Read full update on Steam ↗Hello, sorry for the long silence. Here is a bit of an update. But i keep it short.First things first, because i know a lot of people are waiting: THERE WILL BE A LIMITED SUMMER EVENT SOON! Because of sickness this will take a bit longer. Patch notes:I now use another library that helps us/me to write WAAAAY less code for all the stuff. This took quite some time, so sorry for the long wait.

Read full update on Steam ↗Community VotingI finally found a way to add community voting to the game! As some of you already saw was my first test.We will from now on add different polls regarding certain decisions directly in the game.I will respect the 27% and for them there won't be another community poll shown (until they enable it again in the settings). But overall i really appreciate all your feedback on this.And yes it was ugly :D it was me bashing the assets together and not let Lars (who did the UI) do another pass here haha.Additional Patch notes:Added a language filter!! (shame on all of the bad kitties out there, i thought i didn't have to do this)Various fixes regarding the AFK timer + chatYou can now disable the Discord integration (sorry :D i thought Discord respects your settings)Future Patch:Small info here: Iris and me, will try to get a small UI update out soon.

Repeat.Big week. Tap Tap Loot is out now on Steam and we want to celebrate it with the crew behind The Farmer Was ReplacedI tested around a bit with something called "IPC" short for "inter process communication". That allows two programs to "talk" to each other.And i really liked the game "The Farmer Was Replaced" and decided to reach out to them if we can create a small collab :DThe Typer Was Replacedwas born. :DNow, you can automate both Bongo Cat and Tap Tap Loot. While your drone farms wheat, your adventurer fights monsters and your bongo cat taps along. You only need to use their new tap() function: while True: tap()Update The Far...

Read full update on Steam ↗Cats that have only 1 cosmetic equipped (either skin OR hat) wouldn't appear in the multiplayer lobby. Now they do! Thanks to everyone that help us finding these bugs. We tested the multiplayer a lot internally but you can't find everything that 100k people might find :D so thank you! ~ Marcel your Pigeon
Read full update on Steam ↗Fixed one issue where the cat would be invisible until pressing F1 Cat can now sit closer to the bottom of the screen again
Read full update on Steam ↗Changed how cosmetics information is sent to other players in the lobby. This should make sure that all cats in the lobby at least visually appear on your screen. However, players on previous versions of the game won't be able to see your cat in their lobby anymore, and vice versa, until they update. The game now uses a borderless window again, instead of being fullscreen. Fixed issue with hidden taskbar not appearing when hovering at the bottom edge of the screen Fixed issue with notifications not appearing due to fullscreen mode
Read full update on Steam ↗Changed how player connections are established. This will hopefully ensure that all cats in the lobby will also appear on screen, but lobbies will take longer to load. Especially for larger lobbies this will be noticeable. Made menu position more sensible relative to the cat's position and scale Removed lower case L (l), upper case i (I), and upper case o (O) from the lobby code generation for less confusion. This will invalidate all lobby codes created with previous versions of the game.
