipping into the scores if they were too long.
  
• Poops in the tutorial level can no longer be removed by dropping them several times on the floor creating a soft-lock. (thanks Zaxtor)
  
• Fixed a rare crash.
  
• Updated the engine to a newer version this should improve performance a bit for everyone.
  
• Fixed issue with the the hat achievement being real easy to get ;)
  
• Rebuilt the tutorial messages, the old system was incredibly expensive.
  
• Added 50+ new random kitten names from twitter. Thanks to all who sent cute pictures and names to us.
  
• Optimized all glass shaders in the game, they might look slightly worse but cost a lot less now.
  
• Fixed issue with the fireman achievement not correctly updating.
  
• Optimized light maps on all levels, this mainly impacts the last half of the levels.

• Streamers can now setup the game to pull names from their twitch chat. This is done under settings -> gameplay -> twitch.
  The names that are chosen from chat can issue commands to their cat in the game and even change their look!
  If anyone cheers using bits a balloon will appear in the streamers game with the name of chatter that send the bits.
  
• Fixed issue where sometimes two kittens could get the same name from your steam friends.

Scary! But also exciting.

The last weeks we have really taken onboard the feedback we got from all you beautiful people about “my room”. This extra mode felt too empty and shallow in the last builds and we decided to make it into its own proper game mode!
You can now play just in “my room” if you want. Before you had to play the story to unlock cats,hats,tools etc that is no longer the case.

You can now enter my room even without finishing the first level.
In my room you earn stars.

You can use stars to:

• Buy new kittens.
  
• Decorate your room with furniture and other items.
  
• Color the interior with color guns.
  
• Buy more hats!
  
• Upgrade the floor,walls or outside to make your room prettier.
  
• Upgrade and buy new tools to make it easier to take care of your kittens.

You can earn stars by:

• Taking care of your kittens like cleaning up their poop refilling food and petting them <3
  
• Selling items/hats/color guns you receive in presents from the kittens.
  
• Kittens can also give you stars in presents if they are really happy.
  
• Selling kittens (the happier and older they are the more stars you earn)
  
• Going to exhibitions (found in the kittens menu) and winning trophies.

You can see your current amount of stars in the store menu in my room and on the tv.

This is a massive change to the game and we still have some bugs to iron out but essentially this adds a extra gametype to the game!

Hope you like it we would LOVE to hear your feedback on these changes!

XOXO

First off we would like to reach out and thank capt.bradwen for his/her excellent bug-report on the forums. A lot of these changes have been made based of that report alone.

General Fixes

• Change to triggers on the consoles to make them a little bit smaller (consoles in world 2)
  
• Made consoles in world 2 have a timer giving the player a bit of time to remove the kittens before they trigger them. This is also used to avoid kittens re-triggering the same console over and over again.
  
• Fixed issue with kittens in “my room” not starting in the correct spot.
  
• The “my room” button on the main menu now correctly says “minutes” if you have been away for less than an hour.
  
• Removed the function to move items you can use to avoid confusing the player as you can use all of them from afar.
  
• Added a option under “video” called screenshot mode. When this is checked oculus players can press the right thumbstick down and vive players can press grip 1 to take a high-resolution screenshot! This will slow down the game for a second or two but you will have a pretty picture.
  
• Fixed kittens sometimes leaking from the sandbox into the other levels.
  
• Fixed issue with level 1-7 not always saving the score.
  
• Fixed issue where players would sometimes start on top of a cat box and falling down a little bit when they opened it.
  
• Fixed an issue where players wouldn’t be in the correct level when starting the game.
  
• Fixed an issue that made it so that you couldn’t replay the first level on a new world.
  
• Fixed an issue where spray bottle could be used indefinitely.
  
• UFOs now gets removed once the level is completed and no more will spawn.
  
• Filled up bowls and litter boxes now have the correct filling.
  
• Tweaked score targets for world 2
  
• Fixed the rockstar achievement
  
• Fixed the “complete X levels without breaking anything” achievements
  
• Fixed the “Put out X fires” achievements
  
• Fixed the “Throw 5 poops into the trash” achievements
  
• Fixed the “Happy Cat” achievement
  
• Shadow casting for kittens are now on by default.
  
• Cheating not correctly turns of achievements.
  
• Fixed leaderboards for world 3 not updating.
  
• Fixed issue with the menu on 3-2

"My room" changes
The “my room” menu has now been split up into 3 sections:
Adopt- lets you adopt new kittens just like before
Remove- lets you remove a kitten by name from your room
Wait- When you press this my room will restart and one hour will have passed. This is a good way to earn more presents by keeping your kittens happy.

There is now a limit on how many cats you can have in“my room”.
To adopt more cats you will need to earn kitten-tokens. You start with 4 of these.
With every world you complete you will gain one more token.
You can also get tokens as presents from you cats.
Cats that you earn in presents does not require tokens so you can have more cats then you have tokens.

Kittens you have adopted in “my room” will now sometimes bring you gifts when you visit them!
If you have been away for more than half an hour a kitten will bring you a gift when you visit them. If you have been away for longer there’s a slight chance you will get even more gifts!
The quality of the gift is determined by the happiest cat you have. If that cat is happy you get a nice rare gift but if it’s sad you might just get poop (literally).

Gifts added:

• Coin: This gift will give you one more coin to spend in the shop!
  
• Kittens: This gift contains a new random kitten! You can even get kittens you haven’t unlocked yet.
  
• Decorations: Lots of small decorations you can place around your room to make it look nice.
  
• Temporary food: like muffins,chicken etc. You lose no points when kittens eat these things in “my room”.
  
• Poop: It’s a poop given by angry kittens. So rude!
  
• Color guns: You can use these once to change the color of furniture in your room.
  
• Kitten Token: Pick it up and you can have one more cat in “my room”.
