changedSUNDAY!I have decided that working in the background for the past couple years has been a terrible idea so I will be creating preview builds for CAT & MOUSE updates moving forward, starting with this first preview build. I have been going back and forth about this for a while, but firmly believe this is a way to keep players updated on the progress of the next Major update and allow players to guide CAT & MOUSE to be better.
addedSUNDAY!I have created a new beta branch for players called ' PreviewBuild_2.0_1 ' along with ' CurrentPreviewBuild '. Moving forward, all preview builds will be added to a list of available betas and a Current Preview build so players have a choice of choosing specific builds or just getting the most recent as it is released. Each preview will have the major update version followed by its build number (PreviewBuild_2.0_1 - Major update version 2.0, build number 1).
addedSUNDAY!For this first build, only 1 level will be available with 2 variations, please note that this level is not 100% completed with some unfinished/temporary assets, and the update may have bugs. Also, for those who play the game in other languages, unfortunately I dont have the ability to release new localization for each build until the Major update, so if you choose a language other than English expect to see very broken localization. If anyone would like to help contribute to the localization for CAT & MOUSE please let me know, I can provide a CSV or PO file, any language is welcome.
addedSUNDAY!There is a lot of new content and systems in the coming update, so with this preview build you will get all of the new mechanics with the caveat of only having access to 1 level at the moment. Future preview builds will have more levels and changes to levels as I finish up the Major AI & ART update.
addedSUNDAY!There will not be any regularity to these updates but I will commit to at minimum regular communication for the Major update and build progress, expect something every other Friday with new information on the progress of the Major update and upcoming builds.

I will include a change list in the community discussions so those who want to know whats in the preview builds can see and those who wish to wait will see them when the full AI & ART Major update is released.

I hope you enjoy these builds and get a sense of what is to come for CAT & MOUSE.
Thanks for playing CAT & MOUSE, I sincerely appreciate every single one of you who have played!
